Yes, hard to watch. I feel badly for her - 23 y.o, American world champion time trialist, and now this.
The thought of taking a fast downhill curve and then losing control like that.....
There was a lot of talk earlier in this thread about causes of speed wobbles and whether the culprit is the bike, the rider, etc., but here was a professional rider and a bike surely set up by pro mechanics....
