A little one that didn't show up on the original x-ray. Probably a hairline crack.

Didn't think it looked that close on the line, might have been because he was still accelerating.

Apparently a barrier blew in to the road and took a couple guys out. Italians inventing new ways to injure riders.

Someone can't tie down barriers properly and some other fucker doesn't know the minimum safe operating height for his aircraft, and so you end up in hospital with a concussion and a possible broken pelvis. Rough way to quit the Giro.

Realistically, I don’t think barrier setup had anything to do with this. ~4000lbs of thrust/lift is going to move those things like a sail even if they are weighed down by 60lb sandbags on each leg.

The Vuelta incident involved really light plastic barriers I think. I’m too lazy to check.

Head doctor for team known for breaking everything down to minute details claims to not know testosterone might be a bit dodgy to have hanging around.


Edit: he was also at a prem club for 8 years before hand. This is such a completely absurd thing to say.
