Boom, Farrar and Boasson Hagen too

 

[saneguy]

Meersman is out of contention for this stage for sure...

 

[Netserk]

Motor pacing ftw

 

[trevim]

Andy dropped on the flat

Any idea why?

Voeckler putting the hurt leading the peloton - but for whom?

Meersman Hagen Boom and Farrar all crashed, Meersman tries to use his teamcar to catch up.

 

[DominicDecoco]

If Meersman catches that peloton, he should not be starting tommorrow.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Meersman nearly back, what will the officials say though?

 

[Hugo87]

Thanks guys.

Hagen with bad luck 2 days in a row.

 

[ianstannard]

Is motopacing allowed in cycling?

 

[Netserk]

If Meersman catches that peloton, he should not be starting tommorrow.

Of course he should. Might be fined or relegated though.

 

[manafana]

the dreaded crash causes some major spilts again funny how simon and meersman have been left without help from their teams

 

[Pricey_sky]

Is motopacing allowed in cycling?

Not really, no. In this case a time penalty could be implied.

 

[Butterhead]

Of course he should. Might be fined or relegated though.

Heavily I hope. Real heavy.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Of course he should. Might be fined or relegated though.

"Might be."

If that's not the case, the rules are more flawed than I thought.

A bit of pacing is fair enough but that was just ridiculous.

 

[ianstannard]

Will Meersman be penalised?

 

[del1962]

Might get a time penalty

Meersman has nothing to lose

If he can't get back, the situation is the same.
If he get banned, then OPQS goes for Boonen
