Note to ALL race organisers. We won't stand for it much longer! Downhill starts, dangerous circuits, crazy decents and your pathetic apologies afterwards. We want to RACE! Not dodge potholes, islands, road furniture. As a cyclist watching today, I felt sorry for the riders racing
Red card today for the organization of the Tour de Wallonie. Circuit much too dangerous for a sprint finish, road in bad condition, too many traps on the side of the road. Always reacted when there is a death or serious injury. making it safe for runners is not a priority?
