Brilliant. Phenomenal mix of fragility and genuinely awesome determination. Proper star.

I welled up a few times during that. I wish I had tickets for the cycling now.

I think it was brilliantly put together and edited. It was quite reassuring in a way to see someone at the top of her sport and yet be so vulnerable. Refreshing.
I think she's a fantastic athlete and her achievements are there for all to see. I'll be cheering her on in a couple of weeks time.
Not sure if I really 'liked' her though. Think she'd get on my tits after a while. Don't know if that's because she's highly strung, or very emotional or what.
Very brave of her though to be so open. I admire her for that. |

It's her father who gave me the creeps a little bit. A classic living his life through his children type. She actually seems to have come through it quite well - if a little wet at the gills  Oh and I live in her hometown of Stotfold Come on Vicky  |
