In one of rachels interviews there was a love hate bit. The internet was at the top of the hated list an i wondered y she could possibly hate the internet (even rachel must have a facebook). But now looking at the comments on here its easy to see why.

I don't think she'd give any of you a second look. Maybe as she was passing you. I hope all is well with her and she heals up well so she can come back this year and dominate again!

She's an awesome rider. Possibly one of the best female riders of all time. I really hope she heals well, painlessly and quickly, because she doesn't deserve to be on the side lines. I'm sure she's also really friendly, cool, intelligent and generally fun to be around, and she's reasonably good looking.

But she's not stunning. Good-looking, yes. And each to their own - *some* guys out there will find her hot. But she's no Angelina Jolie, is she?

Not taking anything from Rachel (which I think is totaly awesome - perhaps cuz my wife is abit similar) but I bet Darwin would make a good research out of it: shortage of specimens of a cretain sex in the certain group/area, makes ,the specimens of the opposite sex, forget that there are much more attractive specimens in other groups - in simple words, although women such as mentioned Angelina J or i.e. Eva Longoria exist we believe that Rach is super hot just because 1/100 000 girls we know ride bikes...

Angelina Jolie eat your heart out. Rach is a fox through and through. She isn't one of those stuck up Hollywood "look at me look at me" gals. She's down to earth, she rips, she's tough as a coffin nail and the hammer that strikes it, and she cleans up real nice to boot. Say what you want the man who wakes up next to this awesome lady is a lucky man!

You're all a bunch of sexist boy-tards that'll never have much luck pulling the birds if you treat them in the same manner that you talk about them here.
Think for a minute, if Rachel was to read this page of drivel, she'd probably be offended that so many of you are "rating" her like she was some "town bike" down at the local boozer.
She's a good kid by all accounts, and let's not forget A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE.
Show a little respect.

To anyone with two brain cells to rub together, that was less than a line of writing. It took about ten seconds to type.

Good luck with the rest of puberty, let me know when you can read a paragraph without calling it an essay.
