Wout's had some bad luck before, but the universe is getting downright ridiculous now.
And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.
Four letter word.I hope Wout can find the confidence he'll need to take it up against Mathieu coming Sunday.
Yeah looks like they came around the corner and some didn't see the gutter.It's around here:

You see there is a gutter between the road and the bicycle path. The group took the whole width of the road and those that ride in that gutter can easily lose balance.
And potentially a sprint in MSR for the win.And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.

And Strade + Sanremo. I said it here after his CX season, why everything on 2 races. 1 crash and you have nothing.And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.
It wasn't the wind but someone losing their balance in the gutter.
MVDP had basically two lost seasons due to crash-related back injuries.I sometimes unironically think it gets overlooked how unlucky van Aert and how not unlucky MvdP have been when comparing the two... Thats not to say I dont think vdP has the edge in the classics in my mind he absolutely does, but still
Not sure what happened, but you can see the uneven surface, and Wout's bike upended and him on the ground.

He should have 2 world tour wins minimum already this season, the entire management team needs to be sacked, expect Harry Maguire and Scott Mctominay to be lining up in the classics next season.The race programme of josh tarling by Ineos might be one of the worst of all time
He's already on the ground there.That's not Wout, it's not a Red Bull helmet.
I have a hope its 'only' hard bruises and he will take the start on Sunday, but in any case, I dont think he will be super competitive even with best case scenario in mind.I wonder whether the Giro is now in question for Wout. Tough day. Sad for the sport.
He is just 20 though. Skipping most of the cobbles, focusing on this one and PR as he is listed to do seems pretty smart way to ease him into it. Not burn him out.The race programme of josh tarling by Ineos might be one of the worst of all time
