[Agger 1,662]

The swedish rider Jonas Ahlstrand was part of the crash, and tells a little about it here: http://www.svt.se/sport/cykel/jag-har-lurat-doden-tva-ganger/

 

I just hope that this finally makes UCI see that something has to be done. It should have been before, but now there should be no way around it.

It's so sad when someone literally has to die for a change to happen...

Indeed, but sadly not surprising.

One of the highlights of the cycling year is underway since a couple of hours: the Tour of Flanders/Ronde van Vlaanderen/Vlaanderens Mooiste/Flanders' Most Beautiful or as it is mostly known, simply "De Ronde" ("The Tour")

Well that's the end of the classics for Greg van Avermaet. I know the Belgian commentators react quite emotionally to these things usually, but this time they even cursed ("god damn it").

Tiesj Benoot was already out. If Tom Boonen falls as well, the Belgian tv will probably stop the live report

Finally

 

already missed some of action. Van Avermaet just watched the action on replay, must say that I never seen such crash of almost the whole team like the BMC did it here but really sad abut the consequences

 

I wonder if Maya is still a podium girl in this race?
