Jonas Vingegaard Breaks Collarbone & several ribs
https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing...-itzulia-crash
I have not seen replays yet but read it was quite a bad crash |
Uggh. Just a few weeks ago Jumbo looked invincible. Now Jonas joins WVA on the recovery process

I am once again asking that people not post race spoilers in the titles of threads, especially when other threads covering the same topic exist:
Tour of Basque Country - spoilers |
Well there goes his year or more. I only cracked 3 ribs and it was a long and painful recovery that I’ve never fully recovered from many years later due to all the soft tissue damage associated with it.
|
Also hurt were: Evenpol who broke his clavicle, Jay Vine broke some vertebrate, and Primo DNF'ed but he had a crashed the day before I'm not sure what his status is.

Sucks for all of them. Super weird to watch it in slow-motion it looks like 2 riders simultaneously started slipping with no interaction with each other but in both cases riders around them panicked or target-fixated themselves into crashing.
Gotta love the announcers stepping in it. |

Firstly, thanks for the spoiler... :butt: :no:
Secondly, Gerraint Thomas on his podcast recapping Flanders made a comment how it used to be that Sky/Ineos would control the front on descents and just ride them safer -- and now UAE and whoever is up there just goes full-send every time because that's how races are raced now. So, I suppose it's fark-around-and-find-out time for the peloton? Are tactics going to change? Or was this more one-off.. I don't have a POV because I was waiting until after the work day to enjoy watching the race. But now that it's spoiled, I might as go watch some highlights. :rolleyes: |

High-profile crashes like this that disable significant amounts of the major contenders in the peloton should force a reckoning. |

The Glasgow Worlds had 41 turns on the circuit for a few TT events. TT on crit courses, pass... At least in Stirling the TT was out in the country and terminated in Stirling, turns yes. But it was slower uphill to the finish. We sat on a cobbled more than 90^ left. Dry thankfully... |
