[just some guy]

Soler has been evacuated to hospital via helicoptor, so let#s please cool it with the jokes.

Dam, they guy should retire Bone is not designed to take that much punishment.

Be well Soler.

I am not following the logic of neutralizing the race due to a crash. It's not on a circuit, so why shouldn't it go on while the doctor attends to the injured?

I sense that Cancellara had something to do with it.

EDIT: Just read that Soler is hurt more seriously than just a normal crash. Hope he and the spectators are OK after they get some medical attention.

Soler abandons

Sad news for us all.

Already my favourite poster with 'Tifosi' in their name.

Yeah, your probably right
Coincidentally you are my favorite poster with "Jamsque" in their username.

This guy should stop riding his bike. Seriously... He's going to kill him self if this keeps up.

You don't even know what happened, so please save your comments to yourself.

Well isn't this lovely?

Soler is one of the most frustrating guys in the peloton. He's obviously a huge talent but he just can't get it together.

He's like the Colombian Tom Danielson.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Nooo Soler Let's hope it's not too serious and he gets to ride Le Tour in good form

 

[Eyeballs Out]

That doesn't sound good at all

 

[El Pistolero]

You don't even know what happened, so please save your comments to yourself.

Seeing as he falls in every race he pretty much enters it's not going to be someone else's fault all the time.

I'm actually worried for this guy's health

And jeopardizing your life isn't really worth riding your bike professionally. He clearly lacks the bike handling skills and then some.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Soler should quit cyling. Seriously this doesn't make any sense anymore. He crashes too often.

 

[Lanark]

This guy should stop riding his bike. Seriously... He's going to kill him self if this keeps up.

I'm sorry to say but Soler is quickly reaching the point were he isn't just a danger to himself, but to the rest of the peloton as well. If I were a pro rider I would make sure I was at the other side of the peloton from him.

 

[JohnNordin]

Are their any live streams actually going now? I'm getting everything but the race when I look around. Sorry, I'm sure this was covered before, but would appreciate a link.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

[Tifosi]

[Tifosi]

Well, he's been airlifted to hospital, so probably safe to say no, not really.

To be accustomed to (Movistar), to the hospital after one serious fall in Switzerland

Mauritius To be accustomed to has had to leave the Tour from Switzerland when suffering a fall in kilometer approximately 40 of the sixth stage. The Colombian cyclist of the Movistar Team is transferred in helicopter to a hospitable center. He was second in the general classification and Sunday he obtained a partial triumph.

Apparently, To be accustomed to has suffered a serious accident and has hit against several spectators who also have been taken care of by the medical services. The race has been neutralized even during several minutes.

So far, one does not know the injuries and the exact gravity the injuries that have been able to subrir the Colombian climber of the Spanish set.

ok thanks, hope he's ok but bad luck sure does seem to follow him around

 

[Publicus]

So the crash involved spectators as well? Not good, not good at all. I hope Soler recovers quickly.

Been a bad year for Movistar GC riders
