Giro D'Italia: Stage 5: Piombino - Orvieto 191 Kms

[Eshnar]

Our nerves needs definitely to relax a bit.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Wonder if he swallowed his tongue hence the panic ?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

He's moving. **** me, that orange shirt guy paniced!

yeh he looked like he was about to do cpr or somethin, which stunned me.

 

[will10]

ok he is fine

still on the deck, they haven't moved him

 

[Hugo Koblet]

He's moving. **** me, that orange shirt guy paniced!

Exactly. It looked really serious though but thank god he was moving (Slagter that is - not the orange guy).

 

[goggalor]

Is he OK?

My reaction was about that of the guy in orange.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Hopefully Martin will win something today


-Hope he's alright!

 

[Francois the Postman]

It is obvious the decision has been made not to take close ups of riders that are down. Good thing too probably.

 

[will10]

Wonder if he swallowed his tongue hence the panic ?

that was my first thought

 

[Dr. Maserati]

slagter apparently.

my heart stopped ...
but i think he put his arm up...

scary ****

I know - I went cold seeing it.

Thankfully he is moving.

 

[slim charles]

wow, that scared me. especially when that guy started to panic...

 

[Thomsena]

That saxo was trying to do cpr

They seemed to overract a bit.

My heart stopped.

 

[Ferminal]

Good work by Kohler to hold out until 10km to go.

 

[The Sheep]

That didn't look too bad

 

[spalco]

Any definite sightings of Contador yet?!

I don't think so, but I'm sure if he were not in the group witht he other favourites someone would've mentioned it already.

 

[superconfex]

Rider went over his stomach...winded i hope

 

[Parrulo]

still on the deck, they haven't moved him

he moved an arm i think. maybe a broken collarbone?

did he hit the guy in front of him?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And where did the fall happen?
on a straight road

So all that sh.t can stop

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Slagter down.
Jesus. I can't take this stuff.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

He should be ok when they are showing the crash in slow, but he's still laying on the ground.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Slagter conscious and speaking

 

[goggalor]

Kohler caught. Doubt he can hang on for very long.

 

[Highlander]

It's all over for Kohler, now the question is how long can he hang with them

 

[Mellow Velo]

Looks as if Slagter put a wheel in the ditch.
Still down, but I think they are being uber-cautious.
He was going well, too.

 

[Moncoutie]

My God this week just couldn't be any harder viewing.
