It's a crash, Pogacar is being coddled a bit, riders feeling natural guilt, survivors guilt.. Nobody wants to be the athlete that ends the career of Messi level athletes.. If you are famous for taking out Pogacar or Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, going to get some hate. Pogacar knows the game, he will not make to much of affection with the asphalt.. Move on.. Plus he has his own private unpaid motivational speaker in MJ.. Nobody is at fault, schit happens.
** in American football drastic rule changes, cultural changes to protect the quarterback!! Someone posted about an armband!! In practice quarterback wears a colored helmet and uniform so nobody hurts the guy!! Plenty of rules so you can't be too rough on him..in the 1950s,60s, 70s they picked them up and like wrestling drove their head into the turf!! Videos of Eddy Merckx era, before race radio.. Riders would go down hard, down and out hard and nobody knew until the finish line.. Today's bike racing has some kinder and more gentle aspects.. Like the hand holding the other day!!
