Crashes end of career have been caused by spectators being too close to the riders.   How can the mishaps be reduced minimized?

Sometimes riders punch the unruly fans, or become physical

Crowd control?   Education?   Barriers?

Carbon fiber bikes are notorious for disintegrating during crashes.  Well that is good because that means the bike absorbed the impact, not the rider.  Watch:

Congratulations to the Tour de France Winner

Many favorites did not make it to the top podium finish of Tour de France.  To me it was a crash filled tour and those who made it to the podium are those who rode safe.  Earlier, I made blogs on riding safe. But at high speed ride, accidents are more likely to occur.

The crashes were the Tour de France 20ll winner; the crash victims were a pitiful sight...

You may be wondering why the pictures of crashes on the title Tour de France winner.  Why?  Because, the winners who came out were determined by their involvement, non involvement in crashes. That was the story of 20ll Tour de France
