@Libertine Seguros I can't quote your message since it's just quoted messages. So I'll tag you here.

That yellow barrier says it's a corner. Says nothing about slowing down because the road, the tarmac, is dangerous. So as a rider you see that yellow sign, you think alright I have to slow a bit down because the corner is quite sharp. And then suddenly your wheel moves underneath you because of bumps.

That barrier doesn't indicate or is interpreted as the tarmac is dangerous.
So apparently Jonas already knew this corner was dangerous and had contacted Safe Cycling. So why did he take such great risks on the descent despite his knowledge?
Why didn't he communicate this to his fellow pros?
He has big status in the peloton. This was nowhere near the finish or any important part of the race.

The riders sometimes self-neutralize already, why not yesterday.

Its an unfortunate racing incident.

It says he contacted them 6 months ago too when the route was only announced a month or so back?

Instead of contacting the race organisers and riders he contacted 'Safecycling' a for-profit organisation with 900 instagram followers who make their money selling race apparatus to organisers.

Not adding up
