  1. You wasted all that training and time to be disqualified for this? I hope you lose sponsorships too. Nobody should be able to do this if they'll cheat that shamelessly.

  2. Here. Put this water bottle in your bike cup holder . I placed a fishing line onto it so i can give you a tow 😀 trust me we will become champions if we pull this off!

  3. The fact this women is “world champ” and still resorts to cheating is just.. like this is why people don’t respect woman’s sports.. clowns like this ruin it.

  4. This happens all the time. Getting dragged by the team car. As long it's not too much it doesn't doe much.

  5. The nerve of her. That is not the first time she has done something like this. I’m almost positive that she has been using sneaky behavior like this through out her whole life. 😮😮👎👎

  6. How did they think they were gonna get away with it with a camera RIGHT BEHIND THEM??? That's just plain stupidity. Unbelievable. What a role model. Should b ashamed of yourself. People work so hard, sacrifice so much to win fair n square, I'm glad they DQd her.
