They're awesome! They even got a new thread, something that never happened with him on boardI just don't see what the hell AG2R is without Bardet tbh.
If it makes him happy, I only wish him well.No issue with Bardet joining Sunweb - Apparently he is very structured and methodical in his training which will fit in with the ethos at Sunweb. And Sunweb have a vacancy for a GT GC leader.
I know this means very little because Bardet was still making top 10's, winning the polka dot jersey, and giving them exposure, but without Bardet they will still have as many victories as ever. Over the last couple years he hasn't won that much. Again, I know that is NOT the whole story.I just don't see what the hell AG2R is without Bardet tbh.
Stage hunters............I just don't see what the hell AG2R is without Bardet tbh.
Well, he didn't.Sadly he crashed into an NTT soigneur that had no business being here.
His knees are in pain, he’ll likely bleed time tomorrow.
Oh no! Damn, I really wish there was something like a concussion protocol... Anyway, thanks for the info, Finn. Get well soon, Romain.Out of the race, concussion:

When I saw those images after the stage I suspected right away he was concussed. Hand to the head, tries to get up and falls down again, hand to the head again. We've seen it before, IMO poor form by the team and race doctor to allow him to finish the stage.Yeah he seemed really dodgy just after his crash. Really bad for him. Hope he'll be alright. Concussions are no joke.
Seemed like one of those way too easy cases on a medical drama really.When I saw those images after the stage I suspected right away he was concussed.

Absolutely. But also impressed how well he finished. Makes me wonder what he could have done without this damn crash. Maybe top 5?When I saw those images after the stage I suspected right away he was concussed. Hand to the head, tries to get up and falls down again, hand to the head again.

exactly, he should have been stopped. Of course he wants to get back on the bike, the team and race organisation should know betterWhen I saw those images after the stage I suspected right away he was concussed.

Plenty of people died already. Still nothing has changed. I think they're waiting to find something in the pockets of one of the dead guys.It's like the UCI is waiting for someone to die.
I don't understand the lack of medical protocol in a sport where they hit their head rather frequently.
That Skujins incident was horrific; I remember Twitter going mad that he wasn't stopped from getting back on his bike; it looked awful; like a drunk staggering out of a pub.One of those cases where I remember those scary incidents like Horner not even knowing he'd finished that Tour stage, or Skujins staggering around during that ToC stage.
