If I speak....

Oh God.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Doesn't change my point. I'm a fan of both so no mal intented.

But riders like Poggy, or MVP can ride 3 tour de france's in a row without falling, Roglic and Remco can't ride a one week race without going down.

This is true. Roglic is always falling. He should ride in front more often

 

[Netserk]

Washing my bike for an hour because nothing will happen. Getting messages of a big crash. What is this again.

Hopefully nobody hurt too much.

Already the previous descent was very dicey, and this one was even worse. In the left side, just touching the brake would have you instantly crash on a straight road.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Roglic and Remco are either really unlucky or bad bike handling skills or a combo of both.
Whenever something falls, they're there.

They are bad bike handlers as neither of them were originally cyclists

 

[Tim Cahill]

The immediate aftermath of crashes aren't the time to start attributing blame come on now.

 

[Alien Performance]

Remco looking okay

 

[Netserk]

Oh God.

The Giro was quite fortunate with the lack of crashes like this one.

Taking into account all the criteria and what we have seen so far, Roglic seems to me to be the top favorite for victory in the Dauphiné. A very strong TT. Not 100 % yet, but probably having the best shape of all the favorites. The TT of Ayuso confirmed that his illness last week certainly cost him strength. If he survives friday, he could still end on the podium. Jorgenson was impressive, but I don't think hat he will be able to parry all Roglic's attacks. At least those in the last few hundred meters. Evenepoel is at a good level (at least in TT), but has not yet the shape and the weight to be competitive in the long and steep climbs. Also because he is in climbing the least of the favorites. But considering none of the favorites/climbers are at 100 % yet, I don't think we will see important time differences. Unless for those having a breakdown (Evenepoel ? Gaudu ?)

 

[Salvarani]

Remco looks fine

 

[Berniece]

They are bad bike handlers as neither of them were originally cyclists

What's the excuse of all the other riders on the ground?

 

[Salvarani]

Oh God.

Yeah, I have no words about what I think you mean.

Mute point. You think MVDP or Pogi wouldn't go down if they were riding?
The riders that didn't went down this time were lucky to be at the back or at the front. No strong relation with bike handling skills (which are definitely important).

 

[Salvarani]

He means that this was again a proof of Pogacar being lucky.

I thought so.

 

[titan31]

Combaud's crash looks odd. His bike just went everywhere

 

[Netserk]

Evenepoel also hit on his right knee.

 

[tobydawq]

Will Meintjes win the stage like last time this happened?

 

[Salvarani]

Evenepoel also hit on his right knee.

A little scratch. Could have been worse.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

What's the excuse of all the other riders on the ground?

The original comment was why Remco and Rog crash so often.

 

[Alien Performance]

I don't see any reason why the rest of the race can't happen once everyone has been attended to unless there aren't enough ambulances. Just neutralise the GC and Pederson and Bennett sprint

 

[Potomac]

re start

 

[scribers]

What's the excuse of all the other riders on the ground?

Riding a race with bad bike handlers

 

[titan31]

Could be a bit of a disaster for Visma if Van Baarle and Kruijswijk are done for the Tour.

 

[tobydawq]

I did not speak.

I have already succesfully been censored

You know very well that your message was clear enough.

But yes, sure, let's hate Pogacar because of this crash, that seems like a natural course of action.

 

[Netserk]

Both Kruijswijk and Van Baarle are out of the race.

 

[Wvv]

Visma can't catch a break this year.
