The UCI and the key stakeholders in professional cycling have announced a new safety initiative called SafeR - SafeRoadcycling, aimed at improving safety in men’s and women’s races.
The sport has struggled to respond to a growing number of crashes and race incidents in recent years, with the riders, teams, UCI and race organisers often blaming each other and passing the buck. Sadly the recent tragic death of Gino Mäder at the Tour de Suisse has heightened the need for improved safety.
