broken teeth? collarbones? pelvis? thigh? The only workable prototype of a cycling airbag we have seen would have done nothing to help. But anyway, it would at least be a step in the right direction. Better than nothing. But not enough.

Airbags seem to be a good idea, but which one of these injuries would have been prevented if the riders had worn them? And which crashes were caused by reckless riding? The only "dumb/avoidable" crashes I saw were caused by riders trying to put on or remove their raincoats. And the consequences...

Almeria would have been a good race to test airbags 🙁

OMG Why didn't you tell that to Roman Bardet ten years ago?? https://www.lemonde.fr/cyclisme/article/2017/07/28/cyclisme-apres-avoir-tutoye-les-sommets-romain-bardet-cherche-a-se-reconcilier-avec-le-chrono_5166181_1616656.html Romain Bardet « J’ai fait le choix de ne pas me concentrer dessus...

And a spoiled brat mentality. Overpaid youngsters, everybody only riding for themselves. <insert names here>

Would Dyneema fabrics have prevented or at least reduced road rash?

Insane speeds. Fastest TTT ever?

Yes great film by GCN. Very, very sad how clueless Lappartient appears to be on this topic. Trentin, however, is spot on about everything he says 👍

Looks cool indeed. I wonder if race organizers could do something like that in an evening prologue (or inside a building). Then showing each riders in slow-mo passing through. I know it's just a gimmick, but it would really add some good visuals for TTs if done right.

You missed the Malaysian guy who was second on a Langkawi stage. Happiest 2nd place this year!

Langellotti Poland stage 6 comes to mind. Other than that? Only Wout in Paris and Skjelmose's Amstel will be remembered for 2025. (Ok maybe Ventoux, too) Edit: Powless at Dwars MUST be remembered! 😆

Youngest monument top 10 since ... ?

Bora too strong

All of them. No bronze medalist. 😆

Just move it to an authoritarian state. No protesters. "Everybody" happy
