This is one fucked up and tragic family of dopers..

 

Raimondas senior and the car full of EPO 'for his mother-in-law' (or something like that?)

Raimondas junior caught

Linas dead due to doping

 

 

 

Senior should be in jail for this...

Racist cheater Gianni Moscon has made some news again. Yesterday at the Tre Valle Varesine Sebastien Reichenbach had a bad crash, resulting in a fractured elbow. FDJ put the blame on Moscon, who obviously said it wasn't his fault, but it's starting to look more and more like the peloton would be better off without this walking bit of bad news.

Damn, Laurens de Plus just took a massive dive in one of the descents...hopefully he's ok, last thing that was shown is how he disappeared into the trees.

What crash for De Plus

And another bit of chaos at the exact same spot. Some medics working on at least one person (but no idea who), one Quick-Step rider was standing there (but not sure if it's De Plus).

Jan Bakelants had a bit of a crash as well in the same spot as De Plus, he broke some ribs and some stuff in his back..this is where his bike ended up:

 

 

And still Bakelants wasn't the worst off in this somewhat scary edition of Il Lombardia...Simone Petilli seems to be in worse shape.

 

Quote

Petilli is being kept under observation at a hospital in Varese, having sustained a concussion and laceration to his forehead as well as contusions to his right shoulder and hip. His team later stated that the 24-year-old suffered a fracture of the right occipital condyle (a fracture in the neck that can be potentially fatal if not discovered), a fracture of the right transverse process of the D1 vertebra, a broken right collarbone and a broken right shoulder blade, in addition to wounds near the right eye."
