  • Is a railway line better or worse than a load of spectators who would ordinarily be there. The scandal, frankly, is the UCI not banning riders who deviate so much for longer and sending a strong message. I’m sure Groenewegen has previous for this but I can’t recall exactly when to look it up.

  • Steel and concrete don’t tend to move as much as humans, who are softer, too. Spectators take their chances being there knowing what can happen. I know what I’d rather crash into at 60kph.

    A solid ban for a big deviation like that would be a good move and might well happen before the dust settles

    And this a year on in the same tour where Lambrecht died crashing into a concrete barrier.

    It doesn't seem like this setup made this incident any worse but it's not exactly reassuring is it.

    Glad to hear Jakobsen is on the mend. Has there been any news about the judge?
