Yeah, a better helmet MIGHT do something, but even if you made the perfect helmet, you're not going to protect the neck of the rider from breaking under the stress of a high velocity impact. Human bodies aren't meant to go, let alone crash, at these speeds. The sport is dangerous, and you can do a bit to lessen the danger, but in the end it's the individual making the choice to put their life on the line to pursue the sport. That choice has to be respected, even if the worst happens. -An Economist03:59

I mean, the whole "no motors" makes sense. So does the whole "don't EPO yourself because that totally defeats the purpose" rule. Beyond that, very few if any of them are in any way necessary.05-08-2026 23:00

...Or, you just don't have stupid rules in the first place! The UCI is a cancer on cycling, and we'd all be better off if it folded.05-08-2026 01:59

Kuss can't really sprint, so I'm not sure why you'd be on his wheel. Not sure how that's "getting in the way", but whatever. I never do that, cause I pretty much always sprint.12-07-2026 03:56

I suppose you can show why the studies on athlete fueling are actually BS, right?11-07-2026 14:16

Not sure how he'd have "gotten in the way" of the sprint and then ended up 9 seconds back, but it's not impossible, I guess.11-07-2026 04:07

Anyone know what he's complaining about? Why would Kuss sprint? He's not going for GC, and if his place is used in the future (doubtful), I doubt 9 seconds will matter.10-07-2026 04:22

That's probably why he didn't care enough to put a shirt on, but the fine is still nonsense.23-06-2026 04:28
