Stefan Küng (32) crashed on the cobblestones in the final of the Omloop Nieuwsblad . He immediately stood next to his bike, his face contorted in pain. And another blow followed in the hospital.
"He has broken his left femur. Due to the location and severity, surgery is necessary," wrote his new employer, Tudor Pro Cycling Team .
Küng will remain hospitalized in Belgium for the time being and will be transferred to Switzerland as soon as possible. He will undergo surgery there early next week.
For the Swiss, who switched from Groupama-FDJ to Tudor this winter and was sent to the classics as a team leader, this is a particularly tough blow. His spring season seems to be over before it has really gotten going.

>unironically yes. if they really care about safety they should ban hookless tubeless wheels and disk brakes.
Also maybe limit the amount of riders depending on road conditions and average road width or something.
Maybe certain dangerous parts of the parcours should have speed limits as well...
Maybe also limit food intake as well. For example, only in the last 50km are riders allowed to use sugar. This will take avg. speed down significantly I think.
100% agree on bringing back rim brakes. Rim brakes are as good at stopping the wheel as disk brakes are. The only difference is that it requires a little more force with your hands so it's harder to lock up the wheel in a moment of panic which is significantly safer. When I took motorcycle classes, they insisted on learning to break with one finger to develop trigger discipline because hard braking is guaranteed crash. I would also ban flared steer tubes because the drops being wider I think it's easier to lock into riders next to you.
I would also maybe force a minimum tyre width of 32mm. It will increase grip, that's for sure.

>>
>>153712334
easiest entries are grand tours since cycling is the most interesting in continuation when you start to be accustomed with its personalities. right now it's classics season - series of one day races. try to watch some big ones, like Strade, Milan - San-Remo, Ronde etc. might be a bit challenging in your time zone though since all of them are in Europe
>>
>>153712334
The reasonable choice is to start with the tour de france, you should get good coverage at home.
The fastest (I wouldn't advise it) is to start playing the fantasy league with us: https://www.velogames.com/

Watch this to start and if you find it boring, cycling is not for you. This is pure chaos racing, in it's purest form. You get kino, aggressive racing and plenty of crashes.
>>
>>153712334
Just start watching it.
Tiz (link in OP) is free and also has an archive of older stuff, so you could watch last weekend's races or last year's Tour de France or whatever tickles your fancy. But you need an adblocker, and sometimes the streams get taken down or don't work.
Idk what other options there are in your country. Vuelta Ciclista del Uruguay begins soon-ish (26 March) and will presumably air on your national TV, and maybe you could even go take a look from the roadside. It's "only" a national level race, so there won't be any of the big names you'd see at the Tour de France, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's less fun to watch.

>Nota di precisazione in merito al 32° Memorial Polese
>In merito alla squalifica di Filippo D’Aiuto al 32° Memorial Polese e alle motivazioni che hanno portato la giuria della corsa a prendere questa decisione il team General Store-Essegibi-F.lli Curia intende precisare quanto segue:
>Filippo D’Aiuto ha preso il via della corsa con una bici regolamentare in tutte le sue componenti. La caduta patita sul tratto di sterrato ha determinato uno spostamento della posizione delle leve che, a causa dell’urto, sono finite a una distanza inferiore a quella consentita.
>Il team prende atto e rispetta le decisioni della giuria nonostante sia fortemente rammaricato per quanto successo, vista la splendida performance di D’Aiuto che ha tagliato il traguardo in solitaria dopo 60 km di fuga.
>Inoltre il team intende ringraziare il Team Hopplà e la SC Padovani Polo Cherry Bank per il gesto di solidarietà durante la cerimonia protocollare.
