I hope he does, just to put the fear of god into everyone for a few minutes.

Just a chorus of 'oh god no' over the radio as the team try and force a split straight after the flag.

Always wonder what could have happened on his break through year if he had raced RVV instead of going home or not got the cork in his eye at the Giro upon his return.

Exactly, it's why I feel bad for the guy, the cork incident felt like it denied him his time to shine, I had high hopes for him this year and it sucks he's out with another injury

Was he dazed & injured & wobbly for the 2nd off, or some oil on the road? Looked weird, certainly wasn’t pushing hard or even turning much, and he just went down.

How can the whole peloton go through with no further crashes, then he stacks it on his own? Wet roads are wet roads, but it’s normally 90 degree corners where you’re braking and leaning that become a problem.

I checked and Wanty are on Continental tyres like half the peloton, so shouldn’t be randomly skidding out due to equipment.

I had a video of that when I was about 6.

I remember it being shit.

He came out of the first crash worst. Probably riding with a significant undiagnosed problem.

Too much messing about in the breakaway earlier, burned his matches too early.

drat, sad to hear that about Bini.
But of course for me there's the silver lining that now Mihkels gets chances (and hey top 10 today, not bad)

https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ju...-purple-shorts/

quote:

“I don't know much I can say. The organisers gave us the skinsuit, so I put them on but then we got a call from the UCI saying: 'it's not allowed',” Pogačar revealed to Eurosport before the start of the stage.

Pogačar raced in team issue black shorts to avoid any punishment but missed out on the benefit of racing in a skinsuit.

“Now I have my pants but no skinsuit, so maybe today I cannot attack because I'm not fast.” Pogačar quipped.

Asked if he would attack from the start of the stage, Pogačar joked: “No, because no skinsuit, no aero.”

Castelli is convinced that the two-tone skinsuit respects the UCI rules. They shied away from combining pink shorts with the leader’s pink jersey for aesthetic reasons. Other leader’s skinsuits at the Giro d’Italia followed similar styles, with Tim Merlier racing in a two-tone cyclamen skinsuit.

These loving guys.

Wait wait wait, what, the UCI is telling RCS that the purple shorts are not allowed? Isn't that 100% a judgment call for RCS? Also lmao at the "no aero" line
