Ah, that is bad :frowning:

Couldn’t stop wondering watching the race so thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, didn’t look good as the race passed him. Fingers crossed all will be well though.

Love the fact he got a puncture, then happened to find a team car had broken down and nipped in to get a wheel.

Hate the fact that races like that have a time limit. I get it’s for traffic reasons, but just allow them the kudos of completing the toughest race on the planet

Chapeau that fella. I’d still be halfway along the Arenberg.

The time limit / HD / DNF is a bit of a pain in the arse logistically, often have no idea whether someone came home 9% slower or retired/dnf’d. If they cross the finish line, give 'em a result. No one’s arguing about ranking points for 151st place.

Remy di Gregorio tests positive for dEPO during Paris Nice. Not at all surprised

And Tim Wellens win Brabantse Pijl and it wasn’t even raining!

Got suspended for possession of doping products in 2013. “Never tested positive”. Prick
