Since Liz is such a hot topic on these forums, I figured you all might like to know. Fortunately she is gonna be ok. She is one tough bikeracer.

She's so dirty.

what is she a pro at?

Publicity shots for sponsors?

If you ever gave her the chance, kicking your ass.

Good lord! A female athlete with breasts!

Is there a "snickering" smiley face?

I have no doubt that Liz Hatch could ride at least 90% of the snarky responders in this thread off her wheel without breaking a sweat.

Heck of a crash. Not exactly fair to postulate about the failure mode of the fork, but it looks like a lot of the ones that I have seen pictures of when they run into something.

I'll take my chances and keep being snarky. never heard of her.

yeah, that's something i doubt gary has to worry about.

not trying to take anything away from her, but i doubt it.

90% of the BF'ers here could ride me off their wheel without breaking a sweat. So, it's fair to say she could probably coast in front of me. Which I wouldn't mind. ;)

good call. :lol:

also, surely she's crashed at 25-30mph before...

...on her face...

I rode with a very good Cat 2 woman last year, and she was riding as strong as the strong Cat 2 men on that ride. She was by far the fastest female cyclist I've ever ridden with, faster than some pro women I've seen. A really strong world class female pro would pwn 95%+ of amateur male racers. That being said, a strong Cat 2 amateur man can pwn 95% of amateur male racers too, so flip a coin on that one. Whether L. Hatch meets that criteria, I don't know. But she's not hard to look at.

That reminds me of a lanky female that was at our training ride last week. Hung on like it was nothing in the front group, with all the attacks and whatnot going on. She made it look easy while I almost puked a lung.

While she's definately not hard to look at, this bike carnage is a little grotesque.

Poor thing -- that doesn't look good.

I wish her a speedy recovery.

I'm not seeing a resemblance. See, I was a few bikes behind until the last attacks up the hills to the finish. Then I showed out making it known just how good I will be this year. (I don't think anyone noticed.)

There she is. Up front, gray bibs and helmet.
