Great work - again - Daniel. Loving the quality and quantity of your output on here.
My thoughts: disunity has been an issue in the pro-peloton for as long as I can remember. That's not surprising - though as mentioned by Daniel, you think they could unite for rider safety.
I'll also play devils advocate here. I'm quietly confident that if the 2025 TDF experienced two consecutive stages where motor vehicles entered the course (and it would never happen), that Teams would be reluctant to quit the race.
Thanks for this Dan, and we are fortunate to have had you at the race in person. As Michael points out above, there have been safety issues in bigger races. Besseges is a tiny race, not under the “safety” of the ASO, RCS, or Flanders Classics. It’s easy for the big teams to just walk away. Not so much for St Michel Auber93, Nice Metropole, Van Rysel Roubaix, etc. These teams need these races. I don’t have the answers, but we need Besseges more than AlUla.
