2012 Giro d'Italia, May 7th, stage 3: Horsens → Horsens, 190K

ferrari wanted to jump in the slipstream of teh guy coming from right. that's why he didn't go left and clearly he couldn't see cav, he should be relegated for changing his line, but nothing more and yes it makes me happy to see cav crash. shoot me

Maybe ban you instead, that would be nice.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

If Cav had done that you'd be screaming bloody murder from the rooftops. People who are happy to see other people crash have no place in cycling

it';s a stupid move. but nothing more. what I hate cav for is something else than his sprints

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Bummer that Phinney is out of the race like that. Hitch was correct. Phinney did not even cross the line.

 

[Roude Leiw]

ferrari yes it makes me happy to see cav crash. shoot me

you are either incredibly stupid or thrive on other peoples hatred, in both cases you missed a real chance to shut up

 

[The Hitch]

I thought went across the line then got into the ambulance. Maybe I am wrong.

Oh, that would be good. I don't know if he did make it, especially if he has a broken ankle. but if he did, then he can wear pink for today and get the leaders bonus, and then perhaps, emotionally retire the jersey before the stage on Wednesday

 

[therhodeo]

I'm mad for 2 reasons.

1. Phinney
2. It finally looked like the other teams had done a good job of swamping sky but now its left open to "well Cav would have won if not for the crash"

Time for another ban, I hope they make it a year this time

 

[hrotha]

It was an Androni rider, so it's OK!

 

[Four Winds]

I think Phinney went over the line in an ambulance though.

Can't believe anyone hoping riders crash. It's as well people can hide behind forum anonymity cos I think otherwise a psychologist would be straight round to your house

Don't think Cav is gonna need to do any slabbering on twitter, the jury will do the job for him.

It should not be necessary to say that is not acceptable to wish a rider and/or team death, nor to laugh at crashed and injured riders. A warning has been given and any subsequent such postings will entail a suspension.

Ferrari should be DQd immediately. Idiot has no place in this race. None.

At a minimum, he should be relegated. Might be safer for him to be DQ'd...could end up in a ditch. Cavendish looked like he was looking for someone to punch after the crash.

I was wrong. Phinney is out.

 

[The Hitch]

Why, what did he say about rujano?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Little boy gets the pink jersey... Is that Rujano? About the same size....

Too soft..

 

[Bavarianrider]

Ferrari and Cavendish.
Two of my fantasy sprinters crashing each other, that sucks

I think it was pretty conclusive that Greenedge/Goss were superior today, even accounting for Cav going down. I was really impressed with the way the trio emerged at the front like that. Perfect teamwork

It seemed exactly the same in the world champs with the Goss in front being led out and cav being separated from Thomas and being swamped... and who won?

 

[DominicDecoco]

Phinney is ok.

No. Most of us will just ignore you, as you have just confirmed for everyone how big a jerk you are.

 

[hatcher]

Too soft..

Maybe he's really learned his lesson this time. Look how remorseful he is.

 

[Eshnar]

Phinney is on his feet.

 

[hatcher]

BMC say Phinney did indeed cross the finish line.

 

[TeoSheva]

Phinney is out or not???

 

[dlwssonic]

Its ****es me off, ferrari made a crazy move. Im expecting a cav tweet rant.
Poor old phinney ankle is so banged up. I hope its not too bad an injury.

However on BMC twitter it says
#Giro Stage 3: BMC Racing Team's @taylorphinney retains the lead after being involved in finish line crash. Updates to follow.
At least he managed to finish the race.
