    Someone better put Pog in bubble wrap.

    At least he’s doing LBL instead of Roubaix and doesn’t have to worry about the condition of the pavè, especially Arenberg, which they are saying is in even more shit condition than usual. Let’s hope he stays upright and whole going into those next two big races on his program.

    Sounds like Jonas has collapsed lung as well. Jesus.

     

    This split second may has just cleared the deck for Pog to pull off the Giro Tour double

    Jesus. It just keeps getting worse. I’ll still watch, of course, but was really hoping to see some great battles with a healthy and revitalized Roglic, along with Remco, Pogi, and Jonas at full strength.

    That effectively kills any chance of a TdF threepeat.  Strange year so far.

     

    True, just a brutal year. Just like Wout, collarbone and some ribs. He could possibly be recovered in time for TdF, but not likely in his usual Tour form. Sucks for Pogacar, too. That dude loves to race and compete. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to get a his third Tour victory no matter what, but beating a diminished Jonas might not be as satisfying. That’s racing, though.

  4. It’s a fair criticism, but cycling has done pretty well on the last few years of installing safety measures on high consequence turns at altitude and descents, especially in the grand tours. It’s a shame that some descents in this race were identified and the concrete culvert on the outboard side of a curve on a known probable high speed decent wasn’t covered by a mat or even cheap mattress. Still, you can’t nerf the whole world.

    I don't think I've ever seen all the favorites go out in one crash like that. Jonas, Roglic, Remco all done. Even Rigo was in it

    Yeah, when they neutralize the race that far out, you know it’s a bad one. Just crazy.

    Fuuuck.  I can't believe they let Roglic ride. He got knocked the fuck out.

    Wow.  That’s pretty dodgy. Dude looked rocked after that. Surely they’ll examine him more closely for concussion related injury.

    This morning Adrian Belew posted this to his Facebook page (spoilered for length):

    There’s also a great hour long sit down with all four of them on Rick Beato’s YouTube channel.  Super cool project and incredible lineup. 

  8. Scored VIP meet and greet tickets for the BEAT TOUR in Dallas. Belew, Vai, Levin, and Carey playing King Crimson songs from Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair.  Interested to hear Vai’s take on the Fripp parts and see a Tony Levin/Danny Carey rhythm section.

    These assholes booing are clowns

    Yeah, that was lame. Even the commentators mentioned the enthusiastic cheers from a Belgian crowd for a Dutch rider. You have to applaud greatness.

    Of course he will probably win now but MvDP seems a bit off

    Yeah, this is odd. Can’t tell if he’s playing a long game and being casual or if there’s something off.

    I was just thinking about this: I don't know anybody who is a serious cyclist who hasn't broken his collarbone at some point or another. It's the weak link when you fall and extend your arms

    Yep, most people I know who have spent a significant amount of time riding or racing bicycles has been through broken clavicle experience. I broke my right collarbone twice racing BMX as a teenager, then my left one racing a TMBRA mtb race in my 30s. They were all very painful, but took longer to heal when I was older. On the that last time I had even leaned how to fall correctly when crashing, didn’t extend my arms, and still landed just wrong enough to snap it from my sternum. Those kept me from meaningful riding and training for at lest a month or 6 weeks. I couldn’t Tyler Hamilton my way through it.

    Man this race is so ridiculous, apparently now a team car and a commissaire car wrecked and blocked the road. The women's race has been neutralized behind.

     

    But on the plus side go Matteo!

    Someone had to be the beneficiary of that mess. Good for Matteo. ‘Merica!
