Yes, he's been taken to hospital. Some spectators also injured I thinkFckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Oh no, hope everyone's ok.0

Race ticker, via Google translate is saying
The sad confirmation has arrived: The need in the overall standings at No. 2 Juan Mauricio Soler lying injured abandon the race. I still can not say what happened to the Colombians in his fall. The medical department will be informed in a press conference tonight. In the accident, fans will also have been involved at the roadside, and they are maintained.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
Unsausti Izagirre (EUS), Angel Madrazo Ruiz (MOV) und Sylvain Chavanel (QST) have ~ 4 mins 30 with about 60km to go. No great urgency in the chase'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0

Dutchie on the CN forum reporting it's a cranial fracture, so that will need to be confirmed.
Carrara abandons after another pile up. All in good weather."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Velonation saying the same - crash with spectators after 13km, skull fracture and airlifted to hospital.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0

It's easy to joke about his bike handling, but that doesn't sound good. Hope he's OK.0
-
Always been a favourite rider of mine Soler, a true climbing talent. I really hope he and the others involved are going to be ok.0

eurosport saying that he was in collision with spectators and has suspected fractured skull. Nasty.The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.0 -
@cyclingfans: "Spectators also injured in Soler crash; organizers will release details only after stage finish. (AFP)"
Hope I'm mistaken, but that doesn't sound promising.0 -
Cancellara's towing the bunch along. Eurosport put a speedo on the screen.
80kph :shock:
It didn't look too downhill either.Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.0 -

Eeek.
Oh please God, not again.0 -
Cancellara has just ripped the field apart - amazing strengthhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Biciciclismo also mentioned 'fractura de cráneo', but that was hours ago - seems no news apart from Soler and some spectators hospitalised. Hope they're well.
In the race, big final climb now, 13 km @ 9 % average
Mollema/Kruijswijk/Ten Dam likely to try something, and all other climbers still need to distance Leipheimer, sitting pretty in the GC fairly close looking at the final TT0 -
What has happened to A Schlecks climbing? I know he is peaking for the tour but this is a bit ridiculous that 3 weeks from the tour he can't stick with the group0
-
only a dozen or so in the lead group now - losing seconds to the chasers but surely the stage winner will come from this group.http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Bah. Danielson, that's the last time I pick you!

even falling of the chasing yellow jersey group now.... he must have been studying my own form and techniquehttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Live pictures in a tunnel! The TdS is in the 21st century when it comes to broadcasting a race.
Well, apart from not being in HD.0 -
Cunego is go - can he protect his lead? surely still in yellow but with a little less buffer?http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

Kruijswijk is off - but it's killing Ten Dam and Mollema
Cunego, Leipheimer, Schleck just behind Kruijswijk0 -
GC is starting to look very good for Leipheimer0
-
Oh yeah, Leipheimer. Hate him too.___________________
Strava is not Zen.0 -
Good win by Kruijswijk - coming out of the Giro with a top 10 GC gives you something extra; this climb must have seemed easy after Zoncolan etc0

He really doesn't look that good. I wonder if there ia a real problem there? Is he ill?
It is one thing to go to California and look horrible, but he should be able to stick with Levi, the prince, etc.
At least he didn't drop his chain -- that's a small victory.0
