Morning coffee dot watch
Sad to see Maria Holdcroft #tcrno9cap41 had to scratch because of injuries sustained in a crash. She was having an epic race, fastest solo women for a long while and of course she'll be remembered as well as the first to say 'fuck these mountains' at CP1 and riding the Po valley route.
@der_raDDler Same here: Crossed fingers for Maria #Holdcroft.
Informationen of the race directors of the #Transcontinental race:
In the early hours of this morning, #TCRNo9 rider Maria Holdcroft (#tcrno9cap41) crashed "in a deep rut on a road" on the coast near Platamonas, Greece. She is currently in hospital, treated and comfortable. Potentially being discharged today, and not having scratched yet, Maria plans to make it to the Finish Line when she is ready.
I wish a good and fast recovery and cross fingers, that she can finish the race!
Ouch! Bad news got confirmed by Maria #TCRNo9Cap41 on her FB page 😣 Quite a bummer to have this happening in the last stage of the race!
@denbib Maria Holdcroft #TCRNo9Cap41 posted on Facebook:
"Will need stitches in knee, quite a deep cut
"Head seems ok
"Will try and continue in a couple of days if possible, but don't know how likely that is
"I was thinking the Greek roads were ok..."

Rennreport von Tag 3 des #tcrno9. An der Spitze unverändert #gemperle und #strasser im Battle-of-Giants, ansonsten immer wieder interessante Streckenführung (zB #tcrno9cap41 ) zu sehen und ein Feld verteilt über den Kontinent. Heute Finale?

Interesting! #TCRNo9cap41 (Maria Holdcroft) left the Alps after passing CP1 and choose a route through the pardan plain towards CP2. Could this save a lot of altitude?
