Tour de Pologne 2020

[Poursuivant]

Not there (traveling), but will translate tweets Lang says that it looked pretty bad but Jakobsen was breathing again before transport to hospital. 9min ago mention that all involved are in hospital with Jcobsen being in worse shape than ref. Heavy internal bleeding so not looking great. 2min ago unofficial mention that ref has a spinal injury (no more details)

Thanks for the info.

Fingers crossed for all involved.

I really don't understand the objection to that pic but maybe a link instead so those who don't want to see it don't have to but it wasn't graphic in the slightest.

I really don't understand why that pic had to be posted. What was its value or what informatin did it offer that couldn't be simply described with words.

 

[kingjr]

Classy comment by the way from the British Europsort commentator. Said he didn't understand why the host broadcaster was showing replays of the crash, adding "of course there are different cultures and sensibilities."

Remember how they waited to release the news of Lambrecht's death exactly a year ago, in order to inform his parents and family first.
This is going to be a long night.

I just hope his situation will at least be closer to that of Stig, than that of Bjorg...

I know that this is the least important thing right now, but i think you still have to be connected to the bike when crossing the line?

Again, I don't see the problem. It wasn't graphic in the slightest. They showed the replay about 60 times from various angles and speeds.

Let me repeat the question. What was the value, why did it have to be posted in the first place. As you rightly say, the replay had been shown plenty of times.

Rob Hatch (who is commentating from Spain) did a big rant on Twitter about the amount of shares of the video he was seeing on Spanish sites and the lack of sensitivity involved.

 

[Jagartrott]

Oliver Naesen once called Groenewegen a moron for nearly pushing him in the bariers during a sprint a few years ago. Guess he didn't learn a thing. First you commemorate a rider that died the year before, then you decide this is a smart move at those speeds. Horrible.

I hope very very much all involved will make a full recovery.

In a hospital in Sosnowiec. still being reanimated. Very heavy state. Everyone else involved will survive

What's wrong with this guy. Like no one else is sharing this stuff or what. What is the point of making these comments...

Hope they mean still trying to stabilize him rather than still reanimating. Both very bad but one is worse.

I appreciated the post. But I guess he could have just provided a link so those who wouldn't want to see it could choose not to click but I wouldn't have thought anyone would have a problem with it either since it wasn't graphic.

Noted. I also note that you still didn't answer my question. But it's fine if you don't want to, I won't insist.

yet you are asking people not to show images from the race?

I have not done that.

Just translating tweets from Polish. That one came from TVP Sport journalist I believe. Not common user of twitter so will not confirm sources, simply translating

 

[Velolover2]

Heard some rumors on Twitter about Quick Step abandoning the race as some sort of "boycott".

Would make sense but take it with a gran of salt.

 

[argyllflyer]

"I really don't understand why that pic had to be posted."

"What was the value, why did it have to be posted in the first place."

What's German for hypocrite?

 

[adamski101]

I have not done that.

Yes you have. You, as I did, objected to the picture a few pages back being posted.

 

[kingjr]

@argyllflyer to clariy, the picture did not bother me. But I fully understand why it would bother others. People feel differently about these things, indeed. But to draw a line between cultures is inappropriate and unnecessary.

To say "the picture didn't bother me, so I don't understand why it would bother others" is simply a remarkable display of lack of empathy.

 

[damian13ster]

Two minutes ago from official doctor of tbe race: Fabio is still with us. We are fighting

Would make more sense then them threatening to walk out of San Juan for rightly disqualifying Keisse.

Latest report from the Polish website (naszosie.pl):

Here is the latest information from the race doctor, Dr. Barbara Jerschina, who participated in the medical treatment of Fabio Jakobsen.

- We did everything that could be done. The working conditions were very hard, it is a very serious craniocerebral trauma, a broken palate, so it was difficult to intubate, but the laryngeal tubes and oxygen were connected all the time. We maintained the level of saturation and life activities. The heart was working well, it was maintaining the right pressure

- described the course of the rescue operation of Dr. Jerschin.

When asked by journalists whether there was a threat to life, she unfortunately answered in the affirmative.

- This cyclist is very seriously injured and is life threatening. The palate and the upper respiratory tract were crushed, but he managed to intubate, he went to the hospital, but lost a lot of blood. He is alive after all, he is with us and let's hope we win

Added Dr. Jerschina with tears in her eyes.


Jakobsen was transported to St. Barbara in Sosnowiec.
