Annemiek van Vleuten: Dutch Cyclist Wipes Out During Olympic Race

Nothing is worse than training for the most important race of your life, only to fall victim to the elements and land in a ditch.

Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten was taking part in the women"s road race at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, when her bike lost its grip on the slippery road and sent van Vlueten crashing over the curb.

She was just six miles from the finish line when the accident occurred, and video shared by betting site, Spread Ex shows van Vlueten lying on the side of the road. 

While she was rushed the hospital, her teammate, Anna van der Breggen was able to cross the finish line first and clinch gold.

Former cyclist and BBC commentator Chris Boardman expressed his outrage over the crash.

"I’m actually quite angry because I looked at the road furniture and thought nobody can crash here and get up,” he said, according to the Daily Mail.

“This was way past technical, this was dangerous.”

After watching the footage, it"s hard to believe that van Vlueten would be OK.  Fortunatley, she was able to tweet an update to concerned viewers.

"I am now in the hospital with some injuries and fractures, but will be fine. Most of all super disappointed after best race of my career."

van der Breggen recalled the series of events that occurred, and how she focused on winning gold not just for herself, but for her friend and teammate.

"We saw Annemiek at the side of the road; it was very strange because it just looked not good," the gold medalist said, according to the Guardian.

"That shocked me and I think it shocked us all. It was difficult to carry on from there. Afterwards Emma [Johanssen, Sweden] said – just do it for Annemiek and I thought – yeah, that’s right. We took turns from there and got ourselves into race mode.”

Bryan Clauson Dies; Race Car Driver Killed in Horrific Crash (VIDEO)

Race car driver Bryan Clauson died Sunday from injuries sustained in a horrible crash the previous night at the Belleville Midget Nationals.

He was just 27 years old.

Just after taking the lead at the event Saturday night, Clauson climbed a guard rail between Turns 3 and 4 and flipped in extreme fashion.

He was then hit by a car driven by Ryan Greth, reports indicate; the race continued after a red flag period and was won by Chad Boat.

Clauson would not recover from injuries sustained in the crash, which can be seen in the video below (and may be upsetting for viewers).

"This is truly one of the darkest days in the 60-year history of the United States Auto Club," USAC CEO Kevin Miller said of the tragedy.

"Not only have we lost one of our greatest USAC champions," Miller added, "but we"ve lost a true ambassador for all of motor sports."

Clauson ran in three Indianapolis 500 races, including a 23rd place finish in May in which he led three laps, and on the NASCAR circuit.

He became best known in the dirt racing world, however, and as a beloved, versatile driver who racked up wins at an impressive pace.

"Bryan"s passion for our sport was unparalleled," Miller said. "He was a leader not only on the track, but in the pits with his fellow competitors."

"There"s a tremendous hole in the hearts of our community today as we grieve his loss along with his family and friends," Miller added. 

He earned two USAC national sprint car championships, two USAC national midget car championships and 170 feature wins in his career.

Specifically, Clauson was a three-time winner of the Belleville Nationals, where he fatefully raced as the defending champion this weekend.

Bryan even endured a major crash on the same track Friday.

“Took a tough hit last night, but the guys have me another hot rod ready for tonight"s Belleville Midget Nationals!” he tweeted on Saturday.

Hours later, he crashed again, and this one proved fatal.

Clauson was planning to marry fiancée Lauren in February.

One of his close friends, NASCAR star Tony Stewart, expressed overwhelming sadness following Sunday"s race at Watkins Glen International.

"It’s a tragedy," Stewart said. "That kid drove for us for a long time and did a great job and never went anywhere, I don’t care what happened."

"No matter how bad his day was, he always found a way to smile with it. Him and Lauren being engaged, kid had such a bright future."

"It’s just … it was hard to start the day today in the car."

"It sucks when it’s anybody in racing. It’s hard when you lose them, but it’s even worse when they’re somebody as close to you as Bryan was."

Stewart continued, shaken up at the loss of his friend:

"I feel for Lauren and Bryan’s parents and his sister, and I hope to see them soon, but just thinking about them more than anything right now."

A statement from Bryan"s family said that Clauson "fought to the end with the same desire that he demonstrated behind the wheel."

More than that, they said, they revere the person he was.

Bryan, they said, always "took a moment to make a fan"s day or demonstrated kindness and appreciation toward his friends, family and fans."

Dan Bilzerian Wins Multi-Million Dollar Bicycle Race Bet!

Yesterday, we reported that professional poker player/hedge fund bro Dan Bilzerian had embarked on a 300-mile bicycle ride, with the intention of pedaling from his home in LA to the Las Vegas city limits in just 48 hours.

Many doubted that such a feat could be accomplished by a 35-year-old with a notoriously hedonistic lifestyle and four heart attacks in his recent past (Full disclosure: We were among the doubters.), 

But to the shock of many (and the dismay of at least a few high-rollers), Bilzerian has completed his journey well ahead of schedule, having reached the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign this morning.

No official announcement has been made yet, but investor Bill Perkins, who bet Bilzerian $ 1.2 million that he couldn’t complete the trip in time posted the following tweet several hours before the deadline:

“@DanBilzerian 25 miles away, controversial van removed 100ish miles out, no doubt Dan smoked this on a few drugs & adrenaline #EgoMotivation”

The “controversial van” refers to a vehicle that Bilzerian had traveling in front of him in order to create a slipstream.

The divisive “King of Instagram” also traveled with a masseuse, two chefs, a team of medical professionals and a full police escort.

In addition to his wager with Perkins, Bilzerian reportedly had more than $ 1 million in side-bets on the line.

If he had died on the road (a legitimate possibility due to his aforementioned health issues), Bilzerian’s private jet would’ve been handed over to entrepreneur and Paris Hilton sex tape star Rick Salomon. 

Bilzerian – who claims he hadn’t been on a bike for nearly two decades prior to accepting the challenge – trained for several weeks with cycling legend Lance Armstrong in exchange for making a $ 25,000 donation to the charity of Armstrong’s choice.

So if you’re considering attempting such a stunt yourself, remember that you probably can’t afford a team like Bilzerian’s – or the millions in bets that no doubt helped inspire him to reach the finish line.

Code Black Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: Did Your Pulse Race?

Code Black is the anti-Grey’s Anatomy.

We didn’t open Code Black Season 1 Episode 1 with any sex between co-workers or any profound talk on elevators; that’s not what this new CBS drama is about.

Watch Code Black Season 1 Episode 1 Online

Instead, the network is aiming for the next ER, a series medical procedural that focuses more on cases than the doctors who deal with them.

Not that the doctors aren’t important, of course. We still need to like the staff members who deal with intense cases everyday at Angels Memorial Hospital.

And they are:

• Senior nurse Jesse Sallander (Luis Guzman), who refers to himself “your mama” because there’s nothing that happens at the hospital that he doesn’t know about.


• Dr. Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden) a risk-taking residency director who is all about tough love and who is fueled by rage after an accident three years ago.


• Christa Lorenson (Bonnie Somerville), a resident/mother who is often serves as Rorish’s punching bag.


• Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Lorenson’s younger colleague and, we’re just guessing here, her future love interest.


• Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey), who oversees the Emergency Room.

On the premiere, Christa performs an emergency C-section in an ambulance while Dr. Rorish gives her instructions over the phone. This leads to a moment in which we learn Christa lost her son to cancer.

We also learn that Rorish lost “everyone” she loves somehow.

For the record, a Code Black takes place when there are more patients than resources at the hospital.

We’re told early on that the average hospital faces five per year, while the one featured here features nearly one per day.

So viewers can prepare for a lot of action, just not the bedroom kind Grey’s Anatomy has been so successful at portraying.

Go ahead and watch Code Black online to see if you’re interested in the other type of action
