- Kuss and Pidcock's crsahses had nothing to do with the UCI! Kuss was fortunate the city most likely had that netting up but downhills can't be covered in padding on every mile! Racers race!frieders316-08-2026
- I’ll tell you one very simple reason, because others like Bjarne, Mauro and dozens of others get even more to say in the sport. So unless you advocate to kick out the likes of those, it’s kind of cheap to only pick on easy targets.Mistermaumau16-08-2026
- As already suggested with asking riders/teams to contribute to safety budgets, one very simple effective method would be for each participating team to have to provide X safety staff or X pro number of riders to be allocated along the routeMistermaumau16-08-2026

- Yawn. Why does CUTD insist on running stories from JB, LA and the rest of the Postal cheats?Crashjames16-08-2026
- JB trying to be relevant. He should do what he does best: dope, lie and cheat.Cyclingnut16-08-2026
- Movistar would be a good fit. The team is Spanish and Carapas speaks Spanish and understands the nuances of that language. He won the Giro with them. Cian Uijtdebroeks has not been the rider that they hoped he would be. I know there was a bit of falling out between Carapaz and Movistar. I doubt that would stop him signing.Cyclingsbestfan16-08-2026
- It is not IMPOSSIBLE, it just takes good organisation and the right volunteers. Either you use a rolling staff you ferry around in vehicles along alternative routes to place them ahead in time, or you use a rolling staff (who understand the concept of the broom wagon) on motorbikes on the race course. Alternatively, you provide spare motorcyclists or convoy vehicles to stay ahead of those ejected from the peleton to help protect riders from unforeseen dangers. In fact, it should be an option for ANY courtesy (even VIP) or publicity vehicle to be designated by commisaires to accompany riders at the back should the need arise. Gone are the days when you had to rely on walkie talkies with limited range, now everyone is joinable instantly anywhere so it’s just a matter of ORGANISING and WILL Most of all, you design courses that don’t have more side entrances than you can handle or block (lumps of concrete are no longer expensive or difficult to spread around and far harder to get past than the typical roadside barrier many will just shove aside impatiently.Mistermaumau16-08-2026
- I think the race organizers need to get more creative. recruit volunteers - unpaid people from local towns, cyclists perhaps. put someone at every crossing in a race shirt or whatever. give them swag. let them congregate before of after the races with the cyclists. I’ve raced sailboats, running races and cycling events. It is common, and an honor for the volunteers, to give back to their sport. many years ago during the Pan American games I volunteered to work the sailing course. It was awesome to see it all. Get local cyclists to help out. I would love to volunteer to help at a crossing, get swag, meet cyclists and see their bikes, see the full celebration of a race, the podium. there is no creativity, just finger pointing. and while your idea makes sense, to a degree, it could still happen. the motor cars can’t even keep with with him descending. it could have been a car going slow in the same direction, in his dedicated lane, blind corner, and he rear ends them. same tragic results.mij16-08-2026
