Looked like he had already been distanced a little by Nibali's pace. Probably forcing it to stay with them. Awful.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

De Plus, two turns earlier to be precise.

Also two other riders went over in the same spot independently (Bakelants was one I think)

Let's just hope for the best now
MVDP almost back to the peloton

Awful crash for RE. Fingers crossed. Looked type of turn where speed was not superhigh, slomo view looked highsider over the bars.

MVDP almost back to the peloton

What is the rest of the race like? Is MVDP gonna be stronger in the end of the race?

That is comforting to know he is awake. Biggest fear out of the way at least.

Please be true. Huge relief if it is.

I hope it's not too serious. That said, only doing a recon of the climb and not of the descent when you're riding it for the first time isn't exactly the smartest move.

Yes. Italian reporter on the moto told Remco was having troubles keeping up with the leading group on the descent.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

thank god Remco is ok

Meanwhile VDP is BOMBING that descent

That's good news. At least we can enjoy the rest of the race now.

De Plus, two turns earlier to be precise.

That was it. Jesus, what a descent.

Memories of Gilbert smashing his kneecap at the Tour, too.

 

[Jagartrott]

What a strange place to crash. I hope he's perfectly OK. Too bad for the race.

It happens when you're on the limit and he was struggling to keep contact.

 

[meat puppet]

Good he is okay. Looked very Bad.

 

[fuiers]

Now Im rooting for Bennett because he is in my fantasy pool.

He did a recon multiple times of that descent.

 

[Big Doopie]

now pulling for vdp to make it back

There is a final climb which isnt going to be welcome for him.
