Reaction to the wreck was immediate.

I've watched cycling for 25 years and never seen a wreck as awful as what a Dutch cyclist just suffered. Still no confirmation she survived.

Luckily, it appears that van Vleuten will be OK.

Dutch cycling federation say Van Vleuten is 'okay'. Thank goodness. They say 'More news to follow'. https://t.co/qcM3eaX0mV
