I saw a nice move from sky... Majka deserved that!!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ouch faceplant by Wilco. Kelly says it was caused his tubular coming off the rim.

Oh come on. It isn't bad luck anymore if you crash in every race you're participating. Talking about Kelderman ofc. He needs to go back to the basics and race with training wheels.

Not sure it's luck. With a couple of exceptions, they do seem to be pretty awful bike handlers.

 

[Jelantik]

close call for contador .. again..

 

[l.Harm]

Didn't look like he could have done much to avoid it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Wilco

 

[huangho]

That had nothing to do with bike handling. Not much you can do when your tubular comes off like that

Nothing Wilco could've done there though. His tub came off the rim.

It looked to be like the wheel collapsed causing the crash.

 

[Carols]

First time Alberto has some luck in this race, he was right behind Wilco crash and had to unclip to get around.

It was clearly a mechanical

 

[Velolover2]

Could have been a good stage for Wilco to attack.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Seems like the tyre was already gone.. Pretty bad. Hope Kelderman just let's go now and focus on stages.

Of course there is. And it generally only comes off in the first place if you're body position, approach to the corner etc. is all wrong. Kelderman's one of the worst bike handlers in the peloton.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Kelderman is very unlucky to have his tubular come off, but was also lucky it happened on a very slow corner.
