2016 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Pinerolo - Risoul (162 km MTF)

[Fight.The.Power]

OMG that was a massive off

 

[webvan]

WTF...looks ok, bike not so much...tough call for Nibali and Chavez, guess it's not a mechanical...

 

[Pantani_lives]

I Scarponi going to wait for Nibali?

 

[markene2]

I think he will feel that fall later, a nasty flip

 

[Kwibus]

Scarponi allready waiting.

Will Scarponi wait now?

 

[woodburn]

He is better off waiting for Valverde's group than trying to chase back solo.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Jesus, no. Not this way.

Why doesn't he increase his descending skill? You know, with iron supplements

 

[Climbing]

Looks like he's hurting... wasn't even a difficult corner...

 

[Pantani Attacks]

He's super lucky there's snow. Would have been on a stretcher to the hospital otherwise

 

[portugal11]

Valverde is behind SK?

 

[jsem94]

Scarponi waiting for Nibali now. You can also win races if your opponents fail to stay on their bikes apparently.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

It's not over for Steven. If he's picked up by the Valv group, he will limit his losses. Great drama

 

[SeriousSam]

A test of character, good, we wouldn't want straight sailing would we.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Kruijswijk is lucky to still be in the race. Huge crash and a big shame for him.

Hell no, you don't wait for someone because he can't bikehandle well. Its not a mechanical. But still think he is strong enough to win. Scarponi should be recalled though

 

[Eshnar]

ES commentators clueless as always

 

[hrotha]

Kruijswijk is already a bad descender as he is. A spooked and hurt Kruijswijk may well be a serious hazard.

Re:

Ill never see a Dutch guy winning a gt. **** this. Im out

I knew that you couldn't handle this situation.

I've been warning you that it could go wrong for over a week. You always get ahead of yourself regarding dutchies

 

[Pantani_lives]

Maybe K should wait for Valverde?

Obvious sour grapes are obvious.

Not really. Nibali was already on the attack.

Re:

Holy **** that's a brutal fall

To me it looked like the best possible way to crash there, most of the energy went into the motion, not the body.

Possibly it's not that much of a problem, the descend/flat os very long. Valverde and others might just escort him back before Risoul.

 

[Climbing]

Yeah he's lucky... without snow that would have a lot worse I guess.
PS: he doesn't need to panic anyway, just stay calm.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Michele has to wait
