2022 Vuelta a Burgos (2/8 - 6/8)

[BR2]

Wait a minute they actually cheered?? Naaa...


Speedbump is disgusting tho. Who thinks of those things, seriously. How did this get cleered by the UCI?

And then these barriers again... there are things that just can't be dealt with without ruining the sport, but then there are others that are just not done because of money, and that is sick. A race that cannot be safely done because of financial reasons shouldn't exist.

They looked behind and saw what was basically something out of final destination, what the hell are they doing celebrating

Yeah, it really is quite mind-boggling. They even seemed to be sprinting against each other.

One of the worst crashes I’ve saw !! Just wanted to know who is the genius that decided that we should have a street bump in the last final km

Apparently it is also against UCI regulations.

Those two guys that put up their arms should be ashamed.

Respect to harper for not celebrating

 

[ontheroad]

That was a bad look for the organisers with the speed bump and a bad look forJumbo celebrating. The crash didn't look good initially and fingers crossed everyone is ok but the outcome could have been a whole lot worse.

There's no way they knew what went on behind them.

 

[BR2]

I'm glad the commentators talk truth about it. Sean Kelly, isn't it?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I am looking at riders caught up badly in the crash and it's so difficult to differentiate Eolo and Astana kits.

He might have seen more of the crash maybe.

It was their own teammate that went down first I believe?

If one guy in your wheel crashes you can hear it. If the whole peloton crashed you can definately hear it. Also they though they were so strong that no one could overtake them? They weren't even their teams sprinter.

I agree they are excellent right now.

Dekker lost control going over the speedbump, and crashed.

Whichever Jumbo rider was behind him did an amazing bit of bikehandling to not crash himself. Unfortunately the other riders had nowhere to go

Well, I guess they didn't know how bad the crash behind them was, and in like 25% of sprints some crash happens that takes down quite a few riders. Roosen didn't look happy on the podium. It was a bad look them celebrating like that, but I don't think they really realized what had happened by then.

 

[BR2]

No.

okay... guess I'll never learn

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So glad UCI banned puppy paws though!

Yeah they were so dangerous and caused really bad crashes...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Zorro mark on Ballerini's behind didn't look good. Ouch!

 

[F_Cance]

affini looking behind at the crash and still celebrating. Super classy

 

[Kazistuta]

So Jumbo-Visma initating a major crash in two different races in only five minutes....

 

[sir fly]

okay... guess I'll never learn

Any information anywhere?

They didn't even had the proper road sign for the steward to show
