Former double Giro d'Italia winner and former world champion Giuseppe Saronni has called on the riders to take responsibility for their actions, to limit the intrinsic risk of racing, and so reduce the chance of crashes.
Saronni was one of the patrons of the Italian peloton in the eighties as he battled with Francesco Moser. He then became a television commentator and team manager, and has always spoken his mind about racing and safety.
