13 of them uh in fact but it’s not set not set just yet uh because the likes of mass pedison is determined to shake things out just a little bit and here he is he’s gone off up the road unfortunately for him he’s got company with Giani V who made his way over
Matthew vandero um sensing that things were getting a little bit out of hand uh was determined to be part of proceedings as well so a few chops and changes that we’ve had a great race in Prospect some of you just about to head off uh for a little commercial
Break those you watching on uh subscribed on digital we will be staying with you uh next up we’ve got a little bit of rest bite before we get to the uh burgal uh 1100 M 21% as a maximum which is going to hurt but who’s he going to hurt we’ll find out
Lot of chasing and neutralizing going on here Robbie oh Flyers still coming though yeah plenty of riders been told you know try and go across because they’ve had matu vandol on the back foot and had his team do a big turn of pace to try and get things back in order M
Pon now up the front but the problem for Ms Pon now is not only he’s got the the anchor on his wheel inani forish but on this main road that the main road from uh bar back towards alard on the N8 before they’ll they’ll turn off to the
Left and go back down towards scis and approach the the B but that’s still 10K away so no real obstacles no cobbles no climbs and plenty of riders to attack and Chase in the back but now ver actually comes through to the front which is something we really did not
Expect um why has he been given that to get I have no idea oh maybe Stefan Kung down in the center of this fdj another big stop up case ball on the floor as well for a lot of very upset Riders here and I think that’s a bit of a feed Zone
Robbie isn’t it imagine somebody just moved across to the side and there was a touch of Wheels yeah it’s it’s hard to tell what what may have happened but a very busy section with Spectators Alexandro Ki also down there for UAE number 174 case ball not looking like he’s making a move
To get back up and kovi you know holding that arm and shoulder and shaking his head that he’s done never a good look Stan Kung was there um just as they were taking the bottles there there was uh helpers there just trying to hand over the
Sustenance we’ll have a look at it in a moment uh still some injured Riders case ball you know some big names have just been bitten here and in the men’s and the women’s race in very short order let’s have a look at it I’m not quite sure again is it yeah it was
Too yeah case b just hit a spectator his arm or something they were holding on the side of the road and that Cascade effect brought close to 20 Riders down nightmare John D managed to pick his way through but was slowed up as well I’m not quite sure how slow this is
Going to go case ball just getting back on his bike uh these guys had already attacked they got every right to just push on yeah of course they’re going to push on to be completely oblivious to what’s happened behind them and uh of no real concern uh tactically to these two cuz
They’re already on the attack this where they swing off that main road and they’ll get this fast downhill down into scisa in past years we’ve seen them actually come up this climb and if you know it well after this next right hand Bend you can sort of Let It All Hang Out
Down towards the bottom if you don’t know it well you’ll find yourself just scrubbing the brakes being unsure of exactly where the road is going let’s see um this is attackable this kind of distance especially if you’ve got some allies around you and I think that’s what that realization is
Washing over plenty um if you want to get on the Lifeboat it’s uh it’s now welcome back those who are just joining us anes has just pushed on for visman Lisa bike out of the pack here 80 km to go some of you have missed a big
Crash that has taken out or at least hampered a lot of ambition one can only imagine let’s have a look at it um the crowd at the side of the road Robbie and some big names hobbled yeah again as we saw on the hot on a little bit earlier similar incident the crowd
You know trying to get a a good look but then I thought I saw K ball waving his arm right before they crash as if trying to tell the crowd to move back as uh you know those Riders have got going again most of them except for alesandro kovi
And me in the peleton Kasper aarin former winner of this race is on the attack he’s gone away on that descent down to WS scoris it but yeah avoidable crashes but

A little inconclusive from that angle ngl…
You can see the turquoise helmet jolt to the left on the slo-mo where he turns his right shoulder in bracing for impact with the spectator
Can't see what happened.
Still a damn shame though.
What is doing Pedersen ???
when will european authorities ask spectators to not walk on the road let alone take stupid phone camera photo's… & where were the police for such an important race? The dumb poeple that casue these crashes should be named and shamed on video…its the only way to stop them!
Pedersen will be the main knucklehead in the next Chris Horner video.
Wtf was he thinking. MVDP won easily
What a bunch of bullshit not being able to watch this…..
Jumping to blame……..maybe the riders should not swerve all over the place. But just another click bait title by you guys seems to be common practise to get views.
Thanks again for the content, excellent
thanks for putting up all these clips and also: Can u upload a special of the commentators funny moments, Like with the "freddy mercury fan" and the golden cone and after for example?
The UCI is filled with idiots! How can have a feed zone that is intermingled with spectators?! Riders should go on strike. Is there anyone who works at UCI that was ever a previous pro rider?!
@Eurosport do you have more news about the other accident? The spectator was really in bad shape after the crash.
it was the cyclist who made a mistake and not the spectator!!!!!!! witnesses told it.
WTF is it with European cycling spectators. Keep off the f'ing road!! This is, apparently, the biggest event on the Belgian sporting calendar so behave like it is!!
It seems like the soigners give the spectators around them a false sense of security. Hey, but UCI better to focus on sock length
I hope these stupid spectators feel happy with themselves (I do not consider them fans), for ruining multiple riders' races, breaking bikes, and injuring bodies. All because they were not satisfied with watching from a safe distance. I would wager the majority are not cyclists, as if they were they would stand back, mindful of how precarious it is riding close to others at speed. Just remember, the pro cyclists despise you and so do amateur cyclists like me.
