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.

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 😎

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

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?!

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!

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

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

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.
