  • Comes first place. Workman/tools argument?

    Horrible to hear about Goolaerts. My heart sank lower than my stomach as the image flashed by during the race, really hoped I would be wrong. Makes me feel unwell that I can see it when I blink.

  • Was the crash caught on the cameras? I remember a rider in blue I identified as a Movistar rider go down very hard and by themselves early on and wasn't moving after. I remarked on hard the crash looked on here, then reports of Goolearts started filtering through.

    Not that I want to see it you understand. But that impact stuck with me as the rider flew by himself from the pack and ended up face down, quite horrible.

  • That was sector 1 crash wasn't it? MG's crash was later on.

  • Crash isn't on race footage. Maybe a spectator captured something.

    In the race you just saw a shot from a moto as it sped past the prone Goolearts. The commentator remarked that it didn't look good. Know what @pdlouche means about seeing it when you blink. Don't recommend watching back.

  • Yup as @Scrabble says. It was the image of the rider laying motionless, not so much the crash. A couple of the other crashes looked nasty, but seeing a person laying still as the moto passed was horrid.
