Rly? I think it was Almeida or the guy closest to him whose wheel popped. Did you see all those bikes in each other. Also they hit the pavement hard. Meanwhile Pogacar slided. The hit on his arm to stop the slide seemed the hardest.
This is me not downplaying today's crash. It just weird how people are looking at Almeida crash and think this looked similar. The moment that almeida crash happened, everyone knew this was gonna end bad.
possible, put the pressure was on. Pity there could only be one winner today. Schmid was excellent.

Its on merit if he avoids crashes? its all part of racing.
What if pogacar crashed on the downhill while jonas and jumbo where pushing? should he stop then? he would have caused pog to make an error, i dont think its cause to stop at all

The Tour has finally landed, i.e. this stage had everything. Pace, heat, entertainment and drama at the end. People are losing their minds as well.
It seems that VDP had a problem with the radio and when he attacked he didn't know there were two other riders ahead of him. OMG

1. There were no gaps
2. They were not racing for the win
3. Pogacar is essentially in the lead
Laugable to suggest they just race on for literally no benefit outside of gaining 10-20 seconds on Pog. Nothing was at stake.

You spend so much time in the Remco thread insisting you don't dislike him and your hero crashes and here you are berating Remco when he had nothing to do with it.

he more or less already announced it before the stage. On from tomorrow, he'll go for polka dots.
I'm trying to be the El Patron of the forum, and failing miserably...but you gotta Try, right? I' a VIsma fan. That's how they ride, and that's how I post.

First it was Pogi's fault, now no one has any fault. Ahahah, easy to know who was responsible for that crash.
I think it could've, you can see from behind that Pogacar made a couple of small moves to the left. Without those he would've had some more space to brake. That and following the race direction to the right (he was on the radio at the time, so didn't have much control of the bike). Little doubt in my mind that if he hadn't been on the radio he'd have drifted to the right to follow the move.
But also there was very little room for error bc of how THJ made that move, as is obvious from above. Unlucky racing incident.

You're kidding, right?
P.S.: I don't think they were morally obliged to wait, but yes, it was the most reasonable thing to do. It really is about circumstances. If there still was a stage win up for grabs, and potential gaps could have been made, I'm quite sure we would have seen a different approach from Vingo and Remco. But now? Stage win gone, flat finish... No point in continuing to push.
I think he may have a point but not sure if it is the time (maybe tomorrow he will have injuries and drop 5-10 minutes which will make the waiting thing pointless) and mainly I'm pissed about injuries potentially affecting the race.

100%. or Remco or pretty much anyone else either.
What? It's already been confirmed Pogi is not injured. Also, he was asked about it and he answered quite respectfully (much more respectfully than Pogi has ever been to him).

They also knew that peloton was not going anywhere today. So they decided to wait. End of the world it seems.

I'm not saying it is a worse crash, just that it looks worse on camera the way he slid into pavement.
in this very situation i liked the waiting because
1. nobody was going to win or loose anything from the waiting
2. it was not clear immediately for the riders whose fault it was [and to some it still is not, as it seems]

If you behave in a sporting manner, then you don't go out and criticize it like Jorgenson does. For that, don't wait and let the road decide everything.
But waiting and then saying that doesn't make sense.

Let alone something as crucial as the chaingate, people remember every pacing up when someone's down for a long time, and always more negative than positive. Some teams/riders might not take it too lightly, maybe not worth the aftermath noise on this circumstance
