The Baloise Belgium Tour organisers have introduced a new system of enlarged air cushions as barriers for finishes which could prove much more practical for races to transport from one stage to another, as well as safer for the riders.
The new-style air cushions were first used on stage 2, Wielerflits reports, a stage won by Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) in a bunch sprint.
