Meeus with the fastest sprint but not ideally positioned before the turn.

 

[BlueRoads]

And again WVA first. What can't he do?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Philipsen died trying to hold onto Halvorsen's wheel.

And in another important piece of news for the day:

Rudy won the Battle of the Barbiers!

Wrong thread

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yes, pretty incredible by Mozzato. He did get caught (as opposed to what my commentators tried to tell me) but still won the sprint.

Shows you once again that those kind of riders are better off signing with a non-italian pct team so that they get to ride more often on the cobbles and not just in their mid 20ies when/if they sign wih a WT team like Colbrelli and Ballerini.

 

[Wvv]

Was that Cav again in the second crash?

Steimle

 

[DaLong]

Steimle

He looked in a bad place. Hope all is okay.

If I'm reading this correctly, he finished the race.

What weirded me out about it was that it looked like he was having some sort of convulsions...

That's what I saw too, eek! And actually Steimle shows as a DNF on PCS. That video looks to be Steels.

 

[RedheadDane]

That video looks to be Steels.

Which... is also what it actually says! I should learn to read...
Probably a bit too optimistic there, then again; we did see Simon Carr go airborne in T-A recently, and still finish the stage/race.

Fun fact:

"Rudy" means "red haired" in Polish.

I've got a African-Belgian friend with the surname Kurwa...might mention this to her, so that she never ends up calling her son Rudy.

Rudy Kurwa would not be gramatically correct, though.

'Kurwa' is an... erhm... non-polite word in Polish, right?

 

[Anderis]

'Kurwa' is an... erhm... non-polite word in Polish, right?

Perhaps the most commonly used vulgarism/obscenity and definetely not polite.

 

[Panda Claws]

Why no separate thread for Nokere Koerse?

 

[Sciatic]

Why no separate thread for Nokere Koerse?

Because someone has to invest the time in starting one?

 

[tobydawq]

I think it's for fear of overseeing the fact that there was a thread in the first place and the subsequent ridicule.

 

[yaco]

Surprised the men didn't learn from the women's race where it was hard to reel back the breakaway in the last 20 km.

Perhaps the forum needs A spellcheck-type function that prompts a little pop-up window to appear on the screen saying “Delete repeated thread?” ?

 

[Roku]

Exciting race. I was rooting at the end for Robeet and Gaudin, hoping they would stay away. They both did a very good race, as well as Zoccaratto.

 

[SafeBet]

Broken collarbone for Steimle.
