On the breakaway show, Adam blythe says it as he sees it, whereas dan lloyd is scared to death of saying anything controversial

I don't have a dog in this fight but having watched it live and now replayed a few times, personally, I think that Evenepoel mechanical is BS.

exactly, says rear wheel puncture , watch the footage he steps of the bike then remounts and pedals off again, feck all wrong with that bike from what i can see, you can bet your life that it will be punctured as soon as a mechanic got hold of it.

If that result is allowed to stand then the door is left wide open for cough cough ahem, mechanicals in future

couldnt agree more, he looked concussed to me , how long did it take to get any medical assistance.

same time as the group he was in , without any effort, knowing roglic had attacked which is what they have given him, maybe im wrong, but i dont like it one bit, too convenient for my liking

A hell of a lot if he couldn't stay with the group that attacked. i imagine the commissaires will be looking at this long into the night so may be news in the morning. All depends where he was (i.e. within which group) when the "mechanical" happened

It's a mountain finish tomorrow and he just saved himself quite a bit of effort to stay in the group that was 8s behind.
Also, why on earth would you swap bikes if you knew there was a 3k rule? Riders just carry on to the finish on that punctured wheel.

Rog attacked and almost immediately Remco had a mechanical.
I suspect he also shot JFK.
I thought it dodgy as I watched it.

I cant believe how long it took to get medical attention , guess we will have to wait and see what condition he is in, if roglic didnt have bad luck then he would have no luck at all
