Kokoso said:Van Aert and Asgreen pulled some time back between 2nd 3rd split resp. finish. Wout might have been fastest.
It was his kneeCance > TheRest said:Was it his leg that hit the fence barriers?
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.Pharazon said:Kokoso said:Yeah and there is a good reason for it - he couldn't do top five. So he doesn't try.Valanga said:scapewalker said: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.
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
Leclercq immediately suspected serious gashs. With the covering it certainly looked as if he potentially cut arteries and they had to stop the bleeding!silvergrenade said:Tricycle Rider said:Damn, I was so excited to see how Van Aernt would do in the Tour, hope it's not too awful.
Reports coming in that Wout van Aert has suffered a gash along the thigh.
So no broken bones apparently

Cinemaniak said:So what happens to Van Aert? If he's physically able to continue tomorrow, does he get some kind of standard time?
D'oh, I should at least learn how to spell his name!silvergrenade said:Tricycle Rider said:Damn, I was so excited to see how Van Aernt would do in the Tour, hope it's not too awful.

You're joking, right?Cinemaniak said:So what happens to Van Aert? If he's physically able to continue tomorrow, does he get some kind of standard time?
He can't continue.Cinemaniak said:So what happens to Van Aert? If he's physically able to continue tomorrow, does he get some kind of standard time?
Er, no, you have to ride the whole course. Unless you're Chris Froome, then you can run part of it.Cinemaniak said:So what happens to Van Aert? If he's physically able to continue tomorrow, does he get some kind of standard time?
