Tour de Pologne 2025, August 4-10

[RedheadDane]

Danish commentators speculating that the neutralisation is because of a lack of ambulances.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Another absurd situation.

 

[Samamba]

They are restarting with a minute advantage lmao.

Ridiculous situation. It's full on final jeez.

 

[Squire]

Danish commentators speculating that the neutralisation is because of a lack of ambulances.

That's highly likely the reason.

 

[Kazistuta]

How many crashed? How come there might be a lack of ambulances?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

So they‘re stopping on the final climb?

 

[Heston]

How many crashed? How come there might be a lack of ambulances?

Several people were in the ditch. Lapeira looked fairly bad.

 

[Squire]

How many crashed? How come there might be a lack of ambulances?

Could also be that all vehicles behind the peloton got blocked on that narrow road where the crash happened, when the doctor's car stopped to tend to the crashed riders.

 

[Didinho]

So it’s gonna be between the 3 leaders if they start with a minute.

Hope everyone involved is okay.

 

[Samamba]

So Visma will go full for Brennan? But 1 minute will he hard to close, probably even impossible given the front three will have had a rest.

 

[Samamba]

So everyone can just come back to the peloton lmao?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What if the Grupetto comes back? Can Olav Kooij sneak into the sprint?

 

[AmRacer]

Sitting protest

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Küng looks happy with not being dropped anymore.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

40 seconds as a gap? That doesn‘t seem right.

 

[Heston]

40 seconds is way too little. Front trio getting scammed.

 

[Samamba]

40 seconds as a gap? That doesn‘t seem right.

Nothing is right here. Peloton just stopped after the crash, they they got neutralized. It was 20s before the crash, but did the peloton neutralize first themselves. It's impossible to know what the gap should be. It's just a farce

Also now they are asking the riders if they still want to race lmao. Only for stage win it seems.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Just seen the pictures again, Vacek, Lapeira, Bahrain rider and someone else on the ground. Only four riders. Must have hit most of them pretty hard.

 

[Didinho]

Race back on. No GC times anymore. A new leader tomorrow.

Painful to start all out on this climb again.

 

[Heston]

Just seen the pictures again, Vacek, Lapeira, Bahrain rider and someone else on the ground. Only four riders. Must have hit most of them pretty hard.

4th rider was Majka who made it back to the peloton before the race was stopped.

 

[Rob5091]

It looked to me like 3 guys in a ditch.
edit - ok 4 guys.

 

[Samamba]

So what had to be the most interesting stage (imo) is going to be won by Brennan in a sprint. Nice.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, if it is indeed because ambulances were stuck behind the crash, then I guess this shows that they need to find a way to get ambulances to the front in a different way:
Either through alternative routes, or by having some available to be called in.

 

[yaco]

They are restarting with a minute advantage lmao.

Ridiculous situation. It's full on final jeez.

The break had about a minute when the race was neutralised.

 

[Heston]

Riders who were dropped from the peloton when it was neutralised made it back and are now just riding along in the peloton. Including Brennan.

I mean come on, the break is getting major scammed here.
