Messed up crash for Magnus Cort Nielsen in the finish of stage 1 at the Tour de Yorkshire a few minutes ago:

 

 

Good news is he was walking away by himself, bad news is it looked like he broke his collarbone.

And he's not even the only one this week. 2014 Namibian champion Raul Costa Seibeb (25) was killed in a car accident.

Yep, a crash in a descent. Followed by the Giro d'Italia organizers announcing a new 'best descender' classification. 

 

Have they lost their fucking minds? Are they blind? Idiotic? Retarded maybe?

Yes, it's the big news of the cycling world in the last days, most cyclists have already expressed their concern and anger. It's the Premio Miglior Discesista, where they choose 10 stages with a 'descending segment', and the rider who is the fastest on that segment gets the points.
