UCI President
David Lappartient spoke to Cyclingnews about rider and race safety before the start of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes, calling on everyone in the sport to come together for the good of the sport. His solution to the issue seems to be the introduction of the yellow and red cards system, which would ideally prevent some of riders' dangerous behaviour.
"Safety is clearly the most important topic for the sport at the moment, for the UCI and for all the different stakeholders," Lappartient told Cyclingnews. "I think 38 WorldTour riders have crashed and been injured since the start of the year. That’s a lot."
