- Yes but nowhere near as big a disaster as the Itzulia last year, different part of safety but it as Mallorca just showed too, riders won’t put up with being forced into avoidable dangers so easily anymore. It will still take a while before organisers realise they will lose out in the end. We are still lucky that most of these are kind of close calls, any one of them could have been deadly (let’s not even discuss numbers). Take the reversing mini for example, had it turned the corner 20 seconds later, the driver would maybe only have looked left as you are taught for this situation because you are not told to check trafic on the right that might be on the wrong side of the road (e.g. overtaking where it’s usually forbidden). It would have accelerated head on into dozens of riders coming at 40, 50 or more km/h, not much remains whole then.
- So much for the locals being massacred then. I guess as long as we continue to have access to the artificially low priced exploited ressources there and can enrich ourselves on stock markets investing in arms manufacturers, worrying about sports events is about the most upsetting thing that can happen to us right?
- Shame but kind of justified, might be the only way to get organisers and UCI to start doing more from their side, and no-one is asking the world.
- What a disaster this has turned out to be, considering that basically half of the peloton have abandoned the race in protest. Things are not looking good for the race's organization.
- Oi! Get it together UCI. Relocate now. Racing is dangerous enough without being Km's from an active war zone!
- Good job! It's been a long road since his accident.
- Thanks, it wasn’t showing early on, sometimes the site has posting delays, it refreshes very badly and gets confused when people edit.
GB really doesn’t want to promote cycling, you see it at every level, maybe drivers are lobbying against making cycling too popular, haha.
- Everyone wants to grab a slice of pie, hapoened in boxing, happening in golf now, trying to happen in club football. Will we need to add undisputed champion in cycling too one day?
- see above, I did, not sure why it didn't come as a reply.
- she was only riding mountain, a little gravel, a little cross. she didn't do any road riding, so she didn't need a team. it seems they didn't want to build a road team around her.
