"I especially want to say sorry to the team, I really scared them" - Marlen Reusser hits the deck but bounces back up to take World Championship title

Helping Switzerland to successfully defend title in the mixed relay team time-trial event at the Glasgow World Championships, you'd think Marlen Reusser would be elated. Actually though, it was more relief as she explained afterwards.
"I gave my teammates a fright, luckily we were able to straighten it out," said the 31-year-old post-race after crashing hard whilst the Swiss women were just finding their groove out on the course. Thankfully for both Reusser and the remainder of the Swiss team, it wasn't a race-ending one, she was able to get back on the bike and chase back onto her teammates's wheel.
"I especially want to say sorry to the team, I really scared them. Maybe I could have made it more exciting for the fans," she says with a smile. “It is very nice to become world champion for the second time in a row. It shows that we have a strong team. Everyone wanted to get involved again this year, that's nice."

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
