Giro d'Italia 2023 Giro d'Italia, Stage 5: Atripalda - Salerno 171 km (Wednesday, May 10th)

Remco crashes because of a dog, takes a while to get back up -> diva, why isn't he hated more?

I don't think he really needs much more hate with those kind of reactions to a guy falling and possibly panicking a bit to see his big season goal which he worked months for possibly seeing going up in smoke.

My god.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Now I know why they're saying Remco is an ex-footballer. Jeez Diva

I swear this kid would be hated by every Belgian cycling fan if he wasn't Belgian.

Considering i have been banned for actually nothing, the only thing i will say is: lol.

 

[groogster]

Chill out guys! Evenepoel likes to build up the drama. I’m sure that he wanted to put up a show for the live coverage 😎

 

[red_flanders]

guy crashes and stays down for a bit. why doesn't every rider get this sort of hate?

Actual talent triggers some folks.

 

[Samamba]

I ain't seeing the mobs go after Mathieu, who, in fact, is not Belgian.

Brother have you ever been to a cross in Belgium lol.

Though he does look and sound like one.

Well this definitely plays a part on why certain Belgians do like him. He's basically Belgian, The only Dutch thing about him is his passport and his dad.

 

[Poursuivant]

Such a shame

Brother have you ever been to a cross in Belgium lol.

The cross is about the last place I would find representative of anything. They throw beer and piss to everyone that doesn't wear the Belgian flag, even kind Stybar wasn't safe. Lord, not even Sven Nys got to run free.

There is this video on twitter that shows how all began, but Remco crash is out of the screen

 

[SafeBet]

Now shows the thumb up....let's hope this crash doesn't affect this Giro...However stupid who goes to see a bike race with a dog not on the leash

Could be a stray dog, there are many in the South.

how is he a diva? in soccer they flop in order to get a penalty. He's just sitting there pissed

 

[saunaking]

Tiberi would take care of the dog before it did any damage

ban incoming!!

 

[Netserk]

Watching the replay from the helicopter where we see Ballerini crash, I really don't understand how Bambi managed to crash. From what we could see he wasn't touched by any of the other riders who crashed. Did he just slam the brakes?!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ban the South!
To the East!

 

[Bonimenier]

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).

And he did the same in Lombardia 2020 as well! A real cyclist would have finished that race!

 

[Nick2413]

how is he a diva? He's just sitting there pissed

He could certainly have an injury, but if it really is as you say, that’s indeed diva behavior.

 

[KZD]

I have never liked dogs, annoying creature.

Just hope that there is everything ok with Remco and the other rider who crashed

 

[Bolder]

Diva knew, everybody would be waiting for him. Others don't have that luxury.

Every patron is accorded this privilege. If Pog had crashed it would be the same. I'm not Remco's biggest fan but he's earned it. You're building a straw man here.

 

[Potomac]

Will Remco give back the time he took on others when they got caught behind a crash?

 

[yaco]

Some write that they want rainy conditions to spice up a race - Unfortunately, these conditions often lead to boring racing.

 

[Lequack]

Where are the days where the break would et 10 minutes?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

ban incoming!!

Do you think I'm going to get banned for that? Maybe I should delete, I don't want a ban during il Giro. But it was a just a joke ?

 

[Tour de Berghem]

The exact place of the crash, it is a high slope descent. So the speed was not low...

[yaco]

of course the weather is horrible and that's why there is a truce in the peleton but honestly it sucks and is a petty. It shows that many teams are here just to be happy to losse out with anything on there side most days. Sometimes you have to take risks. I think a pink jersey could be up for grabs and a stage win.

Nah - You are one of many who believe that rainy conditions provide for a better race, however it actually often diminishes the race.
