    1. In F1 they use different types depending on road status. Something to think about. Crashes in general 1) Better clothing 2) Less participants 3) Less communication distractions 4) etc

    2. Does the medics on the teams use some types of spray or applications on the bruises on the cyclists to destroy the bacteria from the asphalt on the road

    3. Why can't we have a yellow/red flag system like F1? Yellow flag, slow decent when it rains, breakaway gets their time gap at the top back. People will die with these endless horrible crashes. This has to stop.

    4. I think they should cancel the rest of the Dauphiné And probably the tour de france also or better yet…. Let's cancel the rest of the racing season! Because someone could get hurt You know.

    5. Super stiff carbon fiber bicycles and wheels don't offer much of a compliant ride. It doesn't absorb road irregularities as much as steel framed bicycles, so crashes will happen.

    6. Irresponsible of the race organizers to not protect the riders. If they know the road conditions are so poor, so slick, and there are fast descents, they need to postpone. To endanger the riders like this is unethical.

    7. Damn it… Roglic and Evenepoel can't catch a break this Spring… they jjust have the worst possible luck 🙁 I swear Pogacar has the highway wide open in front of him for the Tour at that point… 🙁
