Funny -- riders filling in Pinot on what's going on. All laughing about it, although I'm sure Remco isn't...
Well, Pantani crashed in 1997 on the descent of the Valico di Chiunzi because of a cat
Tiberi would take care of the dog before it did any damage
The Valico di Chiunzi is coming up tomorrow so Remco needs to watch out there!
you just know that if it was geraint instead of remco, he would have broken something.
guy crashes and stays down for a bit. why doesn't every rider get this sort of hate?
Kelderman would be out for 9 months
Why are you assuming I wouldn't say the same thing about any other rider that stays down 5 minutes straight sitting on his ass when there is close to zero damage? Dude was acting like the ref blow his wistle and the game stopped. Cyclists usually get up immediately (see Ballerini or the other QSs that crashed).
Why do you assume that in that moment he doesn't have harsh pain ??
You saw his crash then? You saw how hard he went down, what he hit, how bad it was? No, none of us did.
Weird comparison as I have never see Mathieu doing this, but no I don't like everything Mathieu does either.
Oh come on, obviously he wans't in a lot of pain. Probably a bit of panic yes, but still. Never seen anyone else just chill like that while he's a leader in a team.
Yes that's fair
If you have no information on how hard he crashed, it's best to just say nothing. Ballerini skidded on a wet surface, Evenepoel may have crashed at lower speed but harder.
The crash was not showed on TV from what I know. So how you can assume it was not hard ? On RAI they are saying he hit hjs knee. Also Yates one year ago crash, hit the knee and then ride again, but then had problems in that Giro.
LOL.
Like 5 years ago, no idea where or when it was. And you're acting like I'm a VdP fanboy.
Yes I am indeed assuming he's fine based how he is just chilling on his bike right now, and also right after he stood up.
The point I was making btw wasn't that he definitely wasn't in any pain, it was that he didn't seem to even have the intention to stand up while normally cyclists, definitely leaders, immediately stand up as long as they're not feeling completely battered, and then they don't just continue lilke that afterwards.
I will stop commenting on it now.
This was Nokere Koerse, when he had nothing but a minor scratch. He won Denain like two days later with a huge solo, lol. But fear not, there are plenty of examples. Mathieu is notorious for floor laying.
That being said, I did not say or imply you are a Mathieu fanboy. You did, however, state that Remco would be hated by every Belgian cycling fan if he wasn't Belgian. I ain't seeing the mobs go after Mathieu, who, in fact, is not Belgian. Though he does look and sound like one.

Vanmarcke would be out for 9 months, return just in time for Omloop and then break his thumb signing the start sheet.
There is this video on twitter that shows how all began, but Remco crash is out of the screen
