After all that has happened in the cycling world recently, there has much talk of how to make descents safer. It seems these discussions may be brought up once again after stage 5 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia Donne.
Descending from the final categorised climb of the day towards the finish line, the pace was high and the chase was on for the riders. Both Annemiek van Vleuten and Elisa Longo Borghini crashed with the Italian's being particularly scary.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
