Cycling: Ineos owner Jim Ractliffe calls on the UCI on rider safety

“In Formula 1, when Ayrton Senna had his fatal accident 30 years ago in Italy, the governing body decided to transform the safety rules of one of the most dangerous sports in the world and, as a result, to Significantly reduce injuries. This is in stark contrast to cycling. », you can read in Jim Ractliffe's open letter this Friday.

The boss of Ineos is calling for “concrete actions” following the latest falls that hit the world of cycling. He points to the one that occurred during the fourth stage of the Tour of the Basque Country, knocking out Vingegaard, Evenepoel and Roglic.

Jim Ratcliffe is not the first to call for changes. On April 6, Richard Plugge, boss of Visma - Lease a Bike, was frightened by the duration of the implementation of security measures. “I'm tired of it taking so long because we've been talking about it for four years already. I call on the UCI to move forward. I know that David Lappartient (president of the International Cycling Union) is in favor of it. Let’s go,” he said.
