VIDEO: Christophe Laporte goes down hard at first intermediate sprint
CyclingWednesday, 08 May 2024 at 15:48
With no breakaway out front, maximum points were on offer for the sprinters at the first intermediate sprint on stage 5 of the 2024 Giro d'Italia.
Kaden Groves took the win at the sprint ahead of Olav Kooij and Jonathan Milan. The main talking point however, was a crash for Christophe Laporte in the leadout. Going over a grate in the road, the European champion seemed to lose control as his foot slipped out of the pedals and subsequently slid hard across the tarmac, ripping open his jersey in the process.
Thankfully the Frenchman is back on his bike. See the incident in the video below!

- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024

- A good analogy is germane; a bad analogy isn't. You could say the strength of an analogy can be judged by its germaneness. I thought the bank account analogy was rather germane indeed!mikebeast16-11-2024
