Riders union calls for stricter motorbike safety after rider clipped at Tour de France Femmes

Kathrin Hammes clipped by motorbike at Tour de France Femmes

A riders union has called for motorbike drivers to take more care of rider safety, after a sequence of close passes at this year’s Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. 

During Wednesday’s fourth stage, one motorcyclist came so close to EF Education-TIBCO-SVB rider Kathrin Hammes that he touched and destabilised her. The driver was later issued a 200 CHF (£180) fine.
