Big teams are pissed off you would expect.

What makes this crash different then? bad precedent.

Some big abandons.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Jeez..
that was horrendous..

 

[jarlrmai]

Tom Dumoulin abandon, Fab stopping I guess cos the race is stopped and he wants to see if he can get some medical attention might be out here. this sucks for the race.

Big crash at high speed 30+. right at the front of the peloton. Where's the break away?

 

[Stephen C]

I feel they are possibly missing the point that they are stopping it because all the medics are attending the 2 pile ups, and so can't cover the front of the race safely. Generally they don't stop a race for people just to catch up, no matter how many/"big" they are.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Despite the injuries and abandonments, I don't understand the neutralization. Are they going to begin stopping the race everytime there is a crash?

 

[jarlrmai]

Lack of medics is a possible valid reason.

That would make sense.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Yes, that's what they are saying now.

I think @Stephen C has it right
