This was gonna be the greatest TDF ever…until today that is.
Remco Jonas and Roglic got wiped out in a crash today.
And Wout broke like 7 ribs last week plus other bones
Sigh
All Tadej has to do to win the double is stay upright
I googled broken collarbones and it takes 6 to 12 weeks for adults to heal. I would say Jonas would be closer to 6 than 12. 13 weeks until the start, so I’ll think he still race. May not have full race fitness though.
It was real bad. I heard Jay Vine almost died or something and we’re kinda on edge on his status.
Jay Vine has amazing power to weight ratio but came from a virtual racing background (Zwift). He’s had quite a few crashes probably because he doesn’t have the real world racing background of most other riders.
TIL.
joy sticks or buttons?
Jonas is in
Wout is in
Sepp is out
No GC Kuss this year
At least he’ll be well rested to go for a second Vuelta (although he think he mentioned he doesn’t want to go for GC again).
Bummer. He was a great story last year.
today was such a good stage, you should alllll watch it!
Already started??
Started today but we don’t have Peacock. Darn you NBC( and I don’t mean darn).
I was hoping to watch as well, but no peacock. Thought it would be on USA or something like before but no dice.
Watched the highlights tho. Great job for the break to stay out front.
Roglic lost some time but nothing major. He might be feeling the effects of the crash a bit more than the younger guys (Jonas and Remco).
I am not convinced that I needed to see a spectator mooning the camera during a climb.
Disappointed it’s only being shown on Peacock… humpf.
