    Rumours Annemiek van Vleuten - broken wrist and all - is potentially going to ride the road race... Mental.

    Lots of meat, presumably.

    It's probably not the best place to be vegan.

    Mainly pork, something like four pigs per inhabitant in the region. Head to toe, there isn't a part of the pork which is not turned into a local delicacy.... nose, ears, feet... you name it

    My definition of ‘delicacy’ is the bits of animal that should be given to the dog.

    Never tried ears, nose in gelatine is quite nice, generally speaking collagen parts in vinegar gelatine are nice. The foot filed with minced cartilage,, meat, fat and white pepper, called "zampone" is awesome.

    It's a very bland course.
    Hardly any technical aspect to it.
    Obviously the UCI's answer to the disparity between the men and women was to add a couple of kms to the women's event and shorten the men's course by 25kms.
    Be careful what we wish for I suppose.

    Dygert crashes out over the barrier.
    Looked like she lost a tyre off the rim.

    Van der Breggen’s voodoo doll seems to be working well. That’s the Giro Rosa and the worlds TT where it has done its stuff

    Hope Dygert is okay. Cyclingnews.com making it sound like a really bad one.

    It reminded me of Quintana's crash in a Vuelta TT a few years back

    Is she not on discs? That shoot is not suited to time trialling, where they pump the tyres at 140 PSI
