Critérium du Dauphiné 2024, June 2 - 9

Strange how Visma at first seemed to have been lucky with the first pictures of Jorgenson, Kuss and Benoot not even involved in the crash, yet two of their riders are now being transported away.

 

[Rob5091]

Visma's bad year continues ...

 

[Netserk]

What is it with the Rabo Dutchies? If someone crashes in the vicinity of them, Gesink, Kelderman, Kruijswijk and Van Baarle will automatically break some bones ...

 

[Salvarani]

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

Would be a bit of the old guard "out".

Still Vinge, Jorgenson, Kuss, Benoot, Laporte, Tratnik... perhaps with the additions of Kelderman and maybe one of the Van Dijke brothers? Or possibly Van Aert added?

Still a pretty good team.

 

[Potomac]

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

Team UAE has invested heavily in voodoo dolls this season.
It's the only possible explanation.

Team UAE has invested heavily in voodoo dolls this season.
It's the only possible explanation.

Pollits, Ayuso and Wellens went down too. I'm really afraid of Pogacar. Wellens is always crashing too.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Team UAE has invested heavily in voodoo dolls this season.
It's the only possible explanation.

Or the devil has come to collect his debt after Plugge sold his riders' future health for a three GT season at the crossroads.

 

[Danskebjerge]

You can stop a race due to too few available ambulances, but you can’t cancel it due to wet roads.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I'm really afraid of Pogacar.

I‘m just gonna assume that this is no typo and Pogačar is holding your family hostage and forcing you to cheer for him.

 

[Netserk]

Official from the Race Radio:

The stage has been neutralised. There will be no stage winner.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Why hasnt Kuss been hit then....

Even the devil is afraid of getting ratioed on Twitter.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Why hasnt Kuss been hit then....

Because he‘s the devil…

 

[will-10]

Stage effectively cancelled

 

[AmRacer]

You can stop a race due to too few available ambulances, but you can’t cancel it due to wet roads.

Wet roads, that's like 50 percent of all races

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Le Berre and Bayer robbed

 

[Potomac]

good grief...lack of ambulances....

 

[Netserk]

Why hasnt Kuss been hit then....

He's popular even with the Devil. He's just such a nice guy.

 

[AmRacer]

What's the damage for R&R?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

He's popular even with the Devil. He's just such a nice guy.

He let the devil sit in the front seat. He's too good for this world.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I wonder if the participating communities get any kind of compensation in these cases?

 

[Tim Cahill]

This disaster of a season is all leading to Wilco finally getting his shot at the big time, it's the only way it can be redeemed.

 

[Alien Performance]

Why not just let the riders get into the cars and out of the rain if they're not going to race? Surely one can still crash when riding slowly in the rain to the finish line

 

[AmRacer]

When the favourites are down, @Froome is ready.

 

[tobydawq]

You can stop a race due to too few available ambulances, but you can’t cancel it due to wet roads.

Uh, yes, seems fairly obvious...

 

[Filippo_3467]

What's the damage for R&R?

Roglic looks completely ok. Remco is bleeding a bit in the knee area but it doesn't seem concerning.
