114th Il Lombardia (1.UWT) // 15th of August 2020

[burning]

This looked awfully similar to Porte's crash on Mont du Chat (?) a few years back, both of them were at their limit and lost their composure for 2-3 seconds.

Conscious doesn't mean anything. They said the same about Jakobsen and Lambrecht before going into a coma. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

 

[fuiers]

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

Thanks.

 

[SafeBet]

I'm not sure I can take any more of this scares. I'm too old for this sh*t.

Thank God he's conscious.

 

[kingjr]

Someone from Deceuninck apparently said he is "ok", accoridng to ESP commentator.

 

[jaylew]

Van der Poel rode straight through a couple guys on the decent.

 

[F_Cance]

i don't believe the "he's in the amublance part". I mean people are still going down there

 

[DNP-Old]

British Eurosport said, based upon sources within the team, that he is okay. Whatever that means.

 

[Gigs_98]

Back to the race, really having issues seeing anyone other than Fuglsang winning this. Has to be the outstanding favorite now.

 

[Mayomaniac]

He did a recon multiple times of that descent.

Ok, then Italian media reportedit wrong yesterday, my bad.

ES reporting from DQS that he's ok

Come on VDP, what a fighter

 

[BlueRoads]

Really, I don't care about the race now.

 

[Climbing]

Nobody is getting back.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

MVdP +38s
Gruo2 +60s

DQT didn't say he's "ok". They said the race direction said he's conscious and they're trying to get him out.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He's talking to the doctors.

 

[Faserr]

I didnt look that deep

 

[fuiers]

Really, I don't care about the race now.

Yeah that really made me a bit sick and I hate when they show that crash over and over again. Like one time was enough.

 

[jaylew]

When will Trek start attacking?

 

[Rollthedice]

Nobody is getting back.

Trek did a great job, let's see if they can finish it.

 

[Big Doopie]

i know it's a precaution that he is strapped in, but of course that makes me concerned that there may be concern of nerve damage...

 

[Volderke]

I didnt look that deep

depends on where he landed. He touched the bridge with his chin as well, and maybe also his knee / shin, but the landing zone and how he impacted will determine his injuries.

 

[F_Cance]

Treks climbers barely made the cut on the Sormano and now they are just waiting for the next climb. Great tactics. Why not use the numerical advantage...

 

[woodburn]

Work of medical people really amazing given circumstances.

 

[JosephK]

Remco was strapped onto the stretcher--immobilized. That would be a precautionary step before they are able to check for any spinal injuries. Can't draw any conclusions, except it's great news he's conscious.
