Many of us, as cyclists in 2024, rely on our bike computers for a lot while we're out riding: navigation, time, training aids, even as an aide-mémoire to eat or drink. A world without one is a frightening one, so we can only empathise with the pain that Matilda Raynolds went through on stage one of the Women's Tour Down Under, when the BridgeLane rider was deprived of her Wahoo.
This wasn't any other day, either, it was the 36-year-old's second race at WorldTour level, and also a day that she made it into the break, and was then also the last woman standing up the road. There was even a time when she thought the win might - might - be possible. So for this to be the day without a mount for her Wahoo was not the one; it might have been in her back pocket, but that's hardly useful when racing out of your skin.
