  1. Does this mean we don't have any more female cyclists?

    Nasty crash. I would never want to be standing near the photographers just over a finish line where a sprint was expected.

    Looks like she lost control trying to ride no hands

    She's ridden no hands while celebrating victory plenty of times, so I'm not sure it gives Lizzie her due to say she was "trying to ride no hands". That would be like saying last time I came down I crashed while trying to ride my bike...

    From the BBC:

    "Armitstead celebrated by raising her arms as she crossed the line, before putting her hands back on her bike... then collided with a group of photographers and race director Mick Bennett... There is no suggestion the photographers were in the wrong position."
