[deeno1975]

What d fcuk is a "Service Technician", I thought they were called Mechanics

[ybadboy27]

[ah4fecksake]

[TheModCon]

[SirJazz]

[jaha1910]

[TheCalcioedintorni]

@abdu452

-.-"

[MrLance1337]

@0:17 LOOOOOOOOL I could just imagine them jumping up pulling their hair out while screaming OH NOOOOOOOO

[KiDFRANKKK]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[vettefan87]

"THE PINK JERSEY HAS GONE DOWN"  LOL

[Andythefunkman]

I fucking love the attiude of the technnician....that´s passion!

[tthiel123456789]

yep, there's your problem, he's riding a shitty giant

[jensusa1995]

RABOBANK THE BEST!!!!!

[pimpjuice8921573]

Wow! and he still won!

I don't really watch much cycling, but if one falls doesn't that put his chances of winning at a big risk?

[goblin183]

@pimpjuice8921573 ehm, he only won the GC overall not the stage ;) And yes, it does ;)

[davidoffon]

Jesus, that was almost porn at the finish!!

[finnrambo1]

surprised he got scratched...... that road looked pretty fun to slide along :D

[50nollieman]

is tht his bone?

[bustedbojangles]

@50nollieman No. Just a skin flap. I would say.

[MrBrinuzzo]

@unweirdness, this wasn't the 'Giro del centenario' becaus it was the 100th edition of Giro, but because was the 100th 'birthday' of Giro ( some editions haven't been doing for WWII ).

[bolito198]

dennis menchov!!!

[gzanolli]

... correct: "giro del centenario"

[Math022]

Poor bike...

[LetsThrowAnOrange]

keep hitting '2' and you'll laugh!:)

[aplyro08]

owww his head bounced on that cobblestone!! and WHY is he wearing piiiiiink lol

[jonhy0102]

@aplyro08 I don't know if you ask that as a joke (hope you did...) but in case you didn't, the maglia rosa (pink jersey) in the Giro d'Italia is reserved only for the leader of the race

[MrDavidbrubach]

@aplyro08 Wearing pink means your the leader of the race

[bustedbojangles]

@aplyro08 Wow, get educated. Or look up the answers yourself.

[shayefb]

0:17

LMFAO

[kasor345]

it's a jersey thing

[c2thew]

props to the service tech for saving the day. that was a LIGHTING fast bike swap.

[pistolfate]

when they showed the replay, i thought he fell again.

[2003hondaCR125R88]

OH NOOO!!! THE PINK JERSEY HAS GONE DOWN!!!!

[89Czeko]

@2003hondaCR125R88 lmao that was soooo fucking funny!

[Tweekin0ut]

new bike? pick the old one up a d keep riding wtf?

[Shredpirate]

@Tweekin0ut It's always safer to get a new bike. You don't know if the carbon has been damaged from the crash. If he rode the same bike to the finish it could have snapped.

[barabundabet]

 ouch

[rikerth]

que boca-aberta

[mogglie]

I wonder who picked up the old bike??? perhaps someone in the audience took a chance...?

[yenrodtheoriginal]

Its a good job the commentator's p@ssed off - Menchov doesnt need to be! ;)

[singapore7773]

normal day on a bicycle.

[preludeh22driver]

Was that a pistachio stuck in his leg?? lol

[RotundRiceRockets]

Keep pressing 2 on your keyboard.

[ashatteredspirit]

@RotundRiceRockets wtf!? ahaha

[Josupen]

that service tech is a hero haha

[champagnehyu]

shit. superman mechanic.

[Triple777ER]

keep pressing 2 continuously...you'll be amazed

[VaajXyooj]

@Triple777ER ROFLMAO

[nvidiafighter33]

oh noo lol

[FloatingMyBoat]

that was amazing and inspiring :D

[messiasVi]

he shouldn't have switched off ESP

[officemaxo12]

0:16 OHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluemountaindrivepae]

Wet brick or cobblestone is slippery. Thin roadbike tires are bad in rain. Little tread on road tires.

[neocoders]

Magnificent.

[abdu452]

0:11 btw

[abdu452]

did someone say super mario at 0:14

[billygoatrules]

@abdu452

The speaker says "centenario" not "super mario"!

[XDfishboneXD]

@billygoatrules who the f*** wants to know that ?

[unweirdness]

@abdu452 No, the person said something like "centenario" because it was the 100th Giro.

[esorciccio]

@abdu452 it says centenario....italian for centenary...it was the giro d'italia nr. 100

[simostecca]

@abdu452 ahaha no :-) she says "Centenario" is an italian world that means that this was the 100th Giro d'Italia. (but it's easy for who doesn't speak italian to understand Super Mario)

[Filippomilanista]

@abdu452 No, the speaker from Radio Corsa (the giro's commentary) said "Giro d'italia del CENTENARIO", not super mario... he said he was the pink jersey at the giro 2009, 100 years after the first, in 1909

[TheGuyGuys]

@abdu452 It is a nick name of a Rider :)

[Jake01273]

Love how he drops his 10 grand bike at 0.23 when he sees a new bike, lol!

[MAS4T0]

Are you people stupid?

It's the Giro, and he's the leader... Of course he's wearing PINK!

[MrRacerboy1]

It took him exactly 14 seconds to get on the new bike, after crashing.

impressive

[sh1p1992]

great work by the team. He got his new bike pretty fast damn. :p

[JungleListSoldier]

That was his punishment for wearing pink

[46Larson]

was that his bone :O?

[fatmikecj]

@46Larson No I think it was just a flap of loose skin hanging off. Still pretty nasty though!

[Showinbulge]

Nice PINK suit.

[stekkelaartje]

Deep respect for the rabo service tech :D Rabo rules

[JesseReith1]

@stekkelaartje yeah, inderdaad!

[FistSaidToTheFace]

hes wearing pink.

[Geistxxxx]

lol fail 

[lizard450]

@Geistxxxx No actually he won.

[3101jimbo]

@Geistxxxx lmao how is it a fail if he won haha

[snorgi]

because of this he need a new bike? xD

[renegade78100]

@snorgi those bikes are very weak. cracks in the road can break the wheels. a fall like that and the bikes a write off.

[greeg120]

oh noooooo!!! rofl

[tgeucihtnairk]

hats off to that technician!!!

[nviati]

commentator needs to learn how to talk w/ caps lock off

[TheSirOlivier]

Menchov would have won the stage if he hadn't fallen

[MegaFortman]

The americans have the worst commentating skills i have ever heard. Sensationalist drivel that is pointless, hurtful to my ears. No wonder you snapped up our team of sherwin and liggett to give you lessons. While they were commentating on the days gone by you americans were fed Tesh music in an hour long sum up of this weeks action on either ABC or NBC if you were lucky. Damn i am glad i left the USA for good.

[altstorm118]

That was like an F1 pitstop! Awesome technician (Y)

[petsoukos]

Does the rear wheel act like a flywheel to store kinetic energy?

[MrLillejeppe]

@petsoukos no that is very much against the rules.. it only is there for aerodynamics.

[ah4fecksake]

@petsoukos normal spoked wheels create drag with the wind passing through both sides of the wheel.the disk wheel prevents this but is a heavier wheel.so its normal to use them on shorter distance time trial races.the reason they dont use a disk wheel also on the front is a side wind will catch them both like a mast and blow the rider off his bike.

[jacobmcr858]

lol, the editing makes it look like he can't stay on his bike.

[MeatCloud]

I remember this moment well... however, this pales in comparison to how absurdly ridiculous these commentators are.

Utter Morons.

Only the saddest of countries would tolerate this.

Only morons can tolerate morons.

[oitotheworld23]

@MeatCloud

You're a moron.

But I do agree that our commentators are awful.

[jsem94]

It's not who dopes the most, it's who benefits the most from the doping itself on top of your already built body, hct level. The only way riis could beat big mig was to dope himself to the gills, hes not called mr 60% for nothing - indurain was a monster considering his lung capacity etc.

[BahoUtot]

Did he just screamed gay? "pink jersey is down in the final ... Gaaaaay!" pink is gay alright.

[xenialvirtuoso]

"Look how far the bike goes!!!!" LMAO!

[YiftertheShifter1]

That's one scary crash.

[wrx5555]

Deep respect for the technican guy, that was really quick.

[mathewkrill]

i did exactly this today. son of a bee-sting.

[Rafael849910]

this road sucks... why they didn't choose a better place?

[zombieboner]

The announcers are annoying, it reminds me of US soccer commentators. Phil Legit should do all English telecasts for road races.

[TheSirOlivier]

I don' t care about doping in cycling because they are all doped: Contador is asmuch doped as armstrong and vinokorov and... , they should legalize doping so everybody would have their chance but another problem is that some have better medecins thn others.

I know many of you are not going to like what I wrote but face it !

How can a doped .BKohl finish 3rd!? How can a doped J.Ullrich finish 2nd!?

How can a doped D.Di Luca finish 2nd!?

4 Me that's proof enough

PLZ comment and say what u think!

[jerry7985]

@TheSirOlivier Only during training season they dope during the grand tours they don't, so its really who ever dopes the most in their training to progress faster than the others.

[notthenextstig]

Yeah gotta give props to the man that had the new bike with him damn that went fast like he knew he was gonna crash right there

[coolwhip616]

this was absolutely nuts if you were watching it live. on the last stage too.

[ecouriercouk]

What a great "service technician".. Brand new bike within seconds.. Pushes bike half way down the road, he is the type of guy I want on my team.

[ryanwalean]

Well, that was quite ouch...but um...was this the final stage?

[Eric1Andrade6]

was that white thing hes bone at the end?

[WhatsY0UTUB3]

@Eric1Andrade6

Yup. He broke his fucking femur and then he continued the race as his shattered bone was sticking out of his thigh.

You're a fucking retard. That is the dumbest question I have ever seen. Fuck you.

Idiot.

[Eric1Andrade6]

@WhatsY0UTUB3  shut the fuck up

[WhatsY0UTUB3]

@Eric1Andrade6

No.

[cardboardhut]

I crashed like that once while working as a courier, and needed a good ten minutes to lay on the sidewalk and recover. This guy is tough as nails!

[huntingfreak901]

@cardboardhut adrenilan pumpin real real hard same thing happend with me when i was racing fell and broke my arm got back up kept going had to get 2 pins

[venadoSOTX]

le chute MENCHOV

[cyclonicmonk]

rain+roads+road bike tires=alot of pain and not too good outcome

[brandonsanfran]

Riding in rain on thin wheels is crazy! Yea, I should know. Should be outlawed.

[MrReesonalex]

im the mechanic

[DowDowsson]

me too

[wanmaker]

i hate the usa guys there so drematic

[frankerspanker]

true, but then again it is the final time trial. when the leader goes down.

[V1Racerdude]

@wanmaker BOOOOO

[rbonilla18]

the pinky panties has gone down.....

[MultiJuiced]

the pink jersey going down. haha sounds fun to me.

5/5 for fast mechanic

[atb2000fromrucom]

Знакомо.. мокрая брусчатка..

[christian92485]

Menchov pulled it off.

[mikroos]

AMAZING job by the mechanic!

[halfawake454]

OH NO!!!!

[ondaquadra]

many scooter drivers from Rome well know "sampietrino" roads.. slippery when dry too

[Apneistefou]

ouch :S

[therallyfan]

i tryed that DAMMN it hurts, and the pain comes after the crash!, it hurts so mutch that you almost want to stay in the water because you get very exhausted in a crash like this....:p

[TheShamsdrury]

SHEFFIELD;

white racing bike with 531 reynolds frame for sale

good condition. contact me if interested looking for around £85 or nearest offer.

SHEFFIELD ONLY

[Unusak]

Holla die Waldfee!

[sprintbass]

im glad to see him win this...makes me think of ullrich crashing in the TDF in 03 in the rain...i hope since he has won both giro and tour of spain he will put some effort into tdf...would love to see what he could do there if he arrives in form...

[BrundukasLT]

why did he give him another bicycle?

[MagaCow]

faster than getting the other one going chain probably came off!

[sprintbass]

because you are allowed a spare bike if your bike becomes damaged or stops working properly..

[cocon57]

i dont think nothing happened to the bike! but hey mechanic was even faster than him!

[jfcash84]

He bent the rim on the bike he crashed. And in a Time Trial, you can't afford to wait to have your wheels changed. Amazing work by their techs. I have a Team ONCE colored TCR, they are amazing bikes.

[michelleyeow]

wow at the tech O.O

[MagaCow]

super fast bike change !!

[jrod8496]

badass!

[deadcoww]

That tech is a beast!!

[itsleo]

Yes!! shorts, flip flops and all he hustled the shit outta himself to get his rider a bike and off to a great rolling start, Bravo

[TheSanderz]

he had tennis shoes on.

[itsleo]

whateves lol

[EternalSickness]

Ow, that's gotta hurt.

[tecato666]

I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING LOLLLL

[MrIRONMAN989]

I don't know y did u give me a thumb down but..I mean...everyone knows that Dennis deserved the victory of the Giro..c'mon...he resisted to attacks of Di Luca..'n him was doped!!!

'n I'm italian..so..sincerely talkin ^^

[TheMrCsola]

Menchov...the lucky king,in Giro!

[MrIRONMAN989]

I don't think so man...he was the strongest in the Giro!!

[chelonia44]

Poor Menchov... He falls almost as much as Zulle used to.. Perhaps the mechanic was so quick with the bike change because the team thought, "uh-oh, he might well crash today". Glad he pulled off the win he deserved, and yes, that announcer is an ass.

[Charlienmeg]

Rain + cobbles = disaster!

My ear is still killing 5 weeks after a crash on cobbles in the rain!

[patje7]

auw

[garvos]

oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaa

[Miti96]

haha xD

[SachaKaBoom]

Most likely it is fat tissue showing. Underneath the 7 thin layers of the epidermis we have fat layer, so I think that white deposit is fat tissue. I've seen it happens before where the skins gets ripped away then there is that white fatty tissue. I think it would take a lot more to get down to bone especially in the thigh area. ;)

[Sukkeh]

especially with those humongus cyclist thighs ;)

[wilierfender]

DI LUCA NUMBER ONE!!!

[frisovn]

italian people are only for there own people and they're stupid!

[MrIRONMAN989]

u r wrong...I'm italian..but I was a fan of Menchov in this Giro...and I did well...because Di Luca was doped...

[Charlienmeg]

Can I assume you are regretting posting this now???

[theeroom]

shiiittttt,, what is that his thigh bone showing????? 1:08!!!

[fearghal007]

hahaha, dont you just love the yanks!!!

[mellowfellow12]

he said even on the replay dipshit

[hardrocker87]

ahaha I adore american commentary "oooh uao even at replay look how slippery the road is!" ahahaha

[alexb618]

its pronounced 'denny'

[elbassie]

The commentary is so funny. Way over the top. Retard americans.

[pyroboy7197]

Now why did you go and say that? Like really... I'm sorry Lance Armstrong won so much. That would piss me off too if I wasn't American. But even if I wasn't i'd probably get over it rather than bash the country that he's from.

[vancomycin87]

round and round i go,

where i stop ,

nowbody knows!

cycling is motorsport

:-P"adidas!"
