Just happened during the TT recon. @chrisfroome crashed in Jerusalem! @giroditalia

Karma?

No, just the usual self.

 

[Salvarani]

I hope bo... Sitsou recovers well

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The race hasn't even started and Froome and Sioutsou fell already? Wow. Must be a difficult course then

 

[DNP-Old]

Superman crashed as well.

 

[Laplaz]

3 riders already crashed, expect carnage for this TT.

This does not bode well really.

Maybe some sand? But in the middle of the city?

Not even in Italy yet. What an insidious curse..........

Maybe the street sweepers are all on guard duty.........maybe just some dust on the corners.

Im not writing off Froome yet, despite his early vulnerable years he looked a lot more determined and mentally strong the last few years.

Looked like a nasty crash though, the way he limps.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Sure the riders would be more careful in the corners. Results may be quite surprising.

Froome's improved bike handling was 50% improvement and 50% showboating around actually. I'm not surprised! This ain't the TdF.

Dumo's odds have just crashed! Looks like a lot of predictions are gonna be out the window before the start. Hope it doesn't affect him too much otherwise this could be a boring race.

Why? Last year there was no sky train and more chaos and Dumoulin won even with a 2 min time loss due to poop break. It doesn't mean much if sky train is not there

any news on superman?

Re:

I think he meant that the odds are no longer very interesting if you put money on Dumoulin.
What im trying to say is that the bookies give Dumoulin a bigger chance of winning after the Froome crash.

Nothing too serious. Just a few grazes.

I don't think I've ever seen a rider after a crash walking like froome in that video despite being fine. It sucks but I fear he is out
