'My front tyre exploded' – Annemiek van Vleuten in freak horror crash at Road World Championships
Annemiek van Vleuten suffered a huge freak crash in the opening seconds of the mixed team time trial as the Dutch super squad’s hopes of gold unravelled at the Road World Championships in Wollongong, Australia. Just moments after coming down the start ramp, Van Vleuten suddenly and inexplicably veered across the road and smashed into the barriers. Ad “Disaster! Disaster!” cried Rob Hatch on Eurosport commentary.
