Thats a little harsch considering their small budgets. The obvious pick for a horrible and useless team would be Katusha. But I guess that's off topic.Valv.Piti said:I bet we even wouldn't notice. Such horrible and useless teams.hazaran said:Sky made him crash, huh? No, it's the useless teams like EF and Dimension Data. Cut them out and it's suddenly much safer.

He was out for about three weeks after being taken down at Catalunya. What is this set of great riders, the majority of whom have never had an injury needing three weeks off?
Oh damn losing teeth is never good. And he had a great smile too, hopefully the new ones will look just as good.CTQ said:if the translation is right, it seems that he already had surgery to his nose and mouth, lost some teeths .
Muchas gracias a todas las personas que han estado pendientes y han enviado mensajes de apoyo, ayer mi caída estuvo algo fuerte pero ya me hicieron operación en la nariz y en la boca, ahora tengo que ponerle un par de dientes que se me cayeron .....pero,bueno.. paciencia

Give him a break, hes a young kid.....bike handling and the sort of nous that lets you be in the right position at the right time to avoid crashes comes with experience.toolittle said:Bernal had some serious crashes.

yeah i think id rather have a broken leg than his facial injuriesBolder said:Hope he recovers quickly. I can't imagine how much pain broken and knocked out teeth, a seriously split lip and nasal fractures must have been. Tough kid. As for crashing, some of it is positioning, some of it is bike handling and some bad luck. Look at Sagan -- he's routinely cited as one of the best bike handlers yet he had a solo crash at the TdF that nearly cost him the green jersey.
Well obviously, a broken leg usually doesn't really leave any traces on the outside.del1962 said:yeah i think id rather have a broken leg than his facial injuriesBolder said:Hope he recovers quickly.

I read somewhere that he can't now ride Vuelta, was he really going to ride Vuelta?
Yates did it twice already.Singer01 said:He won't have issues crashing in future, it's hard to crash when nobody is within a minute of you on the road.
As somebody who has faceplanted at very high speed whilst snowboarding on a dry slope, I can give you some insight into that. It's a great deal of pain. Take however much pain you think it might involve, multiply it by five and you're starting to get close. It was before everybody had cameras on their phones so sadly I don't have a picture to share but I pretty much looked like The Rock had hit me in the face with a cricket bat. Felt like it too.del1962 said:Bolder said:Hope he recovers quickly. I can't imagine how much pain broken and knocked out teeth, a seriously split lip and nasal fractures must have been.
Maybe he thought it was too easy for him. Lol.El Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant. He told media that Sky wasn't the problem during the boring Tour, but other teams were too afraid to attack.
Yeah, geez, I wonder why they didn't attack just to get chased down by 6 men of Sky.
Probably isn't very bright either.
I think that's way too harsh. And unkind.El Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant. He told media that Sky wasn't the problem during the boring Tour, but other teams were too afraid to attack.

Might have been the way it was translated, but I understood it as him wanting people to attack so he'd have an excuse to get dropped.El Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant. He told media that Sky wasn't the problem during the boring Tour, but other teams were too afraid to attack.
Yeah, geez, I wonder why they didn't attack just to get chased down by 6 men of Sky.

When Luke Rowe can lead the peloton over HC climbs of course it’s the other teams faults for not attacking...it played right into sky hands.... and don’t say Rowe was setting a hard paceEl Pistolero said:Kid got arrogant.
