Holy hell....watching today's stage and just saw Skujins hit the deck. He was clearly concussed and they let him get back on his bike and keep riding.

I was literally yelling at the TV (and SRAM neutral service guy) to stop him and get him out of the road. He had no idea where he was or what he was doing....a danger to himself and the other riders.

Shameful.
Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

Oh, and Phil and Paul are still the two biggest buffoons in the sport. Sherwen proclaimed that Majka was more than just a climber, which he backed up by saying that he had twice won the Best Climbers Jersey and mountain stages in the Tour.

Ummmm....yeah. That pretty much makes him a climber, Paul.

Cycling needs to institute some protocol for wrecks like that. ICEdot or some other technology that gives a go/ no-go indicator in case of a wreck that involved the helmet.

I hope we find a better way to deal with concussions

He probably doens't remember going down. I had a concussion once after a bad spill and had no recollection at all. Most likey he wa completely out of it. Dangerous stuff. Lucky he did not get whacked by another rider.

I'm tired of all the mindless babbling from the comemtators. I watch about a half hour then fast forward to the last 20K .
