Having seen some people with approx. the same injury, I'd say that, optimistically, he could be able to put pressure on that ankle / foot within a week and start training rollers again. If not, it could be 1-2 weeks off the bike.

Wyseure without gloves for an hour…!

😕

Toon Aerts, Orts both decent, all others far back.

He’s coming back it seems… probably overstretching but it’s still great to have a race!

That’s it, time to do something else I fear! Edit: the snow makes it still worthwhile to watch.

Some beers even taste like p... :D Yes, ok, yes, but again, you're making it bigger than it is. Yes it's never OK and I was stoked that yesterday they immediately found the guy and interrogated (as in: such incidents have consequences, which is what I would like to see all the time), but...

The guy involved in the incident is, according to the latest info, a legitimate lover of the race but (as far as I see on the footage) clumsy / stupid (and maybe a bit drunk), without any 'hate' towards MvdP. Still, this incident is used by you to make the above statement. I fear your...

Your point was it’s Belgian fans. I agreed with that point. I didn’t miss anything. I only added some context. Van der poel has more die hard cross fans in Belgium than anywhere else in the world, simply because there are, for starters, more cross fans than all other countries combined. He lives...

Ofcourse it's Belgian fans: They are 90% of cyclocross fans, and there were 9 (the incident today included) idiots out of 10 races x 20.000 fans x 6 years = 1.2 million fans that are lining the parcours. It's actually a miracle it's 'only' 9 incidents, considering 10-20% of spectators are...

What does aars mean? Land is land, no? You should look up aars in Dutch, and consider the consequences of proudly speaking out your surname 🙃

Where is the "I donate 10-20 mil yearly to keep my PT team up and running" option? or the "I am loyal to my employer so I support the team I work / ride for" option? I mean, you're potentially ignoring some valuable forum members...

I really liked the European Championship for Mortals (Scaroni vs. Seixas).

I know first hand some riders weren't happy with Van Schip, but more so because they find it an unfair advantage (and it is, for sure, an advantage, whether it's unfair, see below). There are some points here I would like to separate: 1. It's ugly. I think we all agree. But that's not the...

There is no evidence it’s unsafe, as these kind of setups have been raced by van schip for years. And he has written approval from the uci so it must be that the measurements are ok (in his case he can probably get exemptions as well, with his 1.94m height). So in short, what exactly was your...
