A race director in France has provoked anger after accusing professional female riders and teams of having safety expectations “not in line with their level”
travelling in the opposite direction to the speeding peloton on narrow roads. Cars nearly pulled out into the path of the riders, with motorbikes, pedestrians and other road users also coming dangerously close to the competitors.
The race director, Pascal Baudron, sparked anger among the cycling community by seeming to suggest – before the decision to abandon the race – that the riders and teams did not have the right to expect a completely safe race. Speaking on Monday, the head of the CPA, Adam Hansen, told the Guardian: “His [the race director’s] rolling closure was not up to standard, that’s the main problem ... The UCI regulations on rolling closure are that they must take all the cars off the route ... so that means any moving car has to be taken off.”
