Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 3: Lorient - Pontivy, 183.9 km

[MartinGT]

Back on!

 

[Bolder]

Horrible luck

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah he's not getting back on his bike.

He's just really into proving me wrong right now.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Of course Thomas crashes

Thomas and Gesink crashing is almost a meme at this point.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Martin isn't exactly lucky either - it's lucky he hasn't taken out Roglic or Vingegaard yet, as he is constantly leading them.

 

[MartinGT]

Gesink out

 

[ontheroad]

Looks like curtains for Thomas certainly in terms of contending for the Tour. Seemed like such an innocuous incident too, the peloton just was cruising along.

 

[spalco]

Thomas down

***, DNF? What happened?

 

[Bolder]

Looks like a dos-d'âne is to blame?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

He's just really into proving me wrong right now.

and me

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Gesink out

That's sad, he was the guy for the early mountains.

On a positive note, Thomas looks better now, clearly nothing broken, when he can stand up and pull the handlebars.

*, *, and ****

 

[Red Rick]

Martin isn't exactly lucky either - it's lucky he hasn't taken out Roglic or Vingegaard yet, as he is constantly leading them.

It looked like Thomas was the first to go down.

 

[HelloDolly]

He may be back on the bike but he has ridden before when seriously injured

 

[perico]

***, DNF? What happened?

Thomas happened- though he is trying to continue. I hate it for him. Looked like he was just cruising then wham.

 

[Unchained]

I was sure Thomas had a broken collar bone!!he is not putting any pressure on his shoulders!! Martin on the deck and back up..like a wet cat he is really really angry

 

[wheresmybrakes]

He's fine, managed to zip his top up.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pretty wild showers, it goes from sunny and dry roads, to heavy rain, and then back to sunny and dry.

 

[MartinGT]

He seemed to hit a speed bump and wasn't aware it was there!

 

[SafeBet]

So Gesink is out while G is still in the race?
Not watching atm.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

TV2 commentators believe they saw Thomas mouth "full gas" to Rowe

Thomas in but really hurt and almost 3 minutes back with one helper now.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

I was sure Thomas had a broken collar bone!!he is not putting any pressure on his shoulders!! Martin on the deck and back up..like a wet cat he is really really angry

When the doctor did that check I thought it was gone, didn't expect him back on the bike

 

[Lequack]

Geraint can hopefully come back, the pace won't be that high on a stage like this. Crap for Robert Gesink though, a blow for Jumbo Visma.

Yes.
