Tiesj Benoot thread

Why doesn't he have any shoulders btw? Must be hyper-aerodynamic. The anti-Kruiswijk

Maybe Kruijswijk stole them...

Yes I like the theory but why has Kruijswijk 1 Benoot on each side below his neck??

Benoot confirms my idea that young talented riders should stay far away from Lotto, if they want to keep on growing. Too much nurturing going on there.

Van Wilder moved away after one year. Vervaeke was left on his own. Benoot has made very little progress in 4 years. I'm not sure it's about too much nurturing, just complete mismanagement. I'm completely convinced that Lotto management the past decade was completely inept on many levels.

Caleb Ewan doesn’t know what you’re on about.

Provided an overview of Tiesj Benoot's carreer till now:

 

[Lequack]

He's been in great form as of late, helping Jumbo to a TDF win with Vingegaard, but especially flying in the classics.

Unfortunately today he was hit by a car while training in Livigno, several fractures, but nothing worse it seems. Unfortunately that also means no more racing this season.

“Tiesj is onvervangbaar”, zegt de bondscoach, maar één van deze drie namen mag het straks toch proberen

Een gebroken nekwervel na een botsing met een wagen op hoogtestage in Italië maakte een einde aan het seizoen van Tiesj Benoot. Pijnlijk voor de nummer drie van San Sebastian. Ook een domper voor bondscoach Sven Vanthourenhout, die op zoek moet naar een nieuwe wegkapitein voor zijn WK-kopmannen...

Van Aert will have to look for another dedicated dom for the WCC i guess.

Roglic?

Van der Poel was born and raised in Belgium. Surely he could be convinced?

Gazzetta reporting that Benoot hit a car on the descent that was coming out of a carpark.

Benoot was training alone at Livigno with family and was not on a team training camp

Neck fracture… No comment.

It‘s just disgusting how many crashes, how many serious injuries happen to these pro riders. Crashes in every race, crashes in every training camp. That‘s the awful side of the sport.

Benoot‘s crash probably was compareable to Scarponi‘s fatal crash, if I understand it correctly.

They behave so professionally all the time, and then bad luck strikes, and the work of months is destroyed within one second.

Benoot will hate what happened, but also appreciate he still was lucky. This could have ended in wheelchair or even could have killed him. It‘s just terrible.

The sad thing is, the next bad crash will occur. We don‘t know when and who, but it will happen. Destroyed collarbone, destroyed neck, or death. No one is safe, not even the biggest names.

It’s always disturbing to hear about. But it’s not just a part of the sport of bike racing—This is the kind of crash all of us who ride on the roads face, not just the pros. I’m sure virtually all of us have had a car pull out in front them while descending or when riding fast on the flats.

Good podium today. Without the weird tactics he could've fought for the win though.
