2012 Tour de France; Stage 1: Liège → Seraing (198km)

[Ramira]

LL Sanchez not looking good. I hope it's nothing serious, the longer we can go without anyone dropping out due to crashes the better.

 

[the asian]

Karpets Involved in a crash again. Rogers & rojas down too.

 

[Mshengu]

Saxo - Tinkoff kits looking pretty good, Sky looking crazy with those yellow helmets

 

[180mmCrank]

Karpets on the floor.
Michael Rogers too
and a Euskatel.

Ha Ha ....

 

[Ramira]

And the crashfest has begun, lets just get to the finish without any injuries now.

 

[The Sheep]

LL Sanchez down... first Rabo

Tankink already fell earlier

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The crash galore has started.

 

[the asian]

Holy Cow. That's a massive pile up.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Monfort down in the 2nd crashlet

 

[mastersracer]

another crash - these dangerous straight five lane roads....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So we're on the way at losing some riders here

 

[Trofinios]

What the hell! Nervous bunch.

 

[Ramira]

LL Sanchez looks like he's fine, you don't use your arm like that if something is broken.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Stupid stupid people photographers :L

 

[Publicus]

Dumb spectator

 

[Froome19]

How Rogers could be involved in any crash, when he is so noticeable is beyond me..

 

[Mshengu]

what is Tommy V doing at the back with all the crashes there

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Apparently Valverde was involved in the second crash as well.

 

[Trofinios]

Jesus, what an idiot.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I assume no 3km rule due to hill before the finish?

German Eurosport said it counts as a sprintstage pointwise. Therefore it should have the 3km rule I think.

 

[Froome19]

Canc to do a 2010 for Maxime?

 

[180mmCrank]

another crash - these dangerous straight five lane roads....

... there should be a speed limit!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Alejandro is far... maybe he was behind a fall

 

[Pharazon]

German Eurosport said it counts as a sprintstage pointwise. Therefore it should have the 3km rule I think.

that's only if the peloton finishes together though, and it wont

 

[Publicus]

Apparently Valverde was involved in the second crash as well.

He got back to the peloton.

EDIT: echelons!
