Mvdp looks super lean"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

I once sat on a safety committee where someone did require treatment following this injury at a staff celebration event . Decision was to request a senior staff member should be present when corks popped.0

Apparently Magnus Cort is British now, or so the Giro website implies...

It is not lost on me that the sprinter with the stupid position which means he can’t see anything crashed into a wheel in front 50m before the line.0

At least when he withdraws he'll be able to blame it on feeling sore from the crash rather than having to blame a "Twisted Tonsil" (My thanks to Robbie McEwen for that turn of phrase 😎)rick_chasey said:It is not lost on me that the sprinter with the stupid position which means he can’t see anything crashed into a wheel in front 50m before the line.

After this clip emerged Van der Poel has been banned from entering Italy, so will abandon after stage 3

I don't think his position had anything to do with it, it was just one of those incidents when you are at your absolute limit and make a momentary error in judgement. I think the fact that he was there and contending for the win was pretty exceptional, none of the other pure sprinters were anywhere to be seen.rick_chasey said:It is not lost on me that the sprinter with the stupid position which means he can’t see anything crashed into a wheel in front 50m before the line.

I think even he should have been able to see the bike in front.

"Should have been able" certainly, but maybe he was just so on the limit maxed out HR that he really didn't see anything anymore let alone make a decision. He needed to have moved left if passing was ever supposed to be an option, but MvdP came past there a second or two before. Girmay was maybe tiring just at that moment, Ewan had 1-2 more pedal strokes in him and just clipped the wheel.
Makes him look really silly, but I feel sorry for him. Was just a mistake anyone could make when maxed out to that level.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -
Let’s just be clear here, no way was Ewan winning that stage, even with a clear road."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.3
