I heard Flandrian cycling fans are wurst
Theyâre offal.
Vingegaard and others in a bad crash in the Basque country
Vingegaard, Roglic and Evenepoel all off at the same corner, which was lined with boulders
Vinga is still down minutes later
Race neutralised
Roglic took a solid hit yesterday as well
Saw a different angle and the concrete storm drain had a guy sitting in it, looked worse than the boulders
The big names on their way to hospital now
So thatâs Vinga out of TdF then.
Really? I heard somewhere they still think WvA had a chance to make the Giro. Still plenty of time before the Tour.
Pog is aiming to do the Giro/Tour double this year, isnât he?
Time to put some money on Bernal and G for an Ineos Tour 1-2 like itâs 2019?
Theyâll be eating steak like itâs 2010, too
Collarbone and ribs briken
Collar bone plus ribs ( plural ).
If he gets to the start line itâll be amazing, but I guess these guys are exactly that.
Was it last year that Pog broke his collarbone at about this time? He was fit by the Tour but clearly missed the top end edge when things got spicy
I think itâs asking a bit too much to miss a chunk of training/racing time without losing the edge against the fit guys
Although if Pog has the Giro in his legs, it might bring the whole field back together.
Pog was a broken wrist IIRC
Remco has a broken collar bone & shoulder plate.
Summary of injuries.
Horrible one, Brian Smith seemed to be suffering PTSD while commentating on it .
Jeez. From one crash?!
A rider went down on a bend at the front of the peloton. The run-off for the bend featured a ditch and lots of hard objects to run into
It didnât look like a significant bend but a rear wheel went out and chaos ensued. I didnât think it looked worse than other crashes until I noticed people were not getting up.
