Cade Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Really nasty pile up in the main peloton today in the Dwars Door Vlaanderen. Wout van Aert did his collarbone and a few ribs and is out of the rest of the classics season. Biniam Girmay, Jasper Stuyven, Mads Pederson all came down too, along with several others. Van Aert, Stuyven, Girmay and Michele Gazzoli all abandoned the race. Pedersen, Gianni Vermeersch, Alex Kirsch, Anthony Turgis, Harry Sweeny and Brent Van Moer also came down but managed to continue. Not content with bike crashes, the Soudal team car crashed into the Medical car, with the medical car ending up in a ditch. This then halted the women's race which had to be held for 15 minutes.

Tazio Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It’s all heating up in the Ronde Van Vlaanderen. Lots of attacks off the front, rain now entering the equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Apparently when he made his break only 3 riders managed to get across the Koppenberg without dismounting. That’s pretty brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Nasty crash for Vingegaard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Remco Evenepoel got a broken collarbone and scapula in the same crash, and Jay Vine sustained fractures to three of his vertebrae. Brutal crashes this year, the Grand Tours will be won by whichever of the big names hasn't had a major crash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Women's Amstel Gold: Police motorbike hit by car. Police closed road for investigations. Race stopped for over an hour. Race resumed but shortened. Far too many accidents involving motorbikes and/or cars on the cycling road racing scene these days. It's staggering that Team Directors are allowed to be the driver. And there clearly needs to be more training for the camera bikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Fleche Wallone was something else today. Rain, hail, sleet and snow along with nasty winds. Absolutely brutal conditions. Great solo attack to win it by a Welsh laddie too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor guy is shaking from the cold and has to be carried to the team car. He was showing signs of hypothermia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
