Ronde van Vlaanderen - Tour des Flandres 2023, one day monument, April 2 (men's)

[Red Rick]

That should just be a ban

 

[Valv.Piti]

Thats Opa Papa levels of stupidity or whatever the *** that dumb girl was waving

 

[Filippo_3467]

That Bahrain rider should be banned from racing as Groenewaegen was. I thinkthat was way worse then what dylan did. What an absolut ...choose for expletive...just ride away from the peleton or crash into the grass

 

[Salvarani]

Seriously, how could Pogi avoid that crash?

???

He was just lucky.

 

[Divergence]

Bahrain at it again. The DS should have told them that Rogla is not at this race.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

The crowds never disappoint on the Kwaremont

 

[nightowl]

That’s one of the most braindead things I’ve seen someone so in a bike race. Would touching the breaks and slotting on the back have killed him?

 

[Red Rick]

Which rider was that

 

[Peyroteo94]

???

He was just lucky.

Yes, very lucky. It was in front of him

 

[search]

Which rider was that

Maciejuk

 

[Didinho]

Wout was also down but pretty fast back on his bike.

 

[Bonimenier]

Which rider was that

Maciejuk maybe?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

bit of an overeaction from a lot of people on here...the bahrain rider was at fault yes but that big mud track that caused him to be off balance and forced him into the peloton....it was just v unlucky that it was there.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Would they mind showing the peloton for one second?

 

[Salvarani]

That should just be a ban

He will probably be taken out of the race, either on his own accord or by the team/commissaire. He probably feels like ... already. The guilt and shame will take some time to get over.

Most likely a suspension and a fine as well.

He literally saw the mud for an eternity before deciding to ride through it

 

[Tobi]

What was he thinking

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They should build a monument there to remind the riders only to use the actual road.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Maciejuk

Ah, so a rider who’s done nothing in his career causes that

 

[Panda Claws]

I don't buy it that people who ride a bike for a a living at breackneck speeds (potentially thousands of hours a year) cannot find a more elegant solution there.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

He literally saw the mud for an eternity before deciding to ride through it

yes but he literally had no where else to go.

How was that worse than what Groenewaegen did? It was stupid and could of been avoided but he hit the grass and lost control, not the same as what happened in that sprint in Poland.

 

[dobrien]

That is going to be one determined break; I would not be giving Merlier much time today.

 

[Didinho]

We're halfway the race, a lot happened already. The final starts.

The were all wrong for being outside of the official road delimiters. They were kinda riding on some cobbles which were maybe part of a sidewalk or idk exactly. But the Bahrain rider just had to get to the front, would have made his race...
