Look at around 24 secs.

Like Britney Spears would say: "Oops I did it again."

That was right after he flatted. Bloody hell every single rider in the bunch drafts behind his teamcar after a flat.

More importantly it was about what happened after he was a minute behind the bunch with 10k to go, but still manged to reach the bunch with 2k to go.
As a dutch fan I don't really want to know, but there isnt much evidence what happened there, but he no doubt got some help.

dumoulin announced himself today at least after some very solid time trial results, also the shorter ones are just as good for him as longer efforts like in the tour he has a great future ahead.

Indeed. Just 23 and consistently the best in TT's right after der Panzerwagen. I hope that he challenges Tony the next years.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

159km to go, gap 3 minutes

Vanbilsen (TSV), Veuchelen (WGG)

It is important to wear a helmet and wear it right, specialy the kids.

omg In the Netherlands nobody wears a helmet for regular bike riding. Not dangerous at all.

There are no downhills like in Suisse. Cancellara forgets that

Too much time with FrAndy.

well, he is correct though.

 

[Kwibus]

well, he is correct though.

The Netherlands is the bicycle county of the world. Pretty much everyone has a bike and uses it as a means transport a lot. Only a few wear a helmer, like some old people and some people give helmets to the smallest of kids. For example I give my son a helmet, mostly because my gf wants it though
People that ride their bike for sport, like mountainbikes or racingbikes wear helmets though.... Well most of them.

Riding a bike in Holland is safer than anywhere else, with the least casualties. If you have a proper cycling infrastructure and awareness it's not necessary to wear a helmet, not on the city bike at least.

Fabian is pretty ignorant if he didn't know that no one wears a helmet in Holland on their regular bike.

Bouhanni wins.
Fall in the last 300m.
Boom was very lucky he didn't fell. Stybar did fall tho

 

[l.Harm]

Looks bad...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Stybar looking bad...

 

[Vitapen]

Styyyybar

 

[Eyeballs Out]

At least he's moving and conscious

 

[kingjr]

Whoever that was from Giant is a humongous ****ing ***. Why is it so hard for some to just look ahead and keep their line.

Stybars crash almost a copy of Jalabert in 1994

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So unlucky for Stybar, he really had nowhere to go..
One of the best bike handlers in the pack. Proves that with mass falls, it doesnt matter how good you are with a bike. When you have nowhere to go...

 

[willbick]

thats why they wear helmets. terrible crash. those barrier feet are so dangerous, cant they design barriers without feet sticking out?! nice ghoulish camera work too

 

[Arnout]

Why the actual f*** do they use these *** fences with extended structure on a narrow finishing straight. That's just asking for trouble.

 

[LosBrolin]

Stybar's bike jumped like 3m straight up, sick.. Hope he is fine, looking pretty bad though..

I think Rensburg was the guy looking at his left at the very wrong moment.

He will be fine, bloody heads always look very nasty but all things considered the way he fell meant he didn't really take big impacts with critical body parts.

 

[Red Rick]

Such bad luck for Stybar. His bike did a solid triple frontflip

[glassmoon]
