Looking at the pics of how the barriers were set up seems like incompetence at best and at worst gross negligence. Having barriers at a corner with the "U-shaped" connectors poking out, towards the riders when that's the exact point where their vision and bike handling are most compromised?

This looks to be in the same vein (though not nearly as tragic) as the totally inept design at the finish of the Vancouver Olympic Luge track.

Horrible for Wout.

I had this feeling yesterday that someone important would crash out this AM in the TT. Sort of glad I wasn't able to watch it now.

Terrible

Alaphilippe can't win the GC.

Alaphilippe can't win the GC.

Alaphilippe can't win the GC.

I hope Alaphilippe wins the GC.

But he can't.

So what happened to Rohan Dennis?

[Ruimteaapje]

After she saw Alaphilippe skid across the finish line and jump off his bike like like that, my mother said in a whatapp: "somebody tell him not to snort that new powder" (she read about powdered aicar in the media).

He flipped out.

To what extent and over what (apparently there is some question about whether or not he liked his TT bike or even his TT suit) remains unknown.

He is not long for Bahrain-Merida.

That skid was epic

Crazy from Alaphilippe!
Either he is going to win the TdF or he will have a major collapse in the next days I the mountains.
