Richard Plugge, the manager of the former Tour de France winner, Jonas Vingegaard, has criticised cycling’s governing body, the UCI, for a lack of action following the death of Fin Tarling 10 days ago and said that cycling’s leading teams should take responsibility for ensuring safety in races. The lack of anger about what has happened is very disappointing to me.” Tarling was killed during the Volta a Portugal when he was descending mid-race in pursuit of the peloton and collided with a non-race vehicle coming towards him on the race route, despite the road closure. That a car is suddenly driving on the track in the opposite direction?
Bu, əslində velosiped yarışında olur. “Amma”dan sonra hər şeyi atlamalıyıq. Bu sadəcə olaraq baş verə bilməz”. Jonathan Vaughters, the manager of the EF Education Easy Post team, has also called for a reduction in the number of races on the professional racing calendar.
600 günlük yarışa ehtiyacımız yoxdur. Other sports do now want to spread themselves so thin. How about consolidating resources and having 100 days or racing all of which are safe?” While a formal investigation into Tarling’s death is now under way, neither the UCI nor the Portugese Cycling Federation (FPC) have been willing to comment any further, particularly on media statements made by the Portugese police (GNR) which confirmed that Tarling had been isolated and racing without a police escort.
Keçən həftə avstraliyalı atlı Maeve Plouffe Britain Women Tour-da yarışarkən onu az qala maşın vurduğunu söylədikdə, yolların bağlanması yenidən vurğulandı. Təşkilatçılar sadəcə düşünürlər ki, heç nə baş verməyibsə, hər şey yaxşıdır”. Plugge iddia edirdi ki, idmançıların təhlükəsizliyinə prioritet verməklə bağlı ardıcıl uğursuzluqlar bir çox yarışların strukturunda dəyişikliklərin qaçılmaz olması demək idi. Sürücülər əmin olmalıdırlar ki, onlar təhlükəsiz yolda yarışa bilərlər”.
