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

[TourOfSardinia]

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

. . . Civilgio

 

[Big Doopie]

not a nibs fan (at all).

however, i appreciate the fact that he has shown over and over again that there is more to cycling than just power numbers.

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.

The fact he's alive is amazing if the drop was as big as on the side we can see

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I predict it will be 3 Trek riders taking turns trying to catch Bennett and Fuglsang after Civiglio.

I'm hoping for Fuglsang ofcourse, but Bennett looks very strong.

Jumbo Visma SD not taking a piss now, good.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I didnt look that deep

No, the trees were almost as high as the bridge. Not that deep.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

MVdP now back with the gruppo 2

33 °C

 

[Leinster]

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...

The remaining climbs aren’t nearly as tough. Sormano is a climb where you have to survive, but Civiglio is a climb where drafting makes a difference.
Also, they have the best descended among them, and maybe they think Ciccone is the best sprinter left.

I didnt look that deep

To me it looked like a huge bridge.

 

[Mayomaniac]

No, the trees were almost as high as the bridge. Not that deep.

Maybe he hit a few bushes on the way down.

 

[Big Doopie]

vdp done...?

i guess i am pulling for bennett now.

or vlasov

No, the trees were almost as high as the bridge. Not that deep.

...in the context of falling after landing on your neck on a bridge wall, that sounds pretty deep to me. Not see would be trees way higher than the bridge

 

[Volderke]

Holy ***...I hate evenepoel but damn i dont wist that to anyone

This kind of wording at this time... I never understand. Never.

 

[Bonimenier]

Why do they have to show this?

 

[ciranda]

Here is where it happened, I think he hit the wall where the road narrows

Showing it now. Looks like 20 feet or so

 

[bigcog]

30 foot drop by looks of it, jesus ...

 

[fuiers]

Thank god it was a lot smaller drop than the cameras made me believe.

 

[Gigs_98]

We don't need to see those pictures and I don't want to see those pictures

 

[TourOfSardinia]

To me it looked like a huge bridge.

5 or 6 metres drop

 

[Big Doopie]

hindsight is 20/20, but remco could have been 30 secs behind at the bottom and caught back on very easily.

then again he had burned out all his teammates and there were 3 treks and 2 astanas in front.

 

[TomLPC]

I'm sick of the commentators blaming the "Home Broadcaster" for showing the pictures

You don't need to show them. just stick the fkin snooker on for 30 seconds or something

 

[perico]

The fact he's alive is amazing if the drop was as big as on the side we can see

Hell he went landed his head on the bridge before flipping over. I’m shocked he didn’t break his neck before he flipped.

 

[Faserr]

To me it looked like a huge bridge.

I meant lethal deep, but certainly shocking enough.

 

[Breezy1985]

What was that 10 metres maybe more. It looks easily the hight of a 2 storey house
