Le Tour 2018 stage 16:Carcassonne - Bagnères-de-Luchon 218km

[DNP-Old]

He is back on his feet.

 

[spalco]

At least he wasn't going too fast, should be ok (I hope). Looked pretty dramatic though.

 

[Finn84]

At least Gilbert is sitting on the wall.

 

[Pricey_sky]

He’s ok thank the lord. That looked a steep drop as well.

 

[Salvarani]

Up on the bike again

Fighter

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Looks like he escaped with a few grazes.

 

[bigcog]

Phew ...

 

[Finn84]

If Gilbert can finish the stage he should take red bibs for tomorrow.

 

[mojomonkey]

Thumbs up from Phil

 

[jsem94]

Gilbert will continue. Warrior.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Meanwhile the GPS has gone insane again

 

[postmanhat]

Latour will be threatening the top 10 if this gap to the peleton stays the same

 

[ontheroad]

He used his loaf to help soften the fall, good to see him back up.

 

[Jagartrott]

You have to be lucky as well, but Gilbert looked as he 'knew' how to fall.

Kinda stupid imho (from UCI/Team/ASO part)
Even NFL has more strict medical protocol than pro cycling nowadays :Question:
Not while ago they've put a guy with apparent concussion back on the bike, jeeez.

It may have looked spectacular but zero damage to the head? They didn't stop hardly anyone on the Roubaix stage

The way he fell looked like a somewhat controlled fall. Nothing too bad I guess, although it looked dramatic

Re: Re:

Looks like Demare give up, he is no longer in the dropped riders list on the live ticker

Edit: Actually he's back now

Even if he survives today, he can't survive tomorrow.

Gonna be lots of casualties tomorrow

there'll be an extended time cut of 25% though. So more than half an hour for a 2 hour something stage, which should be fine for the most

What Gesink is doing, nobody knows

GVA top 10 in GC. Not bad at all.

Peloton on a Sunday stroll?

Absolutely no reason to chase at this point. Sky just have to wait for an attack, which may or may not come.

On another note, Barguil sure has disappointed this year. Like Quintana, he's not the same rider. (or maybe he's the rider he always was, and last year was an anomaly)

 

[SafeBet]

Mimmo looks good today.

 

[Escarabajo]

Gosh, Ala is flying here!

 

[Squirbos_19]

How much longer until the GC group hits the base of the final climb?
