Riders really need all the visibility they can get. Absolutely. That video from behind was awful, the motor riders just disappeared into nothing and so did the riders only a few meters in front of the camera.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted July 19, 2018 #412 Share Posted July 19, 2018 And apart from visibility, I'm pretty sure it's not exactly helpful to ride through thick, toxic smoke when competing at the very limit of the human body, with heart rates basically at or near it's maximum and trying to get every bit of oxygen molecules you can get into your system. But no, flares are great.

Dunadan 1,103 Posted July 19, 2018 #414 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They are all idiots but it was the guy with the camera that caused the fall...he suddenly moved towards the centre of the street and Nibali's handlebar was caught in the camera strap. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he finished outside the time limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
