Just got home and saw the finish. Um, wow. I hope everyone is eventually going to be alright. That looked very scary.

Anyone Polish on this board who can give us an update? I have no idea what they've been saying.

the issue is not that a downhill sprint is more likely to create crashes, but that it is very likely increases the damage done if there is a crash. Top speed today was likely 20kmh higher than many bunch sprints. That’s not really desirable.
I don't disagree with that but by that logic they should've never make that finish happen in the first place rather than suddenly come to a conclusion they need to drop it despite the fact that nothing dangerous has happened for 10 years.

It doesn't look good. There was a heli at the place so the situation must have been very serious

Horrible move by Groenewegen. We don't want another Bjorg Lambrecht incident in this race.

He should be disqualified and thrown out of the race at the very least.

Ugh, I'm having flashbacks. My last race right before Covid stopped the racing ended in a huge pileup and 3 of us in the hospital. Yeah, I think I'm done with crits and bunch sprints.
