There was an incredibly nasty crash in the women's road race

Annemiek van Vleuten was leading with 10k to go when she was involved in a VERY nasty crash that left viewers shaken up. She later tweeted from hospital (with three fractures in her spine and a concussion) to let everyone know she was otherwise OK.

The crash angered cycling legend Chris Boardman, who said he believed the course had not been safe enough for the event to go ahead.
