All this threads and discussions about rider safety, and not a single mention of the prescription painkillers they take during the race?
That is a reasonable point of discussion, but since this thread is not in the clinic, we can't talk about it here, even if it may be a large elephant in the room.
I might be wrong, but I thought the clinic was for doping talk? I'm talking about a completely legal and widespread practice that severely limits riders reflexes.
When talking about rider safety, it is good to mention motorbikes, but for every moto related accident there are about 100 that only involve riders.
I know this is slightly off topic, but it would be a pity of an important point like this should be banned to the pit of hell called the clinic...
