Tinkoff Saxo say they're treating Contador's injuries with ice as a precaution, and will assess again in the morning. Maybe not too bad?

Re:
He can forget about the Tour then. If the injury is bad, the Giro is over. If the injury isn't that bad, where he's still having a good chance to win the Giro but a much worse chance than he had before today (60%), I think it might be wise to abandon and go for the Tour.Moose McKnuckles said:

Then it's over right? I can't imagine climbing out of the saddle with a dislocated shoulder would work well.
Re: Re:
People want to see him fighting for the victory, not struggling in the back of the peloton. I think even Contador agrees with that.
Yeah, if he is at 60%.. he should't continue.SeriousSam said:

Re:
Hope the icing and the care give alberto a rest through a night that will be so hard for him and his team
heart full of rage at the stupidity of some fans. My sympathy for Alberto and the others who crashed today in such a fashion.. my hope organizers will modify things so GC competitors do not have to be in the mixt of such a finish someday.. My finger's crossed that Alberto will be good to ride tomorrow.. I am waiting here (stage 9) rode the course and found the best place to see them climb the hill in Grottalilla when they pass on Sunday..Carols said:Holy F*ck&&&& I never swear..... But I just came home and watched the final 5km of the race.....I can't believe this. Crappy, boring fr*ggin sprint stages and all their crashes. This Totally Sucks!!!! He looked like he was going to cry on the podium.

Let's hope he is ok, there are so many conflicted reports around. Let's just wait until the morning when we should know more.
If it's just a dislocated shoulder they can just pop it back in and, provided they take care of it, he will be able to ride tomorrow.
Re:
depends on how it happened, but indeed, a I've had a "straightforward" dislocated shoulder. Pop it back in, it will be sore as hell, but he could in theory do this. ofc, the amount of time he use out of the saddle will make this a bigger disadvantage for him than say Kloden

Re: Re:
Yeah this. Cycling have to be one of the few sports where peoples idiocracy (and boy is that big) actively can ruin a spectacle just to please the ego. Whatever needs to be done have to be done to overcome this. Lock them in cages or behind a electronic fence the last kilometers or whatever. I dont want to see these monkeys on the road again.
