It's on Sporza.beI can't find it, just a picture of him with a cut on his skinsuit.
I saw it now. He lost around 10 seconds from when he slipped to the when he started pedaling again. Not a sure win without the crash, but definitely would have been close. Thankfully it looked pretty slow speed.It's on Sporza.be
Vroege val verpest de Baskische openingstijdrit van Remco Evenepoel: "Mijn eigen schuld" | sporza
Remco Evenepoel heeft zijn regenboogtrui niet kunnen laten schitteren tijdens de openingsdag van de Ronde van het Baskenland. In de tijdrit van 10 kilometer schoof de wereldkampioen na amper 20 seconden al onderuit in een van de eerste bochten. Hij was zo ook uitgeschakeld voor de dagzege en was...sporza.be

The TT wasn't flat but was short, explosive, with some cobbles sections, also with some short climbs. Those factors equalize more the perfomance between Remco and guys like Roglic.Remco probably lost around 30 to 35 seconds by falling. Not only the fall, but he also had to get back on speed again and readjust psychologically.
I think 15 seconds at most. I estimate Roglic Roglic' mishap, around 12-15 seconds, so if both of them rode flawlessly, Roglic would have won with Remco + (approx) 10 seconds and all others +20 seconds and more, so a very convincing victory by Roglic on Remco and ofcourse all others.Remco probably lost around 30 to 35 seconds by falling.

Likely, but how much time did the crash cost him? Let's say 10 secs, Then, in his sorry state, it's close. Either way Primoz Is flying, considering his mishap.A shame he fell, otherwise he would’ve won it. Would also created a more exciting race with him in the lead.
Took him 10 seconds just to get back on his bike and pedaling. Back up to speed, back in rhythm, crash was easily 20-25+. Plus he's going to be more tentative in the corners after that.I think 15 seconds at most. I estimate Roglic Roglic' mishap, around 12-15 seconds, so if both of them rode flawlessly, Roglic would have won with Remco + (approx) 10 seconds and all others +20 seconds and more, so a very convincing victory by Roglic on Remco and ofcourse all others.
Of course. However, some people crash their bikes a lot, some people ride over a mud-slathered Koppenberg to a win. For some riders, bike-handling is more a weakness than for others.Going full tilt is always an exercize in hedging your bets, sometimes it works, at others it ends in disaster. Nothing is garaunteed.
If you fall you were reckless, if you don't you were too prudent. But prudence does not win against this competition.
I think the fall costs him more. It’s not only falling, getting back on the bike and back to speed. It’s the impact it has on your muscles, on your mental state to get back into the zone, etc.Likely, but how much time did the crash cost him? Let's say 10 secs, Then, in his sorry state, it's close.

It was in a curve, so there wasn't much speed lost during the crash and restarting. And to get back into the zone... --> the crash happened 200 meters in, so not exactly in the zone yet.I think the fall costs him more.

If i didn't said that, i don't believe someone said that. Give us a name.Had he crashed twice, Vingegaard might have been able to beat him as some predicted!
Agree that Remco's time loss looked to be no more than 15 seconds but I don't think Roglic lost even 10 seconds more like 7 or 8.I think 15 seconds at most.

Idk REv was faster in the first part of the course with the two climbs, and mainly lost time in the second part.If the TT were flat, naturally Remco would had won. These short, hilly and explosive TTs benefit Roglic.
I guess the fellow avid mountain biker Thomas Pidcock bugs you even more now?As an avid mountain biker, it's harder for me to continue be a fan of a guy with such bike-handling errors. He's starting to bug me a bit. I want him to win, but you just can't beat the top guys doing stupid stuff like this in a TT. Not the first crash like this in an important TT.
It’s weird roglic took so much time on everyone in the second part as he lost at least 12-15 seconds with his mishap!Idk REv was faster in the first part of the course with the two climbs, and mainly lost time in the second part.
Would we say Pidcock is a poor bike handler? That he often crashes? Or that he's one of the best bike handlers we've all ever seen?I guess the fellow avid mountain biker Thomas Pidcock bugs you even more now?
After a crash, especially when the body knows that it isn't really injured, the adrenaline that kicks in can easily make you ride harder than you realize. Remco probably overcooked his initial post crash effort and paid for it a bit in the second half.It’s weird roglic took so much time on everyone in the second part as he lost at least 12-15 seconds with his mishap!
