Giro d'Italia Stage 2: Amsterdam-Utrecht (209km)

[Eyjafjallajokull]

It's a three week tour, not a classics!

 

[Jamsque]

Katyusha rider down now. They really are falling like dominos.

 

[Potomac]

I've been tuned in only 15 minutes and seen 3 crashes.

 

[Moondance]

Wow... Lots of crashes now. And there are still 45km to go. There will be blood

 

[Mellow Velo]

Juan Horrach. Street furniture hell.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

And there are still 45km to go.

And three weeks after that!

 

[Spare Tyre]

Less than 2 minutes on the peloton now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Well atleast Garmin gets to practice some TTT today...

 

[Potomac]

Is it all from the road furniture?

I don't see a lot of guys standing at obstacles waving flags.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Farrar changes shoe whilst riding!

Magic spanner also in operation!

 

[Francois the Postman]

Holland has Horse Categorie road furniture.

 

[Moondance]

WOAH... Major pile up.

 

[Potomac]

Holland has Horse Categorie road furniture.

very good, postman

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

What did I tell you guys about mass falls?

I was right in predicting that one

 

[Moondance]

Wiggins is down.

Columbia and Astana not exactly taking it easy.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

OMG! Wiggins in the pile up!

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

How did the whole of team sky come down?

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Columbia turn speed up at the front after crash. Don't think Sky will catch them.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Massive pile up. Wiggins and Sky down. BMC guy decked.

 

[Moondance]

How did the whole of team sky come down?

Well, I guess their front guy caused the crash....

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

Wiggins and Sky seem okay. Looks like Grieple will be in pink today though.

 

[Cobblestones]

Columbia turn speed up at the front after crash. Don't think Sky will catch them.

Should get help by Astana and Leaky.

Was Sastre in the pile up?

 

[powderpuff]

What would be the normal etiquette here when the leader goes down in such a big pile up? Obviously the break wouldnt slow down but what about the rest of the peloton which was all together at the time?

Looks like they aren't pushing it.

 

[Christian]

Oh my goodness, unbelievable how many crashes there have been already. Did anyone keep count?

I'm dreading the first Tour stages ...

 

[trompe le monde]

Massive pile up. Wiggins and Sky down. BMC guy decked.

Also, Francesco Masciarielli went down. BMC cyclist to fall was Kohler.
