Holy shit that crash...and I really can't understand how Groenewegen managed to stay on his bike.

 

Another allied victory on Utah Beach :p

Apparently Morkov was the Katusha-guy who hit the barriers and went down in a seriously bad crash, after which Groenewegen hit Morkov, rode over him and somehow stayed on his bike :yikes:

We saw at once that it was Mørkøv ;)

He has been sent to the hospital to be checked. The first rumours are luckily Good.

You could have shared that with us then if it was so obvious ;)

 

That would be lucky indeed, that was a crazy hard crash.

    • Portugal   (WC title holder and European champions) lost 1-2 with   (4th in 2021; lost SF at penalties with Portugal)
    • You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?
    • I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting). 
    • The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one  
    • Guess I misinterpreted it, thanks 
    • A ceasefire agreement, no matter what it ends up looking like would likely be enough for the IOC to bring Russia and Belarus back and not wear egg on their face.   Until then, we'll likely have a continuing participation of neutral athletes.
    • Very bad news from the Junior Women's today.  I noticed also there was an Italian from the first chasing group who fell about 100m from the line and was not getting up.     Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer is in a "very critical" condition after suffering a serious head injury at the Road and Para-cycling World Championships.   The 18-year-old crashed during the junior road race - authorities say they are "extremely concerned" about her condition.     Road Worlds: Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer 'very critical' after crash - BBC Sport
