2016 Giro d'Italia - Stage 7 Sulmona – Foligno 211 km

Re:

Kruijswijk also in the second group according to Dutch media.

They corrected that saying he was in the first group, they later also said the full current top 10 was in the first peloton.

the two pelotons are back together

Matteo Pelucchi and Larry Warbasse were apparently non-starters today. Pelucchi because of yesterday's time limit (a question of time, really, no way he was gonna make it to the end) and Warbasse because of back pain.

So it was an inverted version of L'Aquila 2010. The GC riders decided not to race, but today they were at the front
Oh, well... we'll wait for tomorrow's Strade Marrone

Was Pelucchi ill? I've noticed he's always a contender for red lanterns but still, he was a lot of time behind on the bus and I think Brändle would have "saved" him if it was worth it.

Haven't read anything about illness. He's always been an abysmal climber, and this season he's been worse than ever. Don't know why IAM didn't send him to Picardie or something instead. This was always going to be too tough in his current shape.

So... should we be worried for Capecchi today?

 

[Samamba]

Again problems with the broadcasting.

 

[wirral]

Did everybody start again today?

 

[Guybrush]

break on a short leash, Lotto and FDJ riding

 

[LaFlorecita]

Movistar rider down! J. Moreno. Looks like a bad crash but he's moving.

 

[Samamba]

Javier Moreno abandon

 

[johnymax]

Broken collarbone for Moreno. They said so on Rai.

 

[RedheadDane]

Not looking good for J. Moreno.

Danish commentators were talking about potential injuries to his spine...

 

[Choppy Warburton]

F

Collarbone, looked worse so good news there.

Just noticed post above, just to clarify Hatch on ES claimed the Movi Doc had stated was a collarbone, best wait for more news to confirm per that Danish report.

 

[Laplaz]

Is Kittel still in the peloton?

 

[RedheadDane]

No actual Danish report either. Just speculation from what they (we) saw.
They were noticing that the doctors seemed to be very careful not to move him around too much, and that he later seemingly was told not to move his legs around.
But of course it might have been a case of initially being very careful, until they found out that there weren't any serious injuries.

Re:

Eurosport confirmed it was a just broken collarbone, but had been tied down on a stretcher as a precaution.

When I was small I got the VIP treatment from paramedics when I said my back hurt after crashing while skiing. It just hurt like everything else on my body- achy-, but I didn't realize the kind of panic/precautions saying "my back hurts" would cause.

Yep, scary watching, particularly with one road shoe lying a couple of meters away.

Waterfall switched on for the Giro

 

[Taxus4a]

This stage is quite windy and some people is going to waste much energy...

I think Lotto will drop Kittel in the climb, and it will be a nice final with Ettix traying to chase...with risk of echelons...

climb now on, let's see.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

cunego going for it - need to catch the break to get gpm points

 

[Taxus4a]

They are with tail wind, sometimes crosswind.. it is important to be on the front.. Boswell has puntured and he is an important man for Landa in this final...

Cunego has no time to catch, I think is just publicity...
