What happens after the crash *stage 3 spoiler*

[TVC]

Mods: please don't move this, I want it to be here.


This could be in the racing section, but I want the casual viewer like me to see it. It shows what the 'other' cycling professioals do for a living. Here is what an Orica mechanic does after a crash.

Much respect

Good post TVC.

Worth their weight in gold.

He didn't mess about did he; couldn't understand what he was saying but he seemed cool, calm and collected and got everything sorted in double-quick time. Very efficient.

Talented guy, bilingual

I thought there were three languages he used - English, French, Spanish.

I had no idea the job of tour mechanic involved so much running back and forwards

And he never got to use those wheels!

I'd've told that rider to go and fetch his own water bottles...

 

[DCLane]

Highly efficient and capable. I'd take 10 times longer for any of those jobs!

 

[MossCommuter]

Why all the running about pushing bicycles? Why can't he hop on and ride?

think i spotted vittoria rubinos being in use on TDF

In the aftermath of the crash it was very chaotic at the scene. I'm surprised the mechanic didn't get injured, running around with all the other team cars trying to get passed as well.

I would expect them to use Corsas rather than Rubinos if using Vittoria tyre. Maybe Paves today.

It is horrible seeing men flying through the air
