looks to me it was Gilbert that went down first, in front of the orange jacket?

Nah, Gilbert was just behind him. An orange rider did hit the barricade first causing Gilbert to crash as well.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gilbert almost back into the pack
(say the RAI)

Gilbert in a large chase group with Remco, Dion Smith, Oliveira, Dillier, Dlamini and others.

Aussies looking out for Chaves

We have a fantastic guest in Eurosport studio here.
What's fantastic about him is that he vividly remembers even championships between World wars.
He's 97!

 

[The Hegelian]

Would have been nice to see Remco Eddy spend his bickies nearer the business end of the race......

 

[Akuryo]

I tune in and the first thing I hear is Kirby saying "Simon Clarke with a good outside chance today" ... you cant make this stuff up. By now its actually hilarious how often Kirby mentions Clarke as a favorite for basically any race of the year.

 

[Velolover2]

no, Gilbert veered to the right, and crashed in front of orange.

Really? If that's the case.. then hmm.

 

[Velolover2]

Roglic DNF.

Yeah, I love Sean Kelly.

 

[Avoriaz]

So the big guys went into the break just to show their face before climbing off on the first circuit?

 

[Leinster]

Was that right that there's still over 100 riders in the peloton through the finish line? Surely a smaller group than that.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel bringing the second group back.

Yep. A sensible plan for a high profile rider with no real chance to win.

 

[Salvarani]

Brutal race

 

[spalco]

I have no clue what's going on. Kind of absurd to have coverage like this for arguably the biggest race of the year.

 

[Singularitarian]

is it Cavagna vs. Remco track pursuit?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

It looks like a big group. The French have it lined out nw though so it should erode quickly

 

[Leinster]

Carlton wants to put Remco on gear restriction...

Agree, but what can man do against nature, roaring?
