Rider drop out *spoiler*

[Halfmanhalfbike]

Broken left wrist according to the Rabobank website

Bugger, had him in my fantasy team + seems a good bloke and would have challenged in the mountains

 

[yello]

He had quite a few injuries in that fall, including the wrist, and was obviously in some degree of pain in finishing the stage. Brave bloke and a damned shame.

Shame...

 

[Haitch]

Agree. Had him in my fantasy team as well and (along with the rest of Holland) was expecting him to do well come the mountains.

 

[Steve Austin]

I had gesink in my Fantasy team as well. Damn!

How come the thread name changed from "Gesink" to "Rider"? Now no-one knows who we're all feeling so sorry about?

I think the clue is in the *spoiler* tag....

Gesink=gesunk

What's that all about? It's not SPOILER material

It is if you haven't seen the highlights.

Sorry to be a bit fick and I get your drift and all, but would a 23-year-old foreign cyclist falling off his bike in his first Tour really make the highlights package?

Genuine question.

Like he was going to win to-days stage anyway

Didn't think this would be spoiler material really

 

[Steve Austin]

thats exactly the point

 

[Halfmanhalfbike]

Never mind about spoilers. 80km with a broken wrist. Talk about MTFU

If it was me I would be sitting in a ditch crying like a little girl while waiting for the ambulance

Just shows what the Tour means to these riders

Most likely. He is a big name.
