ScottCM Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Michael MatthewsOGE Secretly hoping that Cannondale-Garmin can make some magic happen He is my choice to, but after seeing how Griepel climbed in the classics i wouldn't count him out either.
'Dale Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 He is my choice to, but after seeing how Griepel climbed in the classics i wouldn't count him out either. Viviani is looking lean and mean too
HBO Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Dont know if this has been posted here yet. But looks like the crash that split the bunch was caused by a dude riding his bike off the pavement and into the pelaton!! http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/giro-ditalia/fixie-rider-causes-huge-crash-at-giro-ditalia-video-170567 What a box!!I can't believe this. How stupid can one be? Surely the authorities will deal with this. Give the guy a heavy penalty or sommer jail time.

extremelights Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Today is Bunch sprint - bunch sprint - bunch sprint !!!
HappyMartin Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Really bad accident. Possovivo down hard. He is out cold. Very serious. Man I hate this side of the sport.
Bankie99 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Really bad accident. Possovivo down hard. He is out cold. Very serious. Man I hate this side of the sport. Crashed on the descent. Looks really bad
Jay_B Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That did not look good... Seemed like they were trying to clear his airway at one stage
HappyMartin Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 This is very bad. Medics look very stressed. Hope he is OK
tombeej Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That did not look good... Seemed like they were trying to clear his airway at one stage Yes, that spectator was trying to give him CPR I think. Very bad. But what's potentially worse is that spectator picking his head off the ground and waving him about. You never ever move someone with an accident like that. He could have a broken neck and any movement like that could cause permanent paralysis (or worse). He should have been kept totally immobile. I really, really hope he'll be ok. Very unhappy sight.
HappyMartin Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 News feed from Tour Tracker is reporting that he has regained consciousness. Jeez!!!!

Very unhappy sight.Yea agreed... His team mate that stopped looked to be waving his hands at the spectator to leave him and not move him around. Some nasty pictures as they were loading him into the ambo. Seemed to loose his front wheel going around the corner
HappyMartin Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That was very well done by Michael Mathews. Well timed sprint. Orica having a dream Giro so far
