Not surprised, that was a horrible crash. Hopefully just precaution.

Re:

If WvA could handle a bike he'd be a top rider.

I don't understand comments like this, kicking someone who's down already. The crash looked foolish of course, but clearly a lack of concentration or adrenaline overdose, not lack of skill. Surely it's impossible to be a world class CX rider without also being an excellent bike handler.

Boom mechanical

Anyone have a live stream? Nothing in the US. THANKS!

Yes, in the next shot of Wout, he was overtaking that same car.

 

[Orbit501]

Petit still there, but what about Gaudin?

Well he was not able to jump the obstacles until last season so...

Surely that crash didn't have anything to do with bike handling

I think it was a joke :surprised:

I think bike handling in road cycling is as much about concentration and riding in close proximity to many other cyclists, and with cars etc... as it is about technical skills. Van Aert and Van der Poel are great technically, but maybe lack experience in the other side of it.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Doesn't wva have teammates in front?

His tactics are often a bit questionable.

Is Wout in the team car?

I'm using the Dutch stream in the US. Click 2nd window, and use full screen size. No issues, but in Dutch.

Benoot crashed against Jumbo Visma's car

 

[Red Rick]

Benoot crashed through the back window of the Jumbo Visma car apparently

 

[Kwibus]

Benoot crashed against the jumbo visma car...

Drama race!

I'm amazed the UCI haven't done something about riders drafting back through the cars yet. It's only matter of time before something very serious happens because of it.

It was tongue in cheek....

It already did with Keegan Girdlestone

Wout is not giving up. Awesome effort.

Indeed. You'd think that would have been the catalyst for action, but apparently not.
