Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 16: Luanco - Lagos de Covadonga, 181.3k

[Andre]

He didn't use ro crash this much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

it wasn't his fault at all...I think he hit the bike that fell in front of him

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Nys cant ride 250 KM yet

He literally just did.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Oh, ffs. Tragic once again for Wout.

No DNF yet still though, somehow Im still just hoping he was in shock and is able to get through

 

[Bolder]

He's definitely hitting the deck a lot. Maybe it's just recency bias but it's troublesome.

 

[ice&fire]

Superman was way faster getting into the car

It could change the dynamics for tomorrows stage. Instead of being a nailed on sprint, it could be a breakaway. Also VWA was my favorite for stage 21.

 

[Rob5091]

A big shame for WvA and Visma who must have hoped that a couple of jerseys would give them something this year.
Not to be, and it did not look good, so hope he can recover 100%.

 

[KOM]

WvA potentially throwing away KOM and Sprint jersey... Right leg doesn't look great.

How did he throw it away exactly? Should he have walked down the descent? Taken a taxi?

 

[Ricco']

We are at the stage of one unfortunate event away to Groves from having freaking Harold Tejada as points leader.

Yeah I dno man, that comment pissed me off to a great extent and I considered reporting it for being clueless. Like what the *** is he on about, a rider straight up crashed in front of him, simply nothing you can do. Shameless comment.

 

[Didinho]

Zana is known as a good descender if I’m right? And Wout also. Just don’t know why they’re taking more risk than normal, surely when it’s wet.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Superman was way faster getting into the car

Maybe he had an aneurysm that day, but his legs were still working.

He crashed

He literally hit a stone wall knee first, sliding at a considerable velocity. I am not optimistic. Would be great though if it was "only" pain.

 

[JosefK]

Wout's come back from some really bad injuries. Think about that TDF time trial several years ago, when he crashed and got that severe leg laceration that could have ended his career. He had a follow-up surgery with a Belgian doctor who worked wonders.

 

[Samamba]

Do we have a DNF confirmation already? It takes pretty long so he might be on his bike again?

I wrote this before any replay.

 

[Samamba]

Nys has ended his road season, right? Would be one helluva pivot.

Yeah last week, but he was open for a Worlds participation but SVTH said he doesn't want to select him to dom as he's similar to Van Aert. That's why I said but, but I don't expect it no.

It was Englehardt who had been working all day who crashed on the descent.

in case this isn't clear: the Jayco rider involved was Felix Engelhardt. Zana is still up there.

 

[Didinho]

Wout officially DNF now.

 

[Valv.Piti]

We don't and thats what keeping the hope alive right now. Would be so god damn tragic with two perfect stages coming up + the TT + green + KOM (that he still had a chance of) + Worlds. Just *** INSANE.

Nvm gg

Just when I say it, DNF Van Aert sadly

 

[RedheadDane]

Official now...

 

[shalgo]

Sometimes I really hate this sport.
