I don't post that much...

Low quantity high quality type of guy?

Ok Remco blabla, the real question. How is Geraint Thomas avoiding these crashes?????

I didnt watch the stage, but from the 30 seconds video posted on this page, this seems entirely on Remco. Its beyond me how you can blame anyone else?

I'll give 10% to the Trek rider. But, well, happens. Just own it, don't spend the next 3km waving your hands and pointing fingers at others.

That's what my wife says.

 

[how yes no?]

I think more should be said about SQS and Ineos going to the front and clearly not waiting for Roglič and the pink jersey, than the actual crashes.

IMO people give Remco a hard time, of course you're gonna act up a bit in the heat of the moment. If he still claims someone else made him crash after re-watching it, then it's different, but people just get annoyed and yell at eachother in the heat of the moment in stessful situations, there's usually little malice involved.

That's a genuinely spectacular photo. It will go down in history I hope

The last time seemingly every GC rider was losing time to mechanicals and crashes in the early flat stages while he somehow stayed out of it was... the 2018 Tour. Would be hilarious if this Giro goes the same way after all the hype for the Evenepoel-Roglic duel on the one hand, and for ever-younger riders on the other.

It's like an epic tale in a picture

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Does anyone have updates on rider who crashed? Everyone is OK?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Valerio Conti DNS today, he suffered a pelvis fracture yesterday. With him out of the race and Tivani not riding the Giro Corratec are really a CT-level team...

Meanwhile still only the Top10 on PCS

Yeah, I think they have a job dealing with the crash that slowed Roglic, and who made it back before the Remco incident.

Remco did a mistake and will learn. If remco was looking at the front, the trek rider is not going to hit him. Just few days ago remco was very angry about another crash caused in similar circumstances to today . He learn a lot this first week of the Giro.

Remco will learn...The question is, will Logic learn?

He finally seems to have found the famous plot armor

The salient point to anyone who actually understands logic.

Anyone who understands logic would read everything. As i said, the Trek rider travels sideways harder and faster.

These statements are demonstrably false. Only someone blinded by fandom would make such an illogical assessment.

Here is how demonstrably false they are:

Valerio Conti DNS today, he suffered a pelvis fracture yesterday. With him out of the race and Tivani not riding the Giro Corratec are really a CT-level team...

but Dalla Valla came 6th today. So they've got one somewhat decent result in the bag, at least.

Here is how demonstrably false they are:

The Trek rider was looking where he was going...Infantapoel was not. He was looking in the opposite directon when he started his move, and your picture does not represent that reality.
