2014 Vuelta al País Vasco, Stage 4: Vitoria-Gasteiz → Arrate (Eibar), 151 km

After all of his attacks I'm surprised Contador didn't lose more than 2 seconds to Valverde.

Great win for Poels. Perfectly timed.

Poels victory salute, with Samu and Valverde for a few seconds.

Steppers are still hot, at least in the Basque Country.

Feeling very happy for Poels.
Feeling rather sorry for small dutch girl left in her vest and pants while dad uses her dress as an impromptu flag on finish line.

Poels got back on his bike and managed to ride 10km from the scene of the crash before abandoning. He was diagnosed with a ruptured spleen and kidney, as well as three broken ribs and bruised lungs and would later be transferred to a Maastricht intensive care unit.


makes you think, charged or not, les forcats de la route are an inspiration to me and they deserve all the respect and money.
i think i would have been dead 3 times with his injures, forget about any comeback

Oh wow and he still got on his bike with all those injuries and rode 10km...
The more I think about it the happier I get for Poels.

That was a quality win. He was so strong on the last climb.
