No, all lead outs do this. And all lead outs are the cause of 90% of the crashes. Because they don't care and are too tired to look around.
UCI needs to invents something. A general rule for lead-outs....or something.
That's the only way to prevent this
In this instance it's not entirely his fault. he kept riding in a straight line and he was just pushed against his handlebar...
yeah he kept riding in the straight line when there was a left hand bend coming up.
He didn't look where he was going. |

That was very bad crash for Stybar and he did not cross finish, directly taken by ambulance so looks like race over for him. He is still young and many wins await him. |

It was not yet time to turn, and I agree he wasn't looking enough, but to say it is his fault entirely is not true imo. Only thing he could've done is hold the handlebars better, but it's easy to say from our chair at home. |

Why don't you like classic riders (bar Stybar)?
Nacer Bouhanni has the image of being a very dangerous sprinter, some riders like Greipel have even complained about it. |

Not that I dont like them or have anything against them, I just like climbers much more as I generally like to watch mountainious races a lot more than spring classics for some reason. |

He's 28, IIRC....
Anyway, does anyone have an update on his injuries?

OPQS site:
OPQS rider Zdenek Stybar suffered a crash during the sprint of Eneco Tour Stage 4 on Thursday. The crash forced Stybar to withdraw from the race.
Stybar, who did not lose consciousness at any point, immediately underwent examinations at H.-Hartziekenhuis Roselare.
Results of the examination showed deep wounds on the upper and lower lip, as well as broken teeth. He had radiological examinations, as well as scans, which showed no fractures or cerebral lesions.
Stybar has to spend the night in the hospital under observation. Further information will be available tomorrow.
OPQS medical staff wants to thank race medical staff and the personnel of the hospital for their professionalism and care of Stybar.
OPQS rider Niki Terpstra was the top finisher in the sprint, placing 20th. He is 8th in the GC, 18" back from Lars Boom (Belkin Pro Cycling) in the overall lead. OPQS looks next to 160.3km Stage 5.

What's wrong with loving someone's ride style? How does that make me a bad person?

I was just stating the fact - he's bad in ITT. It's not mine problem that some people here can't have a proper discussion and have to insult me on personal level, just because they're butthurt fans of a certain team and their riders.
Also, if you don't understand sarcasm in some of my posts above and on previous pages, I am not even going to try explaining it. I am not hating Mollema. I hate the fact that some of guys are constantly trying to defend him and post bunch of nonsense excuses, when there's absolutely no reason for that, as results speak for themselves.
