VIDEO: Nasty crash in the peloton as tension levels rise on stage 2 of the Tour de France
CyclingSunday, 02 July 2023 at 16:36
Stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de France is nearing its climax and as such the tension and stress levels are extremely high. A nasty crash in the peloton will do nothing to ease the tension.
Maxim van Gils of Lotto Dstny seemed to be the worst effected rider. Initially, it also seemed like Jonas Vingegaard had been involved but thankfully for fans of the Jumbo-Visma leader, he was off his bike for an unrelated puncture.
Check out all the drama in the video below!

- Have to put Tadej on a penny-farthing bike. Then I think we could be confident he loses :-)mobk05-11-2025
- Exactly, a lot of people mix up all kinds of different law and systems and jurisdictions and levels of proof. The basis of doping litigation in cycling is that you abide by the rules you adhered to which have no direct relation to public law.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- During the 2021 Tour I remember thinking Jonas could win a Tour, he was climbing really well that year. I never predicted he would but I knew he had the physical side of it mastered.awp04-11-2025
- Ironically Tim Wellens at the time claimed they were having a great time and he couldn’t understand Tadej’s comment to the press about wanting it to be over. Was some of it just a bluff and was he in on it or did Tadej fool him also? We might never know but most likely there was more than one issue.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- mij, CAN cause weight gain. I’ve also had my fair share of inflammations, sometimes there is sometimes there isn’t, as is the case for swelling. Tendinitis in the shoulder which is so excruciating and extreme an inflammation you cannot sleep for weeks sometimes for there is no position relieving pain shows no swelling or weight gain. Flying will swell your lower limbs and feet visibly but without inflammation and, unless you have the budget to compensate, usually a decrease in weight due to dehydration from increased evaporation in dry air. No retention just displacement. I would have thought the many seasons of House would have taught most people not to be so formal about medical diagnosis before collating as much information as possible. Perhaps you can go criticise more usefully by contacting all these doctors who take forever (or fail) to land on the correct diagnose of pro cyclist when they have long issues as so many seem to.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- I’m sure they will give some guy on a web forum named mistermaumau a full disclosure. maybe they didn’t want to say anything during the tour and then have opponents attacking if he wasn’t ready. there is nothing fishy about this story, the only thing strange is how you always think you know more than everyone else and are some kind of expert.mij04-11-2025
- Yeah, thanks, I’ve been injured too. Let’s go back and recap. UAE and Pog were not at all forthcoming with info, Wellens has given contradictory stories at different times (and we are now in low season any old story will do mode). Obviously a swollen knee will contain a negligible amount of extra weight, happy? However, as all of you should know any rider is inflammed after any serious effort (and let’s not argue none made efforts every day during this years’ Tour) from the muscle breakdown that has to be repaired every day and so is already retaining plenty of water all over (way more than around a knee not looking like Elephant man). Now, easy task, Tadej was on the podium practically every day so just go check all those pics to see where he suddenly looks like he gained weight. Sorry Tim but unless you were specifically looking at Tadej’s body every evening I’m thinking you just started paying more attention after he told you we have a problem. Easy to hear inflammation and then imagine yeah he looks heavier. Can it not be he was ALSO actually tired or exhausted (enough to cancel Vuelta even though his knee didn’t actually have a serious injury)? Can you take someone’s statement of the scans showed inflammations or something as useful for evaluating a whole situation? And, despite the narrative now being sold as he was taking it unusually easy after, huh, sorry the next day when most commentators were asking how the knee would hold (but nobody noticed any weight gain), he won Hautacam! Then the day after, another win. Sorry, unless I get full disclosure from the man himself, I’m not buying more from this story than yes he was spirited to carry on and perform, there was obviously nothing seriously wrong with the knee, in fact, it may even have healed faster because he continued, I’m sure plenty of you riders and runners have experienced that, staying in motion helps relieve certain sprains and pains.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- You mean the rider who only finished 6th in GC?paneenebbiolo04-11-2025
- It’s probably several things. It’s a condition that affects particular sports way more than the average and men way more than women. It is very possible that the way training and riding and optimisation have evolved it is also being provoked in more athletes that are predisposed. As everyone goes further to test their limits, sit more aerodynamically, etc.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
- Sorry but what do you expect in today’s hyper competitive structure, this isn’t a problem exclusive to cycling or sport, it pervades every aspect of life nowadays for youngsters who look mire and more to internet content as guide and roadmap and refuse the wisdom of elders warning against all that glitters there. The problem is we have always been hyper focused on success stories, rarely reflecting on the price others pay because in this overly capitalistic structure only a tiny minority can reach the level defined as success. What few think about is that this price paid is now often being transferred to others because so many no longer learn to deal with failure. One more reason why society continues to fragment.Mistermaumau04-11-2025
