[Salvarani]

Skjelmose fell hard

Race over

Damn Skjelmose

 

[Heston]

Skjelmose looks like a DNF

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks serious

 

[tobydawq]

Skjelmose down. Bumped his head on the road. Hope he’s okay.

He isn't.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Looks pretty painful for Skjelmose. Doesn't look good.

 

[Salvarani]

Thank god for helmets.

He might have landed badly on his right side/leg also.

 

[scribers]

These road obstacles are frustrating

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

Ffs

 

[Red Rick]

Surely the break has this.

 

[Netserk]

That will likely end his spring.

He lands on his hip first, vertically. It looked like the kind of crash that will affect him for a long time.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Fred Wright is in the huge break, shiver me timbers!

 

[tobydawq]

Surely the break has this.

UAE pull to close, so hardly a given.

Or maybe just to keep Storer in check.

 

[Red Rick]

Head whips completely on the ground, *** awful

 

[Salvarani]

There was a guy warning before it. Riders pointed to each other.

Looked like Skjelmose was following the Bora rider, but then decided to switch back to his teammate in front of him. Slipped on the obstacle.

 

[Miha81]

Hard to watch. Hope it won't be that bad as it looks

 

[Salvarani]

Could he have broken his femur the way he landed? Would be awful.

But didnt look good the way he couldnt move.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah this is more than just hurting his head I fear. Breaking your femur isn't easy tho, but he did went down on it. Let's not hope it isn't that cause that would be awful

There wasn’t a guy signaling with a whistle but why are the first riders crossing the road in front of it? Couldn’t they just stay on one side while seeing this? I know they want to take the straightest ride but it seems avoidable. Some riders were signaling but not everyone sees that.

Politt’s teeth collect as much bugs as my windshield

You can see a man with a yellow flag in the background warning the riders.

 

[Berniece]

You can see a man with a yellow flag in the background warning the riders.

Why isn’t he standing in the middle of the road, or did they just place a big sign there?

 

[Didinho]

Didn’t see him. Maybe because I’m used to them standing in front of the obstacle.

 

[Samamba]

You can't signal on the thing just after a slight bend in the road, that's just dangerous for the guy signalling.

 

[Netserk]

Why isn’t he standing in the middle of the road, or did they just place a big sign there?

I'm not sure everyone would see him in time then, so I guess someone would crash in to him.
