One of the few rastafarians in the pro peloton today

You should see him do a Jamaican skid.

I do wish Rob Hatch wouldn't insist on pronouncing every rider/team/town/opera composer in their own specific regional accent.
I get it Rob, you speak some forrens.

Was that guy's arm bending the wrong way?!

Yeah, that looked extremely bad

It looked like it

Yeah really bad that - watching it with a colleague and we said "is that arm supposed to be like tha...ARGH" and recoiled in horror as we realised what it was. Would a dislocated shoulder be like that maybe?

And Bertie hit the deck pretty hard - got back up again, but if he's a bit bruised he might be attackable.

Poor fucker.

Also Cotnador came down, but looks like he was fine. But he's a pretty good bluffer if last years TdF is anything to go by.

Daniele Colli (?) ... sitting there, hyperventilating with an entirely inverted left arm.

:(

Oh fuck, Contador is hurt! Can't put the jersey on!

anyone got a good link for watching this?

Shit. Doesn't look good at all for Contador. Such a shame for the race - who's my villain gonna be now?

Just unexpectedly saw a pic of the arm on twitter pukes

If Contador can win the Vuelta with a broken leg then winning the Giro with a busted arm should be a walk in the park.

Gotta be collarbone if anything.

Talk of his knee, just now.

He seems to have a bit of a problem with his Oleg, too.

ouch

The arm in question [extremely gross] Link.

What did I miss?!

... oh, ok.

(reminds me of snapping my arm in half, 5 years ago nearly to the day, was kinda like that)

Fucks sake, I did not need to see that again. Edit to just post the link to it or something, could you?
