Yep. They look in a pretty bad way in the bottom photo along with one of the riders. Was this recent? If so does anyone know how badly they were both injured?0 -

What the hell did he hit there? I've watched it over a few times now and can't work it out :?
If you watch this slightly better resolution gif you can see that the Garmin rider clips a post - it's vertical just before he goes over the bars, then there's a glimpse of it right on the left (looking rather bent) when the camera glances backwards

Once stuff goes wrong at speed, injuries really are a complete lottery, aren't they?
(and Youtube commentators never fail to depress me - is there some sort of way to hide them, or should I just start boycotting it?0 -

Van Der Breggen fractured her pelvis in this crash.0

What are they doing crashing there. It says 'no parking'.
Just kidding. Hope everyone was okay.
Another close up crash - this time from Roubaix.

You can see the rider who hit the barriers gets up immediately, turns round and then just freezes for half a second when she realises the other two are down as well. "Oh sh*t".TailWindHome wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NjSHt_xnzXs

howcome the Orica team riders passed them but not as a TT group? had they been dropped and were just soloing it back to the finish0 -
Broken pelvis for Ven Der Breggan from that Rabo-Liv crash: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/rabo-liv-crash-in-worlds-wrecks-medal-chances-injures-riders - best wishes for her recovery.0

The lady that over-cooks a simple corner doesn't even go and see if the teammate she took down is ok. And they should move out the road quicker - wouldnt want to be the next team coming round at 25mph+ and seeing three bikes and 6 people in the middle of the road.Contador is the Greatest0

I think she may have sat up, saving herself for the road race. That was implied in some of the reports I read.0

Vos admitted that she was not in her best shape, saying “team time trials are not really my thing, the rest [of her Rabo Liv teammates] were in very good shape, but I was not really that good. It’s not the perfect scenario for the road race, but I still have a week to close that gap.”Twitter: @RichN950 -

Yep, I was amazed she got up so quickly. I've done that before, you get up thinking it didn't hurt and don't realise what a bad state you are in until much later. I was driving about half an hour after my last heavy crash thinking I was fine and it was only later that day when I read a text I'd sent my wife that I realised I shouldn't have been anywhere near a piece of machinery!0 -
