Lombardy - Evenepoel (graphic content added).

I just saw Evenepoel go over the side of a bridge. It looked extremely bad.

There are reports on RAI that he's alive and conscious.

May want to change the title per the "no spoilers" convention here - plus give a warning for those not looking to see graphic stuff before they click on the twitter link someone else posted..

I will modify it, although 'spoiler' seems to be for other circumstances. I will use 'graphic content'.

Thanks. Spoilers don't bother me since it's expected when opening the internet that one will see outcomes, but others here get bent out of shape if any info from a race is conveyed before it's firmly in the history books...

Anyway, just hope he's okay.

Seems Trek had some more #$&+)(_!! SrAm moments at the end of the race too?!?

Remco was a lucky boy. That looked like a 35 foot drop, or more. If that had been one of those deeper ravines...

You mean Mollema? He overcooked the left corner and came to a grinding halt before changing gear. He then proceeded to 'blend' his chainring. What a pro

Was Quick Step on the cover of Sports Illustrated

It seems that their riders are having a horrible year

Hope he and Jacobsen will be ok

Fractured pelvis, end of season but this could have been way worse.

Just a freak accident? Man another 50 ft down the road and it could have been deadly. Terrifying.
