Until we see an apology from Rachel to Claudio & Rob for her childish comments, there's no sign she regretted anything. She's just acting like a spoilt brat with no consequences for her behaviour. Claudio said, "Well she races with her brother, one of the leading men in the field, so that certainly helps." This is literally a verifiable FACT that could be checked in two simple questions to Rachel. Or is she going to say that riding with her bros DOESN'T help lol? No. His comment was 100% spot on - it "CERTAINLY HELPS" lol. Claudio & Rob deserve an apology, not the reverse.

PinkBike you're WAAAAY off the mark with your sympathetic comment to Rachel, who acted like a complete princess in making ANY negative comment about what was said. Claudio literally and ONLY said, "Well she races with her brother, one of the leading men in the field, so that certainly helps." And Rachel gets all hurty-feely over THAT comment lol. What Claudio said was literally a verifiable FACT that could be checked in two simple questions to Rachel. Or is she going to say that riding with her bros DOESN'T help lol? No. His comment was 100% spot on - it "CERTAINLY HELPS" lol. Drop the feminist "treat girls special" rubbish Pinkbike, it's archaic & outdated & an insult to the ability of the rest of the female riders to not generate the same false-victimhood drama that Rachel has tried to stir up. If anyone is owed an apology it's Claudio & Rob for Rachel's childish comments.

Agreed.
