He’s getting dizzy. Looks like he broke something. His leg I think.

How long untill WC?

Less than 4 weeks

 

[Lequack]

Well this just sucks. Wout made this Vuelta so much fun to watch, and was is such a great form after his previous injury already. I am sad for him.

 

[RedheadDane]

Now, get that *** camera out of his face!

 

[dgodave]

*vomit*

The view from above looked like Engelhardt crashed on the left hand turn, then Van Aert hit Engelhardt's bike.

 

[Samamba]

Meanwhile Vine is just chilling.

I don't know if he has good legs, bit weird that he didn't even try to get 2nd on the last climb

 

[red_flanders]

Crap. Most interesting rider in the race, out.

 

[Lequack]

Could Wout wait for 15 minutes for a groupetto and wait if he the pain goes down and then continue? Or does just sitting on the car mean you're out?

it looks very bad

 

[DenisMenchov]

Such unfortunate event for WVA, reminds me a bit of Tao's crash last year in Giro. Just nothing you can do.

 

[carolina]

Commercial break is at least an honorable excuse. Portuguese eurosport commentators, while WVA was showing signs that he couldn't pedal, were laughing and talking about a stupid betting game they do between themselves on air each grand tour.

Of course nothing happens to their incompetence because one of the cycling commentators is the director of the channel.

If he actually broke something, he's not going to make the WC.

 

[stekelegel]

Broken knee maybe? Looks like end of season and hopefully nothing to bad long term.

I think he can. But I can't see him pedal up a steep climb in that state. Knee looked very bad.

 

[Samamba]

If he actually broke something, he's not going to make the WC.

But even if he didn't break anything, if he's hurt he will of the bike for a bit, and he needs a super form to be worth something at worlds.

So is SVTH going to call up Nys now?

Thanks! I could usually do that only on Eurosport 2, didn't realize MEO had added that option to ES 1 as well!

 

[Andre]

very sad to see this...he was in extraordinary form...I hope it's not serious or long term injury

 

[JosefK]

Could Wout wait for 15 minutes for a groupetto and wait if he the pain goes down and then continue? Or does just sitting on the car mean you're out?

I think if you're just sitting on the car and it's not moving, you could still return to the race. But Wout's injury looks like a race ender, and maybe worse.

 

[noob]

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

 

[stekelegel]

How unlucky can you be, again falling badly because someone else fcd up.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

But even if he didn't break anything, if he's hurt he will of the bike for a bit, and he needs a super form to be worth something at worlds.

So is SVTH going to call up Nys now?

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

 

[Didinho]

If he actually broke something, he's not going to make the WC.

Yeah that’s over if he broke some muscle cycling related. But I’ve been dizzy before with a little thing so it can also be something like that and he could be at the WC. Was just curious how long it was untill then.

 

[stekelegel]

Nys cant ride 250 KM yet
