Cancellara, Sagan, Stybar
WC- GvA, Sep

Crash Cancellara, looks like his wrist is a little painful. Hopefully nothing too bad.

Edit: he's out. Hopefully no broken wrist!

Same with Boom. He had a solid spill on Wednesday too. Degenkolb apparently went down too but not sure about the extent of any damage. No video stream at work.

noooooo spartacus :|

hope he is ok for flanders etc

Looking grim for FC. From Cyclingnews:

1. 
   14:32:58 CET
   Cancellara reportedly said as he climbed into the team car that his spring campaign is over, and he may be forced to miss Flanders and Roubaix. Let's home his condition improves in the coming days.
   

And in other news, the break is at 10min - assume the peleton is just distracted from all the carnage, plus a feed zone. Someone's gonna need to start chasing a little.

------------------

- I do all my own stunts

Also following the live text... The break has 10 minutes..... many crashes in peloton. What do you think their chances are of staying away?

Don't forget to unclip!

if fabian is out of the spring classics i will, infact, break down and cry. I have a lot of man love for fab!

10mins is a big break, rekon they could stay away now

Video has him riding after the crash and putting a lot of weight on his wrists, if they had a severe fracture he would have known right away (been there done that). Fair Weather Fabian (FWF) probably was frustrated and said it was over. Sadly if cycling was just like any other sport you pump them up with painkillers and boom they are back the next week.


Now with Boonen and Cancellara out that really changes the dynamic as Boonen always hits it hard early and Cancellara always closes down the key gaps. I think Sagan might have a field day.

None, the peloton was also held up at a railroad crossing. 5' 37" gap now.

LOL - yes .... if only there were drugs in cycling. ;-)

and seriously, if Fab is out, 1 - i will be sad, and 2 - sagan, Sagan, SAGAN!!! this is what they call an opportunity.

hopefully that was understood as sarcasm.

Break will be brought back.

3'33" with 77km to go. race is about to get started!

British Eurosport is still showing snooker, so i tried to see what they'll be having on the Dutch Eurosport site. Cycling, obviously, available in both English and Dutch coverage.

Funny enough, the ads are all in English as well...

Doesn't sound good for him at the moment, Flanders 2012 all over again...

Boonen was in that one though. This really opens it up. Perhaps Sagan's best shot at winning yet

On Sporza theyre saying Cancellaras spring season is over, two small fractures in his lower back

Yup two broken vertebrae and out for the classics. Darn!

Sorry, I meant FC crashing out on a water bottle. Bummer for him, have to think that throws much of the entire season into question.

That is a wicked setup you're running. What's your secret? TunnelBear and simple online stream? I need this for the next couple of weeks. Steephill and Cyclingfans have done nothing for me without a VPN setup.

Re: Cancellara - big loss for him and fans of the classics in general. Sagan's chances going up, though. Now he's gotta figure out a way to deal with Terpstra, GvA, Kristoff, Degenkolb, and Sep...

i agree. the fan-boy in me is sad because i love watching Fab and Tomaker.

HOWEVER, you are right. this is a great chance for Sagan. i hope it comes together.
or just general craziness. the anarchy that happens when the superstars are out.

gutted about Fabian

does anyone have a link for a good feed? The only ones I can find have the commentary about 1 minute ahead of the video

TunnelBear (or any VPN) and Eurosport
oh s***; that's a real shame. Always scary when water bottle bounce off of wheels

Damn, Cobble's cousin looks quite excited. So excited that he thought it's CX season and unclipped ;)

does having two guys in a 3 man break get me anything? ....these guys are going all in and it won't stick...dammit

oh i see you picked two out of the three




so did i ;)

gap growing; this break might stick
