Time Trial Bikes Safety

[trigeek]

Yesterday Jonas Vingegaard not only destroyed his competition in the time trial he also destroyed the arguments about time trial bikes. Not only did he prove that these bikes are untouchably fast on a fast road but that they can climb as well. other riders switched to road bikes for the climb and still got beaten badly. These bikes are just as safe as any others when ridden by skilled riders... If you think this is a fluke then how do you explain the hundreds of thousands of miles riden by triathletes on similar or faster bikes with very few problems ? This argument is dead!

Is the safety concern about the individual rider of the TT bike, or about safety of other nearby riders and spectators, etc. ?
