Gear ratio restrictions, safety equipment and targeted events for this season were among the topics addressed in the first meeting in 2025 of the SafeR Supervisory Board, the body tasked with improving rider safety in road cycling.
SafeR was set up in 2023 as a way to bring together teams, race organisers, rider unions and the UCI to work together to improve safety within races, and their activity has been fairly nebulous so far, but the body’s first-ever press release, issued on Friday, shed light on their current focuses and activities.
