Me neither, but I'm also not the expert in road cycling security. Maybe there's some kind of protective clothing that might help. We introduced helmets and mountain bikers have their own safety gear we might adopt. Or maybe the UCI needs to think about letting those riders ride in those densly packed pelotons where one crash or error leads to mass crashes. Or maybe think about how those cars and motorcycles are driving around the peloton or where they are going. Or speed limits for some areas?
