Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

Big hit to UAE if Vine and Soler are out for the TdF. If so, who will be Pogi's main helpers?

Especially Yates. Though if he recovers in time? Need an update on injuries. Horrible crash. Reminds me of that one in the Tour a few years ago in Brittany small lanes where a woman held out a cardboard sign for cameras and brought down half the peloton. Grand Tour crashes seem to be worse for some reason. Tense peloton maybe.
 
They need to ban and marshall those coloured flares. They are becoming a craze, are every climb now.

Wonder if police would have legal grounds to arrest on assault (directly to the lungs).

Meanwhile, I'd love to see nearby fans intervene. It's assault on them, too. I know, asking a lot of courage with all the crazies out there these days. But it'd sure be fun to watch the flare folks get what's coming to them on live TV.

Here's a fantasy for you: The Flare Response Unit launches a drone that drops a containment dome over the flare and its holder till the K9 unit gets there.

What happened to that woman? I think she got arrested at least. How stupid and self-centered can you get?

Remember the lady that grabbed Cav's bars in the middle of the final sprint?
