In the pro ranks yesterday there was incredible amount of action, but within pro cycling there was a smaller race that has received attention for the worst reasons. At the Spanish Vuelta a Extremadura, footage has emerged of a spectator having her arm out, resulting in a collision of a rider mid-sprint.
"We want to make a call to the responsibility of the public so that accidents like the one experienced at the end of today's stage are not repeated," the organizers of the race shared on social media, alongside footage of the crash. "It is important to keep your distance and not invade the road at the pace of the race." From what is known, only one rider was involved, and luckily with minor injuries only.

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
