Tour de Pologne 2020

[Eyeballs Out]

Same finish as the last couple of years. Kwiatkowski won in 2018, Ackermann tried but it was just too hard for him and he finished 4th. Last year Mezgec won in good style.

 

[Arked]

Yes. It's a long , quite tough drag to the finish lane. Kwiatkowski won there in 2018, with Teuns, Gasparotto and Yates in top 10, and Ackermann finishing 4th. So many different types of riders can potentially win on that finish.

 

[F_Cance]

Difference is that the race is way harder this time before they reach the circuit. So the list of potential winners will be smaller.

Any news on Jacobsen? Hope he is out of coma and OK!

Letting patients with skull fractures and possible cerebral damage maybe too early out of coma is not the best thing to do.
The advantage of putting patients to a medical induced coma is to allow the brain to rest, also to give the rest of the body an opportunity to rest.
Bringing out of medical induced coma is very hard for the patient, even if he/she is still fully or partly unconsious.
I think thats why the neurologists decided to postpone to letting Jakobsen out of coma to today.

Edit:
Back in September 2013 Danish elite triathlete Camilla Pedersen crashed hard during training. She suffered a severe skull fracture, had critical internal bleedings, broken hip and other things, threatening her life. She was put in medical induced coma for 19 days, with doctors doubting the eventual outcome.
Camilla Pedersen did not only survive. After a hard rehabilitation program she came 'back in business' and even won a 70.3 event in Fuerteventura just 8 months after the crash and later the same year even won the world title on the long distance in August 2014, just under a year after her life treatening crash.

But at first hand I just hope Fabio Jakobsen will come back to life and be able to live a normal life. Not even talking about if he will be back to pro cycling. Think those discussions can wait.

Any chance Mads P can do two in a row?

Never knew holding a mask in your hand could protect you from the virus. Suppose the big man in the sky will save them.

Throwing a bottle worse than smashing someone into the barriers at 80 km/h. Riiiight.

Of course it is, because it happened during a bunch sprint. It could have taken down half of the peloton. It also has nothing to do with the actual sprint. Most of you derive the seriousness of an infringement based on its consequences. That’s only part of the story.

He's trying to shoot God?

Complete ***, lol. Sorry dude.

Guy in the white shirt also too stupid to put the mask on properly i see

Probably not. I suspect he's still a bit too heavy. Needs to shed a few pounds before the classics and the Tour.

Cycling should look at football where you can get redcarded for a violent offense without even touching another player. In cycling someone has to die or be severely injured before action is taken. I just hope FJ will be able to lead a normal life again. That’s all I have to say. I’m going to focus on Remco’s victory in this stage now.

Jakobsen has just awoken and is doing "relatively fine".

 

[Red Rick]

Jakobsen has just awoken and is doing "relatively fine".

"relatively fine" meaning relatively little seeing as everybone in his face is broken and he lost all of his teeth

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

De Gendt AND Evenepoel. Wouldn’t that be something?

Looks like Fuglsang misunderstood. He's in the attack with De Gendt and a few others.

 

[damian13ster]

Jakobsen was woken up. Doctors say he is in good shape

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

"relatively fine" meaning relatively little seeing as everybone in his face is broken and he lost all of his teeth

Relatively, considering the circumstances.

 

[Faserr]

Fuglsang is gone now, Bodnar, De Gendt and Rutsch are chasing. All three can push serious watts.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like Fuglsang misunderstood. He's in the attack with De Gendt and a few others.

Surely De Gendt AND Evenepoel does not imply absolutely no Fuglsang... Maybe Evenepoel misunderstood by not attacking.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Jaw specialist and face surgeon are "optimistic" for Jakobsen. Both have examined the injuries.

 

[spalco]

"relatively fine" meaning relatively little seeing as everybone in his face is broken and he lost all of his teeth

If "relatively fine" means being alive, able to move all his limbs, have eyesight and hearing and no obvious brain damage, then that's great news considering the severity of the injuries.

This works very well if you drool, to collect the drool

 

[GuntherL]

The top of the last big climb today is around 40 km from the finish. That’s where I expect some action.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

lol, nobody on the side of the road with a facemask.

 

[Bonimenier]

Yeah, yesterday on the local round there were parts that were quite busy and no masks to be seen.
