Giro d'Italia 2021 Giro d'Italia, Stage 6: Grotte di Frasassi – Ascoli Piceno (S.Giacomo) 160 km

[Zinoviev Letter]

If I was driving a team car in the Giro d’Italia, I would simply not drive over the cyclists...

Serry got the Hoogerland treatment.

Luckily there wasn't any barbed wire nearby..

 

[glassmoon]

Bennet done

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

tbf they were exchanging something with the lead car...so they were going the same speed.

 

[saunaking]

that is the fault of the race director

How so? This is normal operating procedure in all bike races
This is all on the UCI
Of course it was going to happen
It will happen again

 

[Red Rick]

Bennet loving his national kit so much he's socially distancing from the pink by as much as possible

 

[Scarponi]

Tbh with 200 riders on the road all over the place, 50 cars and motobikes and 3-6 hour drives in surprised it doesn’t happen more often. With all the riders dropping back it would be hard to navigate

 

[Bonimenier]

Ganna already done?! Pathetic!

 

[sir fly]

It was Dean who hit Serry, I think.
Very unfortunate. Being a rider himself, I'm sure he's more than sorry.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Thank you, Filippo!

 

[Netserk]

When it gets steep with 5 km to go, I think Moscon will launch a proper Ineos assault.

 

[sir fly]

Kiwis paying for the accident...

 

[dulais_valley]

Chapeau Ganna!

You make it sound easy. Clearly it isn't!

 

[Red Rick]

he needs a few years in prison

Calm down Lefevre

He probably thought it was Renshaw.

Fitting that Ganna stopped riding right when Motoric was brought back.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

TGBM !

When flying a plane the priority is aviate, navigate, communicate. Same thing goes when driving a car. First priority is looking where you are going. 100% fault of the BE driver.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Castro not good enough.

 

[JosefK]

I wonder if Bennett is sick. Normally, one would have expected him not to lose much time in the 1st week of the Giro.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ganna gone, Bennett back.

No doubt, but it's still unforgivable. Protecting the riders is job #1 for any driver in the race.

Matt Keenan said in commentary that it was Gene Bates.

Consider yourself hired and starting tomorrow.

First priority for any driver is keep your eyes on the road. He needs to go back to driving school
