tombeej Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Quintana “feels pain in his right-hand shoulder and has been moved by ambulance to a medical center to check on any fractures,” Movistar said on their Twitter feed. TV images showed Quintana lying on the side of the road, looking groggy but able to speak, with Movistar mechanics and sports directors surrounding him. However, as he touched his shoulder repeatedly, it was clear the injuries were worse than in yesterday’s crash. A few minutes later he clambered carefully into a race ambulance, his Vuelta a España over.
Vetseun Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 6 km to go and Froome has just gone out the back of the leading bunchIMO..the way Froome got dropped and kept coming back and then to the front of the group just seems unnatural to me.
meathead Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 That was one of the most exciting finishes i have watched in a while.
'Dale Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Sitting at O R Tambo, heading to Table Mountain.Sounds helluva exciting. Looking forward to the highlights reel!
