Meanwhile both Groenewegen and the TV director should find another job for the next few years, absolute morons. Screw you both.

That was some serious crash. Gronevegen channeled his inner Cavendish stupidity there. There was a photographer completely obliterated by Jacobsen  Eurosport were showing slow motions. Imagine if there were more people at the finish like a usual race. I don't see that much of a problem with finish, it was just Gronevegens moronic behavior. He very much knew and saw Jacobsen going inside with a higher speed and deliberately blocked him to get the win. It could have been a 30 metre wide road and he could have done just the same...

Yep, this was sort of a Theo Bos in Turkey move.

Only right thing the team can do for now.

Info from the interview with the doctor of the race by Polsat Sport:

- there was a problem to intubate beacuse of the huge throat damage and strong bleeding

- he was given the oxygene as well as all other needed medicine

- the heart was working well

- no chest injury

- the biggest problem is "skull and brain"

- his life is in danger

About the judge: he has a head injury and maybe also neck spine, but he was conscious, he was talking.

Plus 'his palate was crushed'. I did not even know that was possible, damn.

Fan video from the crash. It stops at the end, but people should still be cautious, if watching.

I heard that everything with referee is ok, he will survive.

Understandable to react out of emotion and adrenaline, but a bit of a disappointment a federation does so (not the tweet, but the statement).

I wonder how many people voluntarily go and watch that knowing his life is still in danger. The TV director showing replays (multiple, from all kinds of angles) within minutes, while there were and still are fears for his life, was just disgusting. That person needs to be fired, if you don't know how to do a job (and it is a rather universal thing in sports to not show these kind of replays until more is known about someone's condition), do something else.
