or they pick the right races that somehow Tadej isn't in, likely Seixas, and Jonas too.06:11

they should allow teams to add to the roster limit if they are adding riders in other disciplines. for example, you can have 30 road riders, 3 gravel, 3 mountain bike, 3 cyclocross. that way a team isn't penalized by losing road riders by expanding into other disciplines. of course it needs to be policed as does a team classify Pidcock, MVDP or WVA as cross, mountain, or what? But that is workable.27-10-2026 14:56

Tadej said it. and he also looked beleaguered after last year's tour, and came back in the world and Lombardia crushing it. and he is also the one that begged to race euros. and is racing a crit end of the month. and to the point below, it is irrelevant. his injuries do not hold a candle to the others mentioned in the headline. Roll's comment is idiotic.27-10-2026 05:26

Wout has the lifetime contract. I think he gets first shot no matter what.26-10-2026 21:09

Tadej had a bad crash. A concussion can be horrific. He also had a stable vertebra break so no threat to his spinal cord and a broken collar bone. This headline, like most on this site, is a joke. To even compare Tadej to the others is ridiculous. Froome: • Fractured right femur (thigh bone) • Fractured hip / pelvis • Fractured right elbow • Multiple fractured ribs • Collapsed lung Lost 2 liters of blood. Hospitalized for 3 weeks. Couldn't get back on a bike for 3 months. And that was limited. On crutches for longer than Tadej was off a bike. Bernal • Fractured vertebrae (spinal trauma) • Fractured right femur • Fractured right patella (kneecap) • Punctured lung & chest trauma • Multiple fractured ribs • Serious facial trauma and broken hand/finger Lost 2.3 liters of blood, hospitalized for 13 days, not on a bike for months. He had a 95% chance of being paralyzed. Jonas • Collapsed lung (Pneumothorax) • Pulmonary contusion (bruising and bleeding of the lung tissue) • Seven broken ribs • Fractured sternum (breastbone) • Shattered collarbone (clavicle) Vingegaard coughed up blood and had lung injuries, including a pneumothorax and pulmonary contusion. He required a chest drain for approximately eight days. This was life threatening. Sorry Bob Roll, and all others, Tadej won't be affected. his accident was minor compared to these. Not saying he should ride. Not saying a concussion isn't serious. but nothing like what these guys went through.26-10-2026 19:57

I didn't say Tadej should ride it. I'm stating HE wanted to ride it and as a matter of fact had to be talked out of it. The other accidents mentioned in this headline were so much worse.26-10-2026 14:02

I'm not downplaying the impacts. He would have been a fool to ride EU. I'm commenting that Roll's position is idiotic - to compare Tadej's two broken bones and a concussion to what Froome/Bernal/Jonas went through and suggest it could hold Tadej back is equally foolish. As bad as it might have been, Tadej's accident was a joke compared to what the others went through.26-10-2026 14:00

yeah your point about accidents happening in a chain of events, not a single event, is key. no police or barriers at a crossing. a car gets on the road. a trailing cyclist doesn't have an escort. no radio and GPS is being used to track stragglers. and tragedy. break one thing in the chain and it could be accident averted26-10-2026 06:49
