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.
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?

This is from cyclingtips:
A race official that Jakobsen crashed into was also reportedly
airlifted to hospital. Race director Czeslaw Lang provided an update
on his condition, saying that the official “suffered a head injury but
has already regained consciousness and is now in a stable condition.” -

That's not quite accurate, as Lambrecht landed in a concrete culvert and the impact caused internal injuries. No-one quite knows what happened as no-one else was involved in the crash, nor was it filmed or photographed.

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