Miraitowa.

P.S. Flowers are just not any kind of flowers and are (story behind) rather special too.

Season over due to an accident in training. Damn

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ban cars!

That's a sad way to end what was looking to become a better season for him, than I what imagined when his break was announced.
At least the injury doesn't sound too bad.

Damn that's sad. He seemed to be getting into a very good shape...
Apparently broken right wrist - surgery tomorrow.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He really can't catch a break these past few years...

Ban cars!

Seconded.

 

[Red Rick]

He was reconning his own sportive....

He seemed really upbeat and optimistic about the races remaining this year.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah. I want that car driver sued!

I'm a little bit confused about his usage of the word "deception". Who's deceiving who?

It seems to be a translation of the sentence "Dat is heel zuur". It makes no sense at all!

 

[Red Rick]

"Deceptie" is often used as something like "debacle" or "catastrophe" in Dutch.

Anyway, Roglic gave a powerpoint presentation on the good luck of coming back from crashes and disaster so Dumoulin is now trying to replicate that maybe?

In French, "déception" means disappointment.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Get well soon Tom.

Not a good thing for a guy who was just getting back after not liking cycling so much. I hope that he can mentally weather this.

He’s come through worse things physically and mentally than breaking a wrist in the past. I’m quite sure he’ll be just fine.

odd how that word snuck in, for a dutch rider, on a dutch team’s site/twitter.
