Race organisers are ruining general classification racing..and poor course design is to blame. Repeated last-minute neutralisations, point to one thing: the UCI and organisers aren't ensuring closing kilometers are safe, and it's starting to undermine the legitimacy of the racing itself.
In this episode of Unclipped, Grace explores why it's race organisers — not riders — ruining general classification racing.
This weekend at the Vuelta, the final stage into Granada was neutralised on the last lap over safety concerns — the latest in a pattern of late-notice neutralisations this year.
The online discourse says riders need to toughen up. Grace disagrees, and makes the case for why these decisions are coming far too late — and what it means for the future of GC racing if that doesn't change.
