Ha! What was your best?

Thüringen was awesome all the way through – but what’s your favourite racing day been this year?

Aka Pigeons!

3 moments

The team effort to win Omloop Het Nieuwsblad because everyone played their part to perfection, and Emma finished it off
The even greater team effort to win Thuringen overall by some crucial seconds (because the HTC team was so strong there)
But the finest moment was Emilie Mobergs stage win (and first UCI victory) in Trophee d’Or :-)

Marianne Vos tweets her collarbone x-ray!

She crashed yesterday in the Holland Hills Valkernberg Classic when a race moto got in her way (see more in the story) - but it's so very Vos-like to show us the result.  Heal-fast, Marianne!
