Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

Did Pogacar just win every race on the calendar there?

I love Pog, but don't want to see him run the table by default.

 

[Unchained]

Holy schit

 

[AmRacer]

And there goes the Tour!

To Pogacar, now he can do the double.

This was awful, I hate this, I am always scared of downhills. I hope everyone is ok, everyone recovers, nothing else matters

 

[Samamba]

The rider down (some here speak about) is Vingegaard, no? Or are you talking about the EF rider or the other rider still in the ditch?

There is 3 riders down still I think. Vingegaard, EF and a 3rd in another ditch, he isn't being filmed. (I think he moved his legs once).

 

[Escarabajo]

That curve didn't look that bad and weather was good. However it seemed like there was some sand on the corner and that was enough. At the same time there were some big boulders and concrete ditch. So probably some protection was called for.

 

[KZD]

This is awful for the season.

Cycling really needs to do more to ensure better safety to the riders. This has to be the priority.

 

[Faserr]

UAE rider is sitting up

I waa worriee for him. He and Vingegaard seriously hurt.

 

[Netserk]

I hope this doesn't end the career for any of the riders involved. Yikes.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

I guess they have to neutralise until they have ambulances available to follow the race

 

[ManicJack]

There is 3 riders down still I think. Vingegaard, EF and a 3rd in another ditch, he isn't being filmed. (I think he moved his legs once).

He was definitely moving his legs around right after he crashed.

 

[Snake]

I have bad feeling vingeegard season is over, could be a serious pelvis injury

 

[Escarabajo]

The EF rider hit bthe concrete ditch. Probably Uran.

 

[houtdffan]

Remco has Remco to blame. He was the first in line to crash.

He REALLY needs to learn how to steer his bike

 

[durtyfat7]

Was it Landa who was riding upfront when the crash happened?

 

[glassmoon]

ufff... at least no one hit those boulders... could've been fatal otherwise

 

[tobydawq]

Who was the UAE guy? I thought it was McNulty but he is talking with Soler. Was it Vine?

 

[Penninepeddler]

That tight a corner with a ditch on the edge... should probably have had some warning or barrier.

Evanepoel and Roglic seem "relatively" okay. Tesfatsion too.

Looks like Evanepoel might have broke a rib or a collarbone...
Roglic looks like unless running on adrenadline is just banged up.

Vingegaard looks bad. Is is Vine who was at bottom of the ditch?

Then is it Sean Quinn also looked pretty banged up?

 

[Lexman]

it seems the rider behind Remco crashed first, did he touch Remco or was Remco panicked and then ride ahead?

 

[ManicJack]

Remco has Remco to blame. He was the first in line to crash.

He REALLY needs to learn how to steer his bike

Not the time. 🙄

 

[Danskebjerge]

Surely, this must be the worst two weeks in cycling history in terms of crashes involving big names.

 

[Berniece]

it seems the rider behind Remco crashed first, did he tocuh Remco or was Remco panicked and then ride ahead?

He didn't touch him, but it might have made him flinch

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I hope this doesn't end the career for any of the riders involved. Yikes.

This is a horrible thing to even have to consider. We are talking about top riders of a generation here.

 

[Brullnux]

Vingegaard ((((((((((((

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Two behind crashed, i think he panicked.
