What are you on about. Plenty of riders have said it's safer to have some corners in the last 5km. Ofcourse not 10 in the last 3km, or one with 300m to go, but that's the other extreme.

Harold Tejada, sin daños graves tras su caída en el UAE Tour; el huilense espera estar en condiciones de disputar la general
El final de la primera etapa del UAE Tour 2024 se vio empañado por una fuerte caída en los últimos metros. Una de las víctimas fue Harold Tejada, quien tuvo que ser ayudado por su compañero de equipo italiano Michele Gazzoli. El corredor huilense, de 26 años, cruzó el meta subido en la bicicleta...

I can remember Jakobsen commenting on corners in sprints. Not sure about how many meters before finish he was talking about.
I can also remember comments from sprinters in the TDF last year.
But isn’t there an official stance from SafeR on this?

The ITT will sort out his wrist - Unfortunately, Dunbar has a way of being involved in crashes.

Corners or no corners it really comes down to how many riders are still feeling good and in with a chance, and how many risks they are willing to take.
If UCI only awarded points for the 1st 10 places, there would be a lot less chaos. Or maybe just for obvious sprint stages But then I don’t think much of awarding points for 14th place, etc

Dunbar can't take a trick - Crashes on day of his season in 2023 fracturing his wrist and then it was a battle to get fit for the Giro in which he showed a good level. Second race day of 2024 brought down in a crash at Valenciana and withdraws, switched to the UAE tour at the last minute to replace Plapp and then brought down in a crash and fractures his wrist. It will be a battle tobe fir for the Giro. Jayco has suffered too many crashes and illnesses in the first two months of the season.

What happened to Plapp which meant he couldn't do the UAE Tour after all? Read an interview in early/mid Feb where that was still the plan.

A pity, i was curious to see how he'd do here, because he did really surprise me in last year's Giro.

Didn't Dunbar also crash three times in five stages prior to his DNF at the Vuelta? I'm sorry, but if you're going down approximately once every three race days, it's not bad luck, it's bike handling.

You could serve a pizza on this ring.

My knees started to ache out of nowhere.
Thomas had an anything but good (and professional) winter. Partying and drinking.... Going on altitude in january doesn't change that.

What is huge? Honest question, I never know from which point the wind is quite heavy.

Yeah of course, they wouldn't ride in storm terms. Windy only gives 18km/h at the moment, but that's not much difference from 25. And like you said the first part the wind really is head on.

What are the odds UAE is 1 2 3 on the final podium?
