Well, congratulations lucky Nibali. Hopefully at least Chaves can keep his lead tomorrow. 

 

What an absolute nightmare day it was.

Horrible crash in the Tour of Belgium with, again, two motorcycles. Apparently they were riding on a path to the side of the road, which suddenly ended, resulting in them suddenly being in the mud. Because of that they lost the control of their motorbikes and "flew" into the peloton. Reports are saying around 20 riders were hit and 11 are transferred to a hospital. Stig Broeckx (BEL, Lotto-Soudal) is apparently the worst hit rider: some are saying he has been resuscitated and moved to the Aachen hospital by trauma helicopter.

Very stupid by Cunego to not go in the break-away when all his rivals were there. Now after chasing the KOM jersey the whole Giro will lose it at the last second.:facepalm:

I'm doubting he is strong enough to attack again, but yeah, this is quite painful :facepalm:

Don't forget though that it's not a matter of just saying "Ah alright, let me get in this break away" and done...it's not that easy :d 

 

By the way, I know Nibali/Chaves/Valverde etc didn't attack yet, but so far Kruijswijk is looking surprisingly strong.
