@orionszbelt @JulietteLabous This is a lot for one day. Raced my first Olympic TT and now I am being fully embraced by the Brazilian Twitter Community. I thought I already had enough notifications just from the TT! Wacky day. But before I go to bed, for those asking. yes, SARIETTE VIVE IN TOKYO!!! 🌙 😁😁.

Happy tears! 🥺 It wasn’t ‘just’ thanks to my first Euro win (& first Top 10😛), but also the last 12 months. the crash, the sickness and a long road back from 5 months <100bpm. This is what dreams are made of!! Can’t thank my team enough 🥰 Also my family, friends & @258Protege.
GIGI’S DONE IT! 🙌😊Ⓜ️. @SarahGigante wins race one of the @Vuelta_Navarra #NWEC22 Classics in Irurtzun - our 1️⃣5️⃣th success of the season, and the Aussie’s first in Blue colours, at the town where our squad was born in 1980. #RodamosJuntos | @Telefonica

I can’t quite believe it, but I’m going to the @Tokyo2020 Olympics!! 🤩. There are no words to describe this feeling of an absolute childhood dream becoming a reality. It sends shivers up my spine & I can’t stop grinning!!. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way!!

I walked under one too many 🪜 last year and tested positive for covid on Saturday, the day before my comeback race! On the bright side, I’ve now got myself a wildcard entry & lots of iso recon time for @GoZwift Esports World Champs on the 27th. This one won’t be a false alarm!!

My first Liège - what better way to do it than race 60km solo & then another 65km in a group breakaway? I was caught by the pelo with 15km to go but I’m proud of how I raced (another step in the right direction 😃) & stoked for Aussie Grace Brown who took the win! 📷@tornanti_cc

Everything was PERFECT about last weekend. apart from not beating my Strava time. Wind makes a big difference! Today I was over a minute faster, and more importantly, I was 20 seconds better than my 2021 PB! The sign at the top will have to be updated after all 😁😂😂 #havingfun.

I would’ve needed a better imagination to dream of a tour going as well as this did, but anything is possible when you’re part of the best team ever!! 🤗 Stage 4 finished with roomie @BakerGeorgia taking the win, capping off a superb week of racing. 💥 SO many people to thank!!

Pretty heartbroken after an unlucky start line mechanical today, but I’m grateful for the support and proud of myself for my hard work (60 hours on the TT bike in 1 month!) and for still getting out there & racing on a road bike, even if I was 3 min down on worthy winner Grace!.

I couldn’t have felt more supported during today’s stage. I may have finished solo atop Wilunga, but the stage was an epic display of teamwork. It was especially special to be shepherded around by the one and only Nettie Edmo. always my #1 childhood hero throughout juniors 🤩🤩.
An absolute pleasure to work my b*tt off for this young superstar! What an incredible ride. Over the last couple of years I’ve watched @SarahGigante put her hand up in Aussie cycling. but now I’ve seen it first hand. incredible. Congrats chicken #queenofwillunga. #TDUFestival

Successful Day 1 out at @VCAwomen - definitely my favourite Euro race I’ve ever done and the most fun I’ve ever had in a UCI race! It was super fun to work so hard & then hear we won the stage! Now to defend Arlenis’ yellow jersey in the coming 2 stages 👊 .📷 @PhotoGomezSport

Really really heartbroken to hear this horrible news. A passionate 20 year old doing what she loved and paving the way for Eritrean cycling. The whole peloton will miss you and your big smile Desiet. We are thinking about you and your loved ones from all over the world. 💕.
I can’t believe it’s so early Desiet ( 20) .What a bad news. I can't believe it. Life is unpredictable. I can't handle this disaster news. May her soul rest in peace with God. Desiet got hit by a car during her training yesterday. @WCC_cycling

This team put everything on the line for me, so it was sad to not have the legs to go solo. Can’t fault the process though - we tried our best. I tried to bridge later, but ran out of steam & was caught on the line. but even after her sacrifices, Kim came 9th!! 📷 @SprintCycling

I had sooooo much fun at Dwars door Vlaanderen yesterday!! I really felt like part of the action, being right up there and getting to cover tons of moves and finish with the selection (behind the 2 legends out front! 👑) It’s made me even more excited for Flanders on Sunday :).
The Women's peloton noticed @SarahGigante today. Prominent, magnificent at the head of the chase, very well done Sarah. And another top shelf performance from @GLBrown321 #DDVwomen #DDV21 #couchpeloton.

It was a super @VoltaCatalunya - 2 stage wins, 4th GC, and the Sprint, QOM & Best Catalan jerseys! Sadly I fell sick 🤒 and the team decided that I should pull out due to fever. I’m sad about the timing (mountaintop finishes are quite rare!) but stoked with the team’s results 🌟

My version of Stage 8 #NRS20. Unfortunately I found out yesterday that I wasn’t allowed to race today’s TTT with me, myself and I, but I had some unfinished business from Tuesday’s race anyway, so it wasn’t the end of the world 😜 #proqomhunter #couldntgohomewithoutit

It would indeed be cool to target an Under 23 TT at @wollongong2022. But this is more critical for the newer or younger riders who deserve a platform for hope & exposure! We lose so many U19s - something which seems weird not to address when we know why.

This is sweet! Whichever way the cookie crumbles, I’ll know we risked it for the biscuit & gave our all. I won’t sugarcoat it - it’s been a tough ol’ journey to get here, but repping the green and gold is so incredibly special and amazing support like this is icing on the cake 🙈.
I’m all in for @SarahGigante and our Australian women’s cycling team @AmandaSpratt @GLBrown321 @tiffanycromwell as they spend the biscuits at #Tokyo2020 ! I promise my cheering is better than my icing! Go green & gold! @AUSOlympicTeam #PoorlyIcedBiscuits
