Tour de France 2023 Tour de France, Stage 1: Bilbao - Bilbao, 182 km (Spain, Saturday, July 1)

EF will have to go to Plan B.

Yeah, that's standard practice when you've had an accidental discharge!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mas now set to finish 2nd in the Vuelta again.

Better for him to ride the Tour.

FFS. Oh well.

 

[HelloDolly]

Movistar dont have a plan B ?

 

[Movitrain]

Ugh, absolutely devastating. You look forward to the TdF for a while and the one guy you're subjectively cheering for crashes out after a mere couple of hours. I hope he is well. Less important right now, but I believe this years TdF was the best chance for a podium finish that he ever had or will ever have. What a shame.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Mas confirmed to abandon☹️

Movistar dont have a plan B ?

[Lequack]

Get well Mas and hopefully see you in the Vuelta!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Yeah he looks sore

He's trying, but it's not looking hopeful.

 

[postmanhat]

Hopefully Carapaz can better last year's Vuelta, and get four stages to compensate.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Yeah, that's standard practice when you've had an accidental discharge!

Uran or Powless?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Cashes such as the one with Mas is one of the main reasons why I think it's wrong for a rider to focus on only one or two races in the season.

 

[StryderHells]

He's trying, but it's not looking hopeful.

It’s a pity as I quite like watching Carapaz as a rider
