Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

[Penninepeddler]

van Aert
Stuyven
Vingegaard
Evanepoel
Landa

all with "bad" injuries in the space of a week that will cause them to likely miss ~4-6 weeks or more.

That is 3 of the top 10 guys on earth right now... and 5 of the top ~40.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They need to change that jersey man, i keep thinking its got blood all over it

 

[Andre]

It feels strange watching this race now.

German commantators are saying, that Landa is not seriously injured..

 

[hfgon1]

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.

According to german commentators no serious injury.

 

[roundabout]

Depends what they mean by serious injury

Unless he had a scan already and the results are known

German commantators are saying, that Landa is not seriously injured..

Migels said the same about the spectator in the Ronde a couple of years ago, who ended up paralyzed.

This week they seem to get press information from the race, but I usually wouldn't put too much trust in what he says.

Oh noo, but we have to wait for the scan. They put the cervical collar for precaution. I don't think it's a serious injury.

 

[Escarabajo]

Gosh, Landa now???
This race has been very bad, honestly.
I guess that's cycling!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Who do QS even have left for the Ardennes

Someone needs to tell Van Welder that they are merging teams again

Yesterday it was also reported that Roglic broke his collarbone.

Alaphillipe ...come back win and hugs Patrick for a full 10 mins

Or if not

The great Fausto Masnada breaks free ?

Not sure if either of those are injured
Not sure who is injured now

I have moved 95 posts about lingering camerashots to a new thread: I hope that what remains is coherent, although there may be disjointed elements (the beginning of the sub-thread about Benji Naesen, for example)

Fausto is ready.

I would appreciate if only official sources are posted with updates about Landa, I'm a big fan of this rider I don't want misinformation. Thanks

 

[Earns1985]

At least Gil Gelders seems to be fine..

Just imagining Lefevere running to the bus worried sick about Gil, then the look of disappointment when he sees he DNF'd following a little cut

Yeah, I wouldnt be holding my thumb up I like that if I were Gil.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Hopefully the race doctors are being over cautious with Landa as well and he has no bad injuries

 

[Froome]

Fausto is ready.

The GOAT!

 

[Squire]

JSM on a good day.

 

[Salvarani]

Kwiatkowski doing some training before Ardennes here.

 

[JosefK]
