Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

[fenns]

looked like Jonas wiped out Remco

 

[Sciatic]

Remco not being able to decide if going left or right and it messed him up? Turned too late?

Maybe, but it (faintly) looked like he was still going straight at that point?

 

[Salvarani]

maybe a highsider, first wanting to go left around the roundabout, then suddenly turning right.

Feels like that could be the most plausible one.

 

[jsem94]

Can't believe he crashed unprovoked. Some sort of weird one in a million mechanical defect? One of the weirdest things I've seen.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

What the *** just happened there? It seems Remco's got a new skill following that legendary Teide camp: crashing on a straight, dry road a few hundred meters from the line.

 

[Rob5091]

Did Remco crash on the white road markings? Another win for Godon and Ineos - chapeau!

 

[Salvarani]

Maybe, but it (faintly) looked like he was still going straight at that point?

Yeah, no idea. Vinge didnt give much clarification on it. He dont seem to understand either.

 

[Salvarani]

Have interviewer found Remco yet?

 

[Alien Performance]

could it just have been an old fashioned chain slip?

 

[Danskebjerge]

The moment Vingegaard caught him, he should have sat up. The Dane is too much a strategist, for which it is hard to like him.

Most people would regard it as too risky for a GC rider to take on a peloton on a flat section with 25 k to the finish.

Have interviewer found Remco yet?

All hands on deck trying to find him right now!!!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Seems like, for Peacock viewers, the crash was caused by "We are experiencing technical difficulties"

 

[Tim Cahill]

 

[Salvarani]

All hands on deck trying to find him right now!!!

We need to know asap

 

[Salvarani]

Iconic

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

He went over the handlebars, so an obstacle or only the front wheel breaked?

 

[Salvarani]

Vinge voodoo powerful

First in P-N now in Catalunya

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Okay, I feel better, he waves with his right arm, so it's all good.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Wouldn't want to be the teammate who has to wait for him

 

[Wvv]

Maybe a hole in the road surface just when he changes his hands on the handlebars, or at least that's what I'm thinking.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Don't bring facts in here.

We are trying to blame Vingo for the crash.

Well, a statement from a rider isn't "facts".

But yes, from what we know now, it was probably a solo crash.

 

[Salvarani]

Wouldn't want to be the teammate who has to wait for him

Imagine being the one that shares the hotel room tonight

 

[Sciatic]

Don't bring facts in here.

We are trying to blame Vingo for the crash.

that's the 2nd time you're sniping at other posters about blaming Vingegaard when in fact we're all just trying to figure out (out loud) what could have happened since we can't actually see it close enough.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Imagine being the one that shares the hotel room tonight

ever (fixed that for you)

 

[Extinction]

Right

Most people would regard it as too risky for a GC rider to take on a peloton on a flat section with 25 k to the finish.

Right, but when you have Remco on the attack, go. He just wanted him to work toward losing strength for the upcoming stages. But between champions it's not honorable. Then again I come from the past.
