2019 Tour de France, stage 1: Bruxelles > Brussel, 194,5 km

[Jagartrott]

I wonder if the rolling terrain will sap the legs of some of the sprinters. I can't judge how calm this stage has been (or not).

FUGLSANG DOWN

Re: Re:

Odd all the DQ riders rode back to the peloton without Viviani

They were saving Mas.

Miquided ....Vivani can win more stages while Mas GC ????

DQ having lots of mechanical

Mas' GC would be destroyed if the front group went home alone, Viviani will have plenty of opportunities.

The point still stands ...Yellow and a stage for Vivani will be worth more than a anything MAS can do
Plus Mas would not be destroyed by staying by himself in front goroup

No, it doesn't. Mas had been dropped, and yes he can do more important things than Viviani in this Tour.

Fuglsang starting the Tour with the wrong foot.
Let's see if this doesn't affect him for tomorrow

 

[Sestriere]

Did Fuglsang have blood on the head?

 

[Salvarani]

Shoulder, elbow and eyebrow was bleeding

 

[RedheadDane]

Bird down...

 

[Salvarani]

Trouble following the wheel of his teammates

 

[Simurgh]

Re:

His face is bloodied too

 

[46&twoWheels]

holy ***
he's blooding severely. Part of me (the medical side) says he should stop immediately

xxx this is supposed to be THE fuglsang's tour

 

[KZD]

Forget fomorrow, I think he will lose time today and his shoulder seems affected.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pell/Bilbao should get back in the group

 

[spalco]

Ooh, pretty stressful for Astana to catch up here, tempo must be high.

When exactly did a favorite crashing on stage one become a tdf tradition?

 

[Danskebjerge]

How many times has Fuglsang crashed in his Tour career? Ten?

So unfortunate for Jakob. With those injuries, GC is over.

14k @40sec behind

Probably a bit premature there.

 

[46&twoWheels]

I hope it just was a minor cut in a "bad" point of his face/head. I can't see if he managed to stop the flow.

 

[tobydawq]

Probably just an eyebrow. Luckily, he doesn't pedal with that.

Re:

He's hurt his right knee which is causing him problems.

 

[spalco]

Took them a while to catch up with the peloton, wasn't a sure thing imo.

He looks fine. Probably just a bit groggy if he has hurt his head. Pedalling fine, being able to stand up. Let's see after the stage.

yeah, that's surely the biggest concern, long term.
