This is what slightly worries me about air vests, would Cathal have been able to scoot out the way as he did if he had been wearing a vest?

I think there's probably as many ways air jackets can save you as cause you problems, it just depends on what does actually happen on the day.

Just seen on FB (badminton official page) that Nicola is in hospital but stable and will have precautionary scans. JL Dublin is comfortable apparently.

I can’t get a sense of how fast this course is riding at all. Carjatan looked like he was cruising round but that’s a huge amount of time faults.

That’s a real shame for Mollie.

Shame about Mollie. Really like everything I’ve seen from her on social media, lumhulen etc but not the numerous times she struck her horse around this XC. Pressure got the better of her I think.

The older Team GB women really seem like the very best of sportsmanship.

Not that everyone else is a bad sportsman, just they are so classy.

I think a big part of it is also watching your friends ride - at the end of the day, that’s essentially what they’re doing!

I agree on this - she’s a talented rider I just really struggle to warm to her

I'm a bit annoyed we saw so much of her. She's not the biggest name on course to warrant that much attention!!

ETA: I didn't want her to fall though...
