• modan and co. are in Innsbruck.

    Emily is very far back--I wonder if she has a problem of some kind, the difference to last year is very considerable. No changes in the women's race, Melissa Pritchard still leading by a comfortable distance from Karen Tostee. I've also only just spotted the excellently-named Jenny Tough (but she's far back).

    Gary McGowan (who for some reason has two entries) is just coming up to the Hungarian border.

    Michael Wacker would seem to definitely have gone out too hard on the first day. He's way back in the pack.

    Stéphane's going very well, sitting in 10th.

  • She's posted on twitter that she's OK and still riding but no longer racing - heat + exhaustion. Sounds like the right decision.

    Cheers, TB. Sorry to hear that Emily has since had to scratch, but it just illustrates how tough this is.
