It's interesting but in English I read that as "how sorry I am for {{Fabio and others} who {have fallen or been hit}}" but I read the Dutch as like "how sorry I am for {{Fabio} and {others who have fallen or been hit}}" but that could just be my wonky Dutch. Any real Dutch speakers around?
As he also crashed and the barrier failure had so much to do with it, there is of course the possibility he's not too sure of the full extent of events. Also, I bet the lawyers are already around and advising.

Of course he's russian, he's from Vyborg - which used to be in finland. No, I'm not a geographical wizard , just read this piece on him from Inrng - one to watch. He certainly beat some names to win on Ventoux.

Watched the 3rd stage of the tour of Poland last night.Evenpoel took the stage win from 50k ish break.He really does look like he's in a league of his own !
Talking of Belgium's Van Aert is another who is looking unbeatable.Yesterday's Milan San Remo win to add to his Strade Bianchi is pretty unbelievable acheivment.Considering his nasty accident at the Tour last year which could have been career ending.Be good to see these two go head to head !

Bernal was pretty much on his own.He did well to hang on and take second to Roglic.You get the feeling this really is just a training ride for some ? I'm suprised Jumbo couldn't put some time on Bernal yesterday.

Roglic and Jumbo look very strong but they need to peak or be on point for the 3rd week of the tour. I’m not worried about Thomas, he knows how to peak and has won the tour. His form will come good in the coming weeks. I would like to think he goes a bit better today though. Bernal clearly showing some top form too. I’m not convinced Froome will go to the tour unless they think he can peak for the 3rd week and use his experience to help Bernal or Thomas. Ineos Has some real power but I’m not fully convinced of their climbing support yet compared to Jumbo.
Its great that Ineos has someone really challenging them, today will be very interesting.
