familiar uci pattern where they point at minor aspects of equipment sidestepping the bigger story about the bigger conversation about parkour design race organization stuff like that as a consequence of a number of crashes i know i've just spoken about changes like that 200 meters stuff and so forth but the 200 meters finishing straight i don't think that solves the napoli finish the napoli finish had a corner further away than 200 meters a hairpin on cobbles

That is, in my opinion, the subjective take of a UCI safety manager that should look at that and say, that shouldn't be happening.
