season ended?

Race and I’m afraid this was the moment and the panning and everything was was there but not in this place and you can’t account for a rider slipping off I guess but it was that concrete open drainage ditch it’s there to catch um flood water at the side of the road

And keep the road clear and going into this and over it and around it with rocks around as well it was just a disastrous moment yeah you saw Lander’s reaction there when he looked around and saw um EV B you know going off the road crashing I

Think it was it tsfat on it slid first and it causes a reaction causes a little bit of panic you you bang the end and and what the the sports directors do um I think they will race I think we’ll we’ll race into town um of course this

Happens from time to time in in cycling it’s you know this is our Sport and in the meantime fig go is been kind of stretchered to the ambulance they they have to make sure that they’ve got covered because there still 30 OD kmers going the stage

But yeah it’s a it’s a real real nasty one you can see you know he’s got the oxygen yeah it’s scenes that we don’t want to see again I don’t think not happy about seeing them now to be honest because because you have to remember that the families and friends

Of these Riders are also watching these pictures and that’s the worst thing that is the worst thing yeah they don’t know their condition and neither do we and we just hope for the very best um first and foremost these are human beings for goodness sake fore

  1. Jonas "Hypoxic" V. hit the red rider's back wheel and fell on the ground then up front another rider slid out on the corner. So there were 2 crashes here that started this all.

  2. Too many people blaming the organisers. If you race on the road you take risks – organisers do what they can but they cant put padding on every corner and every bit of road furniture.

  3. 3 of the big 4 taken out in 2 days. I was worried it would be unlikely that they'd all make it to the Tour healthy and in good form. Let's just hope for a full and speedy recovery. People went directly into that wall at the end of the ditch. Horrible crash.

  4. that may be the most useless barrier ever in a race. UCI should fine the organizer but they are too busy checking brake lever angles. absolutely unbelievable to not have a barrier in the correct spot with the rocks and concrete there.

  5. Even if they couldn't put a fence up or something, you'd obviously think some soft protection over the obvious concrete/rocks would be a good idea?!

  6. That route should not have been approved for this competition! A deep concrete ditch and some boulders, exactly at the curve, with no protection for the riders. This is terrible!!

  7. The guy second off the front had some speed wobble and lost a little control and the guy to his left could not avoid him. That is how the crash started.

  8. 0:02 😮Both Lidl and Visma rider were sketchy mid corner before the wipe out. Could be a sign of corner braking on a fast descent skidding the tires. The other riders on the same line made it which means the road surface is clear. 😮

  9. the aerial view of Vingegaard being stretchered away is one of the worst things I've ever seen in cycling. He's "only" got broken collarbone and ribs, but it looks so, so much worse in that footage. The lead rider (Landa?) has the correct reaction. He's like, "f**k!". Which is the reaction you want to see. The one you don't want to see is someone attacking.

  10. Right at the start at 0:01 look at the wheels of the riders in 2nd, 3rd and 4th position. They jump around like crazy because of bumpy asphalt. Remco almost made it but he had to make a choice in a split second to try and hold the line, maybe hit that ditch or jump the ditch and maybe ride it out on the grass.

  11. Yo conozco muy bien esa curva y esa zona, cuando vas en coche el vehículo solo por inercia sin pisar acelerador coge velocidad ya que es una curva que te "escupe" muy rápido y si no vas atento te sales seguro, ademas siempre tiene diferentes baches u ondulaciones debido a raíces que van debajo de la carretera debido a los grandes árboles de la zona.En bici al coger la curva y tumbar un poco para entrar bien y girar el manillar la bici coge muchísima velocidad. Esa curva debía de estar debidamente señalizada a través de policía, auxiliares de la carrera, moto enlace,etc… y como no poner paneles de gomaespuma donde se puede salir el ciclista, cierto es que había uno naranja ( en el vídeo se ve) pero no está en la zona adecuada de posible caída. Seguro que desde los coches a través del pinganillo lo avisaron, pero al final es una carrera ciclista de alto nivel donde van al límite y cae uno y caen los demás al cortar trazada. Mi opinión es que esa curva no la señalizaron ni la avisaron adecuadamente personas que montan o montaban en bici, profesionales o no, personas que saben del tema de cómo se va en bici en una carrera de alto nivel. Recuperación pronta a todos los lesionados y que no les afecte tanto a nivel profesional como personal.

  12. Horrible crash, so sad to see these great riders getting injured, wishing every one of them a full and speedy recovery. Well done Remco for the bunny hop!!
