"Negotiate with God" Breaking Away with Chris Carmichael in San Jose 8/20 Mick Murphy, the Irish "Iron Man" Cyclist Via Cycling News At least Qatar has a Women's Tour Look at those guns! Dayum! And that's a podium girl unlike most we see. I think they have better funding than the ToC Some serious legs on that girl for sure. I love the shades the podium girl is wearing.

Who sponsors the women's Tour of Qatar? Is it a government thing or is there private sponsorship too?

FYI, I'll be shooting the women's crit in Santa Rosa this Sunday. The only way I could like this photo better would be if the woman in black were wearing a helmet and cycling gloves. California cycling photography enthusiasts, take note World downhill champion Rachel Atherton injured in Santa Cruz crash Thanks for posting this, Alison. I heard about Rachel's crash this morning here in Santa Cruz but didn't get around to posting about it. She went over the hood of a car and into the windshield. She's pretty beat up. From the photo, it looks like Ms. Atherton doesn't have a serious head injury. Get well soon! Less bicycle handling skills and more effective driver education and skills. Drivers' Education in the US is a total joke. ~40 hours with less than 6 hours of practical and they turn you loose, never to be trained or tested again.

Aaron Aaron, in this instance Rachel admitted to cutting into the wrong lane going through a turn. First Liz Hatch and now Rachel? It's been a bad week for high-profile female cyclists.

Here's a prayer to both Liz and Rachel that they get well soon! Aaron, might want to check facts before you jump to the conclusion that the automobile driver was at fault. Because she was not. She was not cited by the police. Ms. Atherton was on the wrong side of the road and admitted the fault of the accident was her own. I am the owner of the pick up that was involved in the accident. I am sure that being on the wrong side of the road was an honest mistake. how ever Rachel has made no attempt to contact me and has not returned several emails that I have written to her team website. In addition almost 2 months later and the CHP report is still not done due to their inability to obtain her contact information.
this was a mistake but it is her responsibility to pay for damages to my truck witch totaled in over 3,500$ that I can't afford to fix and shouldn't have to. She already admitted to her irresponsibility not wearing a helmet how about not paying for the damages she caused. Truckowner, have you talked to your auto insurance company about this? It's their job to take care of you and collect the losses from Ms Atherton.
