March 17th 2012 Milan-Sanremo - The Primavera - 298km

[Cogombre]

That's not looking good.

 

[burning]

this looks really serious

 

[hatcher]

Horrible seeing that. Uh.

 

[Lexman]

BMC & OPQS driving up the speed...

 

[Arnout]

Meh, gonna do something else for a while

 

[Benotti69]

Quintero

 

[Frosty]

Cav at 30 seconds???? That was the gap to the second chasing group from the 1st

 

[c&cfan]

That's why he is not in the same class as Cipo. Cipo won GW I believe. Can you imagione cavendish doing such a thing?

he already won kurn-b-k, msr, worlds, more than 20 tour stages and is only 26.

 

[screaming fist]

Why do they keep showing that kind of pictures?

 

[ChrisE]

but some clowns are just good enough for tv watching.

Yes, my comments about Gilberts fall from superman status should be discounted because I am watching eurosport.

 

[jens_attacks]

horrible accident.i know this is the sport still my joy for the race is almost gone

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Italy is beautiful. Man.

What is the news with Quintero? I had to step away from the computer. Is he ok?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Horribly near that wall

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Di Luca - back up after a fall. - Rai reports

How many TdFs did Cipo finish...oh wait he was on the beach by the second week!

 

[Frosty]

Yeah. Not sure what happened there.

3 Sky going mental on the front of the 2nd chase group.

 

[stetre76]

DiLuca crashed as well....at least that's what the swiss TV just said (they heard it over radio tour)

 

[pastronef]

Quintero is concious, moves legs and arms, and spoke with is directeur sportif

Good news considering how it was looking.

 

[hatcher]

Good stuff.

TV pictures will always make it appear dramatic.

 

[Caruut]

That's why he is not in the same class as Cipo. Cipo won GW I believe. Can you imagione cavendish doing such a thing?

'92, '93 and '02. Tied with 3 others for most wins at GW.

Still, Cav has raced for I think 11 fewer seasons than Cipo has, in total. He still has a few years to win a few more races.

No news. Seems like he might have crashed into that brick gateway, which would be a horrifying accident. We can only hope it wasn't as bad as it looked.

 

[jens_attacks]

quintero is well...
where is di luca now?man it sucks so hard that he crashed

 

[balkou]

In GDS are saying that the colombian rider is all right. He lost consciousness for a while but afterwards he recognised his DS (and he has mobility anyway)
