Some *** idiot just drove into max

Take their license away

Please 2020: stop it.

This is way more inexcusable than the Evenepoel crash, wtf was that.

 

[Mayomaniac]

And now a demented Granny hits Schachmann with her car "I didn't know!".

 

[fuiers]

In the words of the late Roger Moore: "Women drivers."

 

[Leinster]

Even if Schachmann wasn’t in a closed road bike race, wtf is that driver doing?

 

[Volderke]

A BMW (not a race car) on the parcours caused Schachmann to crash. He seems OK.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Bloody hell, how does a car get on the route?

 

[SafeBet]

Even if Schachmann wasn’t in a closed road bike race, wtf is that driver doing?

Exactly.

Being a clueless c....

Bora you could say have not had the best of days.

Shocking to allow that

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Right, so much weaker than some of the other end-of-season lineups won by luminaries such as Oliver Zaugg and Bauke Mollema. Lombardia is always fairly thin.

Even so, the field is probably thinner than any of those editions and then the main favourite crashes out too.

You have to remember, when he came up, all the big teams were "all for one". There was no "multiple captains" and no "wolf pack riding".

First Sastre, then the Schlecks, then Nibali, Fuglsang was almost always a domestique in service of a dominating captain - a very good domestique - but still just a domestique.

Of course, but he never looked like he could pull off this sort of stuff when he was a dom. Just him not being the leader is not an explanation for me

That's ok, I wager he could still win the Giro only using his left leg.

Joking aside, really good to hear.

 

[Eshnar]

Not a chance. We'll be lucky if they are closed during the actual race.

did you guys think I was joking or something

 

[skidmark]

I mean, she was just turning left. If she didn't know a bike race was going on that's perfectly normal. That's the race organizer's responsibility, and completely inexcusable.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

This race... pfff

 

[BlueRoads]

did you guys think I was joking or something

Actually yes.

God, what a day. This is all just insane.

Maybe if he'd just figured out years ago that he was more suited to the hillier one-days.

 

[BlueRoads]

Thank god no more bike racing today.

I don’t believe that for a second. The guy was at best an outsider in the Ardennes and mostly a 5-10th GC guy until last year.

I don’t like him and I don’t believe in his sudden turn of form since last year.

Fortunately, your feelings are irrelevant

Was just being sarcastic.

MvdP top 10, pretty good result

Agree.
It's like he's had a Ferrari engine put in
