VINO BROKEN pelvis- Bad way to end a career

 

[Publicus]

Just saw video evidence that AC was KNOCKED off his bike by a Katusha rider.

 

[The Hitch]

Vino broken pelvis.

At least the Vuelta field is improving.........

Shark vs Scarponi vs The Pope is good enough imo.

 

[Zoncolan]

Vino broken pelvis.

How in the world do you expect him to recover in time for the Vuelta?!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Broken pelvis can be dangerous for internal injuries. Ever riding again might be a minor priority.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Broken pelvis can be serious - hope he's ok

 

[Publicus]

how many crashes has AC been involved in that cost him any time? I can only recall the crash on stage 1 costing time (not that the others make no difference)

that's the only one. 1'20" of his 1'42 deficit.

I so wish that Vino could have got yellow yesterday.

Just saw video evidence that AC was KNOCKED off his bike by a Katusha rider.

Earlier some one commented that it was dog on the road.

If break will be caught, the sprint will be betweeen Hagen and Thor.

Whaaa.... what about Gilbert? It's 7,5% the last kilometre, EBH can win, Evans, Contador can win. Hushovd can get same time as the bunch but not win I think. Correct me if I'm wrong but he has never won anything on such steep or steeper gradient. I think the steepest he has won on is a UKM with 4,2% or such.

Do not try and re-write the versus narrative. They have had their story (for 2+ years) and are sticking to it.

I was thinking about JVdB, Wiggo etc, not the great old Kazakh.
He has retired, imo.

Vino as DS.

i rewound the DVR...sure looks that way.

Definitely wasn't a dog. It was a rider. Clear video of him shouldering AC. Should be disqualified in my opinion.

Sneaky f***ing Russians.

(before anyone gets offended, Im quoting the movie Snatch here)

 

[The Sheep]

sad way to see Vino leave cyclng

riding a bike? it was Evans...

Saw the video ON Versus. They pointed it out.

 

[just some guy]

Vino Pelvis and femur

 

[Arnout]

Shark vs Scarponi vs The Pope is good enough imo.

Don't forget Anton.

Seems I was right about Vino's broken hip

Where did you see that evidence?

 

[ggusta]

Gosh, one would think he was an hour and 30 minutes down given how many times i watch him eat asphalt on versus. I half expect him to abandon.

And radio shack.... we don't hear much of that juggernaut any longer from Paul and the tRoll-ke

 

[Publicus]

Vino Pelvis and femur

Tough way to go out. Hopefully they figure out a way to let him have a career in cycling after his retirement.

 

[PedalCastro]

Casar will win from the break if it stays out. Otherwise Gilbert
