A few weeks after breaking her back in Rio she's just won the Tour of Belgium. Bloomin' heck!

Tough lass....is she the one who crashed on that downhill in the road race?

In reply to abr1966:

Yep - I think she broke her back in 3 places. I know not all broken backs are the same, but it's still some achievement.

I'll say! I saw the crash and genuinely feared the worst

Me too, it was horrible in a kind of sickeningly understated way - the way she'd clearly made no attempt to move for several minutes was chilling. Must have been hard to even want to ride a bike downhill again after that.
