heywoodu 13,560 Posted August 15, 2020 #232 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Broken pelvis and end of season for Evenepoel. It's a miracle that's all, so I hope he'll count his blessings, so to speak.

Grassmarket 2,757 Posted August 16, 2020 #234 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Tour de Wallonie is sponsored by the local tourist board, so we are getting more chateaux than cycling at the moment. Heading towards a city-centre bunch sprint in heavy rain.... Long, straight & wide last km, fortunately. All went down safely, Caleb Ewan takes the sprint.

dcro 10,182 Posted August 21, 2020 #239 Share Posted August 21, 2020 They had so much time to give all pros coronavirus on purpose, wait for them recover, and finally have them race without this mindless approach in which tons of tests get wasted for each race. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
