Well without the information about the speed, one could interpret the first sentence as serious news..I know sarcasm isn't always easy to catch on the internet, but...

no rider mentioned anything about the road surface in the descent being slippery.
Ayuso's crash was pretty hard, and yesterday it didn't sound like he'd expect much. Skjelmose may not be at 100% as well.Race goes on.. Today I see Del Toro and McNulty attack Skjelmose. Skjelmose defend good but Ayuso wins in the sprint.
Or ....... UAE tactical *** up
Well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actionsNo break yet, good to see them taking it easy after yesterday!

That's true. But I think the riders often mention something about the characteristics of the road when asked about the reasons for a crash. Hermans said that he didn't regard the turn as dangerous, but that the riders tend to push the limits. To me, it makes sense given that Evenepoel was in the front. He's a limit pusher.Several riders mentioned a 'bumpy' road.
Tell that to the rider on a small team and his agent. Its not that much different than a lot of breakaway wins where the field doesn't chase all that hard.But what value does winning a stage have when the field was neutralized behind? Zero
So apparently Jonas already knew this corner was dangerous and had contacted Safe Cycling. So why did he take such great risks on the descent despite his knowledge?@Libertine Seguros I can't quote your message since it's just quoted messages. So I'll tag you here.
That yellow barrier says it's a corner. Says nothing about slowing down because the road, the tarmac, is dangerous. So as a rider you see that yellow sign, you think alright I have to slow a bit down because the corner is quite sharp. And then suddenly your wheel moves underneath you because of bumps.
That barrier doesn't indicate or is interpreted as the tarmac is dangerous.

Why didn't he communicate this to his fellow pros?
He has big status in the peloton. This was nowhere near the finish or any important part of the race.
The riders sometimes self-neutralize already, why not yesterday.
Its an unfortunate racing incident.
confirmed on the ticker now. Landa abandonedCrash Landa and out....
according to someone on Twitter who's there.
Weren't they going uphill?!Crash Landa and out....
according to someone on Twitter who's there.
Why had a break not gone 90k into a midweek medium mountain Basque stage with little to no gc implications
oof ... hope it's better then it sounds.looks like it was a bad crash for Landa as well. EiTB is just showing pictures of him on a stretcher, off to hospital in an ambulance.
