“There are also unwritten rules that should be respected” - it is a total BS. There is only one rule in cycling - whoever crosses the finish line first -> wins. (or who has lower cumulative time, most points - depending on type of race/tour)10:46

> Tadej Pogacar puts family first (...) Family second rather, first was Tour de Suisse. If something goes first you put other things aside.22-06-2026 10:09

> Sure, those type of barriers can pose a risk, but the riders were nowhere near the barriers when the crash occurred. No. It actually started from the (Bahrain Victourius? - on the very left in TV transmission - guy in green) rider who was pushed to the barriers and when you go frame by frame his rear wheel probably slipped on a barrier leg.09-05-2026 13:07

Wider handlebars and lower gear ratio will solve the problem. Is that true, UCI? IS IT?09-05-2026 11:44

But the problem is that UCI change mind quite quickly, it is from another article: > Van Schip pointed out that he'd recently raced the UCI-classified Ronde van Overijssel with the same handlebar set-up, without any action from the authorities.08-05-2026 13:19

> And your point about boring racing reveals your ignorance. Ignorance? By stating a FACT? > Physiological differences mean that the racing cannot be the same in both sports. Physiological differences are take care of - women's races are much shorter and tours have less stages. But physiological differences make them racing in boring way? There's something I do not know about? What's more - seems only road cycling is boring. Women in XCO or CX are great and they really fight.27-04-2026 16:54

"Women's sport deserves so much more." NOPE Women deserves what they deserves, period. Broadcasts even now are too long so many people just skip the first part. Why? Boring racing style - almost always till the end they all ride in peleton. You want more broadcast, more TV viewers, more money? Then start riding in a way that gets the fans excited - this is how you make many in this sport.27-04-2026 14:45

You know... such a device would increase race safety. And this all UCI cares about, right? ;-)27-04-2026 12:57

And yet when we look at statistics it is not "religion like any other" anymore.16-04-2026 08:49
