1. I remember watching this on TV when it happened. I always felt that while Bauer was definitely trying to box Criq in against the barricades, hey, that's racing. Criq never should have tried to force his way past in such a tight, confined space and put himself in that position. There was simply little to no space in there - it was an accident waiting to happen, and it did. Personally, I wouldn't have disqualified Bauer, but I can understand why the race officials did. The decision could have gone either way.
2. Has karma ever responded so quickly?
3. RIP champion
4. I always thought it was a huge hit of luck by Fondriest, but watching it again, I'm not so sure...
   He was the fastest one (a good sprinter even in a peloton sprint), he looks like making little effort to overcome Bauer at the end. He was right in the wake of the other two, so he could have won anyway in my opinion, but we'll never know.
5. Questo mondiale ci rende giustizia per Battaglin nel 79
6. Tu Kolarstwo w Eurosporcie. Przejmujemy ten film! 
7. damn what a finish
8. dalle mie parti si chiama bucio di culo 
9. not really he touches bauer first,bauer then he flicks out his elbow. but like i said imho. oh yeah,claudy 's a piece of shit too,cheers m8
10. eh eh eh... vero ma lui sprintava così... 
11. I m'sorry for Criquielion, very sorry.... unlucky... 
12. It's just a shame that the crash happened. Only things I'm sure about are that they were all great riders in their own way, and that I wouldn't try to take the inside against a guy who grew up playing hockey. 
13. it was a stupid move by criquellion to go for the inside,where any sprinter would crowd him towards the barrier,he had the whole other side of the road.imho.
14. Criqueillon deserved, but Bauer has "prevented". Fondriest, at that point, he had no choice: only win.
15. Altough won one of my fellow was the most sad and unjust mondial history.Criquelion surely would have won and deserved.
16. @tortolabvi - i think Fondriest would have pipped Bauer for second place. Bauer was shot after bridging up to them. He should have sat on Fondriest's wheel for as long as possible but instead he goes along side Criquelion as if to say 'hey i'm here'. that was stupid on Bauer's part. then when the sprint started he was doomed. Fondriest was waiting to pounce. If you see in the last km Fondriest never sits down, he's ready to go. So who knows, he might have beaten Criquelion anyway. 
17. @duinthadope420 - VERY FEW sprinters sprint in a straight line. they twist and turn a bit (S turns) all the way to the line because when you're putting everything into the pedals there is a lot of torque on the frame. some are smoother than others, Djamolidine Abdoujaparov was most famous for 1. being very fast, and 2. for sprinting with his head down and swerving all the way to the line. just google 'Abdoujaparov crash tour de france' and you'll see one of these worst crashes ever.
18. the flemish coverage is a bit better quality and it shows Criquelion protesting after walking across the line. just look up "WK wielrennen Ronse 1988: laatste kilometer, met val Criquelion" here on youtube and you'll find it. 
19. Fondriest would have won anyway. He was the best sprinter of this trio.
20. come dice De zan Criquelion non lo dice nessuno....
