He was coasting along

Take a rest day.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Damn, I was so excited to see how Van Aert would do in the Tour, hope the injuries aren't too awful.

Reports coming in that Wout van Aert has suffered a gash along the thigh.
So no broken bones apparently

Re:

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

Yeah, I think that might have happened. But someone at the back end may massacre everyone (G?). We'll see.

Re:

Was it his leg that hit the fence barriers?

It was his knee
apparently

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.

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

He was 8th before the stage, and it was the second last stage, the people being bumped down a spot in the top 10, and the 3rd spot on the podium had plenty of reason to reign him in, especially knowing the final stage was a TT.

Terrible luck for Van Aert.
Giving him help there at the spot is as awkward as the crash itself.
I hope it's far less bad than it looks at the moment.

Sagan

Pretty fast time for a dude who's chilling

Leclercq immediately suspected serious gashs. With the covering it certainly looked as if he potentially cut arteries and they had to stop the bleeding!

Hopefully it's not that seriously and just looked that worrying!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Lol, - Sagan.

 

[Samamba]

Schachmann can come close

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

van Aert underway to the hospital, large cut in his upper leg, no broken bones (probably)

? he was 8th, co count with me...without the break hoe would have ended 7th.

 

[JosephK]

Sagan doing a wheelie on course. :lol:

 

[Cinemaniak]

So what happens to Van Aert? If he's physically able to continue tomorrow, does he get some kind of standard time?

How do you know? Maybe he isn't actaully chilling that much

 

[Valanga]

Re:

No, he's out.

D'oh, I should at least learn how to spell his name!

This kid looks very promising, I'd like to see some talented youngsters in the peloton. Hope for the best for him.

Re:

You're joking, right?

 

[Yingge]

No - DNF. And at the very least his thigh will have a big zipper (stitches) in it I suspect.

Re:

He can't continue.
He had to cross the line with the bike in order to compete the next day.

Er, no, you have to ride the whole course. Unless you're Chris Froome, then you can run part of it.
