Let's talk about the Moto's influencing the race for a bit. For the fans bashing riders for riding behind the Motos, that's unfair. The riders are free to ride anywhere on the roads. For races that have Motos too close or just everywhere, that's not the riders fault. It's the organization of the vehicles in front of the race that is handled badly, again not the riders fault. It's first a race, not a movie production set. Do the riders want the Motos not influencing the race? Of course they do, we hear comments all the time and we always bring it up at each meeting. Even the organizers has expressed to improve safety, is to decrease the speed of the riders, where the CPA has always replied, the fastest way to slow down the bunch is not to have the Motos so close to the bunch. Which is a lot easier than trying to enforce correct hand position.
Again, all riders want more distance between Motos and the front bunch, riders should not have to navigate to make sure they are not directly in the draft of a moto. Please fans, it's the motorbikes fault, not the riders. Respect the riders, their job is hard enough and then to read on social media that they get disrespected because they have a motorbike in front of them is not fair.
Maybe the CPA might create a fund raiser for the production crew to buy a zoom for their cameras on these motorbikes. As it's unfair how much they influence the race speed, the results and on the other riders.
Le rôle des motos sur certain passages clés! Poggio modélisé pour l'attaque de Pog ( 38 kmh moy). Bien aligné dans la configuration optimale, l'économie peut être de 128 watts. Bien sur ce n'est pas constant mais l'avantage est là. @Valent1_Paret https://t.co/mvlrj6d4g4

Today, the man who has been through heaven and hell, who is a crowned king of Roubaix (as there is a sector named after him), and who still has at least one excellent classics season ahead of him as he approaches the end of his career...
Alles gute zum Geburtstag, John Degenkolb! 🎂
🎙 Décla / 🇦🇺 Michael Matthews (JAY) : "Décembre servait autrefois à accumuler des heures tranquilles et à rattraper ce qu’on n’avait pas le temps de faire pendant la saison. Maintenant, décembre ressemble à l’ancien janvier : on travaille déjà au seuil. Les temps ont changé, c’est sûr."
