The Étoile de Bessèges race was marred by safety incidents, leading to the withdrawal of eight teams initially, followed by Kern Pharma's exit due to safety concerns. These protests were sparked by events where unauthorized vehicles entered the race course, causing crashes and injuries. The situation escalated when teams refused to race after additional incursions. In response, the UCI has begun an investigation into these safety failures, and the CPA plans to aid smaller race organizers in improving race safety protocols.
Due to the incidents of the last two days and in the absence of complete safety guarantees, we have made this decision a priority to take care of the health of our cyclists and technical staff.
After the situation in the last few days. The CPA within SafeR will push a new deliverable for the top race organisers to help share their knowledge with the smaller organizers.
