Even the best athletes in the world have pedestrian moments. This happened to Annemiek van Vleuten, who was leading the women’s road cycling race at the Olympic Games in Rio.

Can’t imagine how painful that was.
She is conscious and on the way to hospital. Good news, considering.

Annemiek van Vleuten who crashed in the #RoadRace is ok. Conscious but in shock say the Dutch federation.
