Giving him help there at the spot is as awkward as the crash itself.

Trust me, with a complex knee injury (like a dislocation and an open wound) you can't just be lifted in the ambulance car without some pre-care on the spot. I tested that.

Fabian Wegmann on Dennis: "Dennis is known to be crazy and he just showed his bad character again. What he did is just unacceptable." Pretty harsh comment but if it was just a reaction to supposedly bad equipment, he is not unright.

Anybody had the intermediate on Wout? Could he have beaten DeGendt?
Apparently he was +8 seconds on De Gendt again, according to the latest information

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.
He would have needed to go at least 8 seconds faster than anyone else has gone on the 4th/last section which seems pretty unlikely since he wasn't fastest on any of the previous sections

On ARD they said he had surpassed De Gendt already.

he was +11 at the 3rd time check which was 5 seconds faster than the 2nd check so he was gaining...

he might have pipped him

Faster than De Gendt?

Van Aert
1: +00.05
2: +00.16
3: +00.11
finish: ?

Asgreen
1: +00.22
2: +00.30
3: +00.19
finish: +00.16

I don't think the development was pointing WVA's way. De Gendt finished fast, losing only 3s to Asgreen, who I really doubt Van Aert would have beaten on that last section.

I have a feeling Thomas will destroy everyone. And the TT suits Alaphilippe too.
Don't think De Gendt will win, so don't think WVA wouldve won if he wouldve been faster than De Gendt.

Yeah, I phrased it the wrong way around. My mistake!

unfortunately has to abandon the race after his crash. He is conscious and has a flesh wound at his right upper leg.

There's always a chance but it's unlikely he was going to make up 11 seconds the last 5k

He pulled back 5 seconds on 6.4 kms, he'd have to pull back another 11 seconds on 6.1 kms. I think that's perfectly possible.

Crashes on TT bikes always seem really bad to me. I know the couple I've had were my worst crashes.

Now that IS an answer :)
O ***, I really hope Julian or Thomas surpasses DeGendt then. Would be horrible if Wout crashed out and would have won.

This ITT feels a bit whack with Dennis and Wout out.

Schachmann finishes under pain and 5s later ARD interviews him :rolleyes:
But interestingely enough, he didn't mention shoulder pain but pain in the arm.
