- sounds positive news for Lidl-Trek...still dirty on them for not resigning Lucinda Brand and why they arent all in with sponsorship of the Baloise team in 'cross.
- yeah your point about accidents happening in a chain of events, not a single event, is key. no police or barriers at a crossing. a car gets on the road. a trailing cyclist doesn't have an escort. no radio and GPS is being used to track stragglers. and tragedy. break one thing in the chain and it could be accident averted
- The doctors called the concussion severe, even at the scene of the accident, because that is the term for it. The concussion protocol is the best they can do right now, with further research being done. It makes sense for Tadej's concussion to be severe because the freak circumstances lead to twisting of his head (and body) as he fell at high speed. Look at reports on the Toronto research published in early 2025 for starters, with images of the brain showing the effects that persist after symptoms clear up.
Btw if Tadej had ridden the EC and fallen, he could have suffered more serious injury to the spine as the vertebra would not have been fully healed. Also serious consequences if he had hit his head. Don't know why you are so keen to downplay the impacts.
- Complete bullshit headline. The best thing this website can do is commit suicide.
- If he wants to retire, he can spend a couple of non intensive low key seasons at UNO-X for lower salary as well.
- we need facts about these accidents and see the stats about these facts to find what can be done and what cannot be done. That is the job of the UCI.
This has been done in many industries, Airlines, and Spacecrafts. Once teh UCI sets the rules, then the organizers can decide upfront whether or not they want to hold the race or not. UCI also needs to make the rules applicable to all stakeholders including riders and staff about what to do and not do, for safety.
Parachutes are the safest to exit a jet fighter/bomber but none are provided on a passenger aircraft.
most safety mechanisms are not viable on a spacecraft.
in industries most accidents are the result of a chain of events, a single link not happening will not cause that accident.
all these things are thoroughly investigated.
inspite of all the safeguards, accidents happen and will happen, because humans remain inherently flawed but following rules/procedures minimize the risk and stats, not an individual accident
- yeah total joke. It isn't at all attributed to MVDP, but you would never know it looking at the headline
- there are no races, we gotta talk about something! The clickbait works, look at how many comments are here.
I see these inane comments and can't hold my tongue.
To compare Tadej's injuries to the others is an insult to all.
- exactly, it isn't even close. Tadej had a broken collarbone, standard issue cyclist break. he had a stable fracture at C7. since it was a stable fracture, it is no more serious than a broken wrist, in particular after it heels. And he had a concussion. the concussion itself will not hold him back at all.
C7 is at the neck/shoulders, it won't affect his flexibility for a TT bike at all.
the list of injuries for Froome, Bernal and Jonas are so much more extensive.
- he didn't break his back. he had a stable fracture at C7
