Selfie generation.

Roglic's only luck in France is Bad Luck

miraculously, he actually looks pretty unscathed.

 

[dgodave]

So what did her sign say? Must have been incredibly important to be worth all that.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I think, although that was really stupid and even reckless she will probably get lots of abuse online already and people who know her will tell her how stupid it was... so she will be punished enough...
Or was it a he?

Absolutely not.

Reckless endangerment is punishable by law, and he/she should be charged.

Ya cause that works well in real life. If a guy hits me with his car all I want as punishment is that his friends say he is stupid

 

[jnormanroach]

So DQS is riding but Alaphillipe isn't in the front group?

 

[dgodave]

Medical car should get 200 F fine for littering.

 

[Carols]

Not so his Team which he Needs to win

Allez Opi Omi apparently, I didn't see exactly, but someone claimed earlier in this thread.

I also didn't see if it was a man or a woman, not that it matters.

 

[JosefK]

Pogacar caught behind?

 

[Salvarani]

So DQS is riding but Alaphillipe isn't in the front group?

He is there.

 

[jnormanroach]

He is there.

Thanks.

I think announcers confused Sagan's Slovakian jersey with the WC jersey.

 

[bigcog]

Sutterlin abandons apparently.

 

[MartinGT]

Belgie champs jersey gives me the horn.

 

[MartinGT]

Sutterlin abandons apparently.

Aye it's been confirmed

 

[Billie]

Dillier is not wearing his NC jersey?

 

[Salvarani]

Crashes happen all the time. And they did wait.

But waiting longer and they not gonna catch Shelling for the stage. Might as well end the race if everyone is supposed to get back before they can continue to ride in some people eyes. Who knows when some riders might come back, when some may have had their race ended right there.

It is up to the organizer to either neutralize or stop the entire race. Not one team.

The race is on...

 

[Pirazziattacks]

If I identified his helmet correctly he had time to control his fall and go down gently.

Actually no that was probably WVA.

 

[MartinGT]

Everytime I see Cosnerfy name come up I start hearing 'oh ah Cosnerfy' like the Cantona chant.

Tbh, this is one of the few times I would think it's acceptable for the riders to just stop and refuse to ride/entertain until proper respect is given to their safety.

Reckless endangerment is punishable by law, and he/she should be charged.

Usually I'd agree, if you did that in front of a cyclist on a cycling lane I'm sure you'd get punished legally. But I'm thinking of the moto-rider who was envolved in Ala's crash and got threatened over the internet although he wasn't even seriously at fault.
(I don't want to defend the behaviour, I really hate it, I just want to say this person will suffer.)

 

[MartinGT]

I think DQS need to wait as I had 50p on schelliing at 500/1

 

[spalco]

Roglic doesn't seem to have any visible injuries at least.

 

[MartinGT]

Who's the ineos rider off the back?

 

[Salvarani]

Seems like Shelling is empty anyway now and they will all come together. They might take it easy until the final, to let some others get back. All is well.
