First thanks for expressing your opinion. And indeed lets keep the discussion about commissioners this time. Not any individual rider.
So if your stance is commissioners did their job. Then next time van Aert should just continue to sprint, as that resulting to crash will automatically put Philipsen at fault?
Note that this is actually how it is now. And i deeply disagree with this.
Then again you two are not actually someone i should take too seriously? That is your opinion in regards to safety in pro peloton. I mean you have opinions and i will give you that. But are you two actually claiming you give a damn about improving safety in pro peloton? In what way exactly?
First of all, your concern is preventing collarbone injuries. It has been from the start. Every single post is to prevent the collarbone from getting hurt and now about Roglic’s crash. Your theories and ideas have been debunked by many, many posters towards the airbags to prevent collarbone injuries.
Second, the “collarbone hate” you receive is due to us stating there are more serious injuries. The fact I said the airbag could have potentially saved someone’s life if it was able to be safely deployed and you’re acting like this says a lot about you. What happened, is worse then a collarbone injury.
Third, I’ve actually voiced ways the airbag could work safely in the peloton. I voiced how it could work and technology from books or video games and how it can be incorporated. I voiced how all of this will take time. I also voiced why currently it isn’t safe to be in the pro scene and why only the recreationals use it. I’ve also stated that organizers should fix the barriers and find safer finishes with less turns and downhill at the end. That’s my standpoint on making cycling safer and if you can’t see that, you’re irritated about the past between us which in ways is warranted.
Fourth, I get it. You’re upset Roglic crashed out and what could have been. You want to know something, I’m one of Mark Cavendish’s biggest (if not the biggest) fan on here and I’m upset about his crash in 2014 at the Tour shouldering Gerrans. Why, because it not only derailed his 2014 season but I think ruined his 2015 season due to the sprints he contested at the beginning of the Tour were him starting his sprint for 250-300 m out and Greipel was eating him up alive. But just like Roglic it was Cavendish’s fault and I don’t bring it up every chance I can when crashes occur.
