producers seriously need to be held to account.

that was horrific.

Yep, don't think any of us wanted to see that.

Hopefully it's just a smashed nose.

Although if they are doing CPR it is probably worse. I hope he's ok.

I just rewound, it was far worse than just a nose. I fear the worst.

 

[Moondance]

Wouter Weylandt.

 

[Ramira]

It's not just a smashed nose, they had to defib the guy. It seems they were there quite soon so hopefully they can help him.

Horrible - I hope it's neutralised - a sprint after that would be disgusting.

that was horrific.

Yea, I don't know WTF they were thinking with that shot. And then they WENT BACK TO THE OVERHEAD!!! What a completely inappropriate thing to do.

 

[Moondance]

This stage needs to be neutralized right now.

A man could be dying FFS! None of this matters.

 

[Publicus]

I can't tell if I should be bummed that I stepped away and missed it or thankful.

 

[Ramira]

It seems crude there's still a race going on. The Giro is all fine and dandy but in a situation like this it should be neutralised imo.

 

[woodie]

I missed it, how did he crash????

I hope he will be ok

 

[thrawn]

I can't tell if I should be bummed that I stepped away and missed it or thankful.

Be thankful. Seriously.

 

[Spare Tyre]

The producers were probably in shock too.
