Problem with the leg says Bramati. So apparantly back and neck is mostly fine.

They say no fractures for Remco. Great news.
That's excellent news. He does look like someone with strong, nearly unbreakable bones, but still a surprise after that horrific crash.They say no fractures for Remco. Great news.

His temperament and inexperience will (i fear) cost him. I'm looking at Nibali first and foremost, as a sly experienced contender, who will take advantage of that. Pressure him in the descent, make Evenepoel work in the chase (laying all the responsibility on him when another top 10 rider is in the break) etc.

What on earth is wrong with you. Cold-blooded xx just wanted to show off yourself. This accident could happen to anyone. Show some respect rather than saying told you so when some one is in the hospital.So, did the team actually coach him with this? I basically predicted a scenario where things like this happen, months ago. I find it difficult to believe i was the only one who could see something like this happen. Nibali pushing in the descent, Evenepoel trying to follow and pushing his limits, which is always dangerous in a descent. Normal 20 yo's have been riding maybe 10 years, are riding at a much lower level in the U23's, or after going pro', they get to learn in the peloton for a few years, before having to race for victory. That only usually happens after having completed a grand tour or two, where you get dozens of descents like this. Remco didn't have all that.
Ok buddy. Ok. This can happen to anyone, but the most inexperienced yet hungry riders first. For me the team has a responsibility.What on earth is wrong with you.
