Deceuninck once again messing with Almeida's ambitions not letting him fight for the top-15 of the stage. What a disgraceful team.

Ouch. Almeida on the offense.
If that should have been the case, that Evenepoel just had an off-day, I could even understand Almeida. He didn't get any help on his off-day... so if it was not a specific problem with the gravel (although it looked like one to me), it's quite tough to still support Evenepoel and giving up Almeida completely.
I would have expected Quickstep to play it better.

Almeida taking after an a certain Portugese legend

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Gino Mäder bandaged up and also struggling at the back with Soler and Dowsett. Guess his last place yesterday was down to a crash

I don't know. Is Quick Step interested in a low rank top-10?

Remco right now has the chance to fight for a podium. If he cracks, I think Quick Step rather wants to Almeida to be some time away and go for stage wins rather than a 8th or 9th place no one cares about.

Good action to form the breakaway. Unfortunately, Soler looks done.

[wheresmybrakes]

Hope he hasn't been run over by the motorbike, not good.

 

[BlueRoads]

Looks terrible. and the medical cars gone?

 

[topcat]

de Marchi, looks bad

 

[wheresmybrakes]

De Marchi

 

[Rollthedice]

F***, looks bad.

 

[bambino]

De Marchi. It looks really bad. Praying he is OK.

 

[MrTea1976]

De Marchi

 

[Mayomaniac]

That looks bad, I hope De Marchi is ok.
I see Ulissi, Mollema and Bettiol in the front group, also Tesfatsion.

 

[BlueRoads]

I didn't see it, did he crash on the descent? Was there an accident with a moto or car?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Will we ever reach the day that the RAI doesn't feel the need to film riders bring transferred to an ambulance?

Hope De Marchi is (relatively) ok.

No view of the actual crash. He is just lying there at the side of the road.

 

[ppanther92]

Not able to watch yet - De Marchi crashed and Soler collapsing? Can someone explain in a bit more detail what happened? Soler looked not too bad yesterday.

 

[BlueRoads]

No view of the actual crash. He is just lying there at the side of the road.

Thanks. Really hope he's kind of okay.

 

[dampframme]

Soler crashed too at the beginning.

 

[ppanther92]

I like that Serry is in the group though. Remco must feel the need to bounce back.

 

[ppanther92]

Soler crashed too at the beginning.

Ok, thanks. Thats a shame...

 

[Mayomaniac]

According to RAI Goosens also crashed with De Marchi, but he was able to get back on his bike.
