2019 Tour de France, La Course & stage 13: Paauuu...

[Finn84]

Van Aert went too much inside.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

He literally rode into the fence

 

[TomLPC]

Real shame, he was lighting up the race too, looked really nasty

 

[JosephK]

Sad for Wout. TDF is done. Hope he's not hurt too bad.

 

[RedheadDane]

Oh... gosh… poor Van Aert…

 

[Simurgh]

De Gendt smashing this

 

[TourOfSardinia]

- 16s TDG (OMG)

Re: Re:

I honestly feel like De Gendt could get a top 5 GC result if he wanted to next year.

Yeah but that's the thing ... he doesn't want to.

Yeah and there is a good reason for it - he couldn't do top five. So he doesn't try.

 

[woodburn]

Will be surprising if Van Aert isn't seriously hurt. Really awkward fall. Hopefully nothing to bad.

exactly, when he podiumed on the giro a few years ago it was because he was party of that Stelvio break away.

if he was actually a GC rider they would never have let him go

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Was it his leg that hit the fence barriers?

Interesting. This time might have been within Van Aert's ability to exceed (on the faster part of the course). We'll never know.

De Ghent with an incredible time, I hope Van Aert is not seriously injured.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Kragh has lost throughout the TT, probably lost motivation with the intermediates.

 

[jaylew]

Sad about Wout but at least the crash didn't cost him the win. De Gendt really smashed it.

Re:

Looked like either leg or hip area, and then the other leg got dragged badly by momentum as he fell as he appeared to be caught in fence. Don't look good at all.

 

[spalco]

Gendt overtaking some random cycling tourist who got lost.

 

[Cinemaniak]

I think we definitely miss Froome, Roglic and Dumoulin here. It would be between the three of them.

 

[Pharazon]

wow... i didn't even know Kelderman was racing the tour

 

[jaylew]

I just saw "TIZ" on the road.

 

[staubsauger]

Who put the barriers that far into the rode, even with corner it looked as if they should've been placed closer to the trottoir!

Edith says they weren't, but maybe the opposite barriers should've been placed a bit wider to avoid such a narrow corner getting hit with full speed!

 

[Mayomaniac]

I expect rather small gaps between the gc guys.

And Dennis :lol:

 

[Kokoso]

Van Aert and Asgreen pulled some time back between 2nd 3rd split resp. finish. Wout might have been fastest.
