There was an Irish rider who crashed right from the front of his group causing others to crash too

Exactly. In Leuven 2021 people were calling the route really dangerous because the juniors and U23s kept crashing, claimed the elite race would be just like it and then it ended up being perfectly fine. Just too many bad bike handlers in these age groups and that's going to show on any parcours that's even halfway technical.
Also, the peloton only has itself to blame for a difficult chase given that the group got away and took a sizeable gap before the circuit.

Have you... read any of RR's posts?
That turn with the orangey-yellow lines on the road has claimed its victims. Though, nice save by the US guy jumping the wheel of the British guy.

Fine, maybe I confuse him with someone else, my bad then.

And if they're not at the front they need to take a more conservative turn or risk a crash. It's a difficult circuit with a couple of corners, like North Frederick to George Square, where you need to be careful, but all the crashes I've seen (I did miss the start) have been people sliding out on corners they could have taken slower. Sliding out on a difficult corner because you are pushing it is part of racing.

I suppose the Danish commentators have gotten a lesson is how to correctly pronounce "Svrcek", coz the way they're saying it is... not how I'd say it!
Licking the wounds from his multiple crashes?

Looks like he's finally done licking then. Way too late probably but yeah.

He has been back for 2 laps. Was brought back by a car btw (or something with this bike because the live timing had him making up 3 minutes is one lap)

If he doesn't do anything they won't even be back. Belgium made so many mistakes today, biggest one not being in that front group/letting that group go. Put Gelders or Segaert in there and you're chilling, but no they chose to just not be in the first 40 positions at the start of the race.

High street and 2 corners in it for the lead to the peloton. Could easily come back in the final lap.

Belgium definitely have been the worst nation tactically over the course of this World Championship. Kopecky must be hoping it's a men-only thing...
