Since it’s Sunday, here’s some fun and uplifting new. Gwen Jorgensen won the test even in Rio and is now officially on the US Olympic Team, that is going to be held in Rio next year. Super new and super result. Here is a link to her website that has a recap of the race and ton of pictures, pre and post. Congratulations! And below is a video that Specialized made showing her training in Vitória, Spain, where she is based most of the summer.

This is a crazy crash from Tour of Utah. The corner was obviously very difficult, decreasing radius. I’ve had this issue twice in my life. Once, during the Coor’s Classic, I hit the La Vie Claire car that was stopped in the middle of a corner on a descent. The other time in the Tour of Texas, I pegged the Campagnolo motorcycle that had stopped to service Doug Smith, who had crashed on a corner. The first time I was relatively unscathed. The 2nd time I broke my arm. Anyway, hope these guys are okay. Link to injuries at Velonews.
Oh, thanks Ed Moore – I was winning the British Milk Race, then hit a car and pretty much destroyed myself. Another American rider on the National Team, Andy Paulin hit it first, about a second before me. Here is a link to the article and a picture of the automobile. It wasn’t a Porsche.
How about this comment over at Youtube – People can be incredibly insensitive sometimes.
