No, I was just confusedYou know numbers aren't my strength... but were you expecting Delapace to take place in Ronde de l'Isard?
It's a very sad state of affairs when we are in 2022, and a wheel can't be changed anymore.Van Avermaet puncture.
That's in Belgium, BTW.
Zingle takes it in Belgium.
De Lie* crashed in the last K, but had an impressively quick remount.
*At least that's who the commentators identified the guy who crashed as.
Lol, despite the crash on the last km, De Lie almost got inside the top 10. That must be the quickest remount I have ever seen. Maybe a tie with Vansevenant's ditch crash.
How can you doubt that it was him?
Well, I can't always recognize riders from helicopter shots.
No, but who do you think Lotto has as their last man in the train on the final kilometer?
Some nice off-road skills by Merlier and Zingle in the finish. Hugo Page coming through like at the train at the end.
Edit - Wasn't Hugo Page the one that Sebastian Molano hit on the head for his dangerous riding? He might have had a point, the way he barrelled through the last 50 metres.
And yeah if De Lie doesn't crash he probably wins with 5 bikelengths, but sadly he crashes a lot (luckily he doesn't seem to break his bones easily).
What was that race where there was a general certainty that he'd broken/fractured his hip, and then he just got back up and continued?
Both in Dunkerque and Wallonie he looked like he was going to the hospital. I think you mean Wallonie where he was literally screaming. He also crashed in Fourmies and Primus (but that wasn't hard at all).
But you trust your distrust?I didn't see he was last.
I don't trust the commentators.
I don't trust myself.
But you trust your distrust?
Just watched the replay of the finish and he managed to collide with two riders and get pinged into the path of Merlier. Obviously talented, but doesn't seem to have very much awareness of other riders?Yes, it was him.
