just got around to watching the algarve finish and HAH. but seriously everyone involved riders and crowd both were so lucky it wasn't so busy
#is fining race organisers the best move when these problems (like at besseges) are caused by LACK of money?#or lack of training/personell (all of which require money)#like. all races require a lot of organisation and support from local authorities#but beyond advertising they don't make ANY money. can't sell tickets to a public road#and i do NOT think cycling should be ticketed no WAY that would ruin a lot of things#but like. does the uci provide training materials/info to race marshals so they're all informed of standards and best practices?#i don't know what they do but from a complete outsiders perspective it feels like the race organisers sometimes get too much schtick#they deserve some schtick because. you had One job (especially if it's a big race. Glares at vuelta)#but .1s /.2s like. they're gonna be on small/shoestring budgets and the sport of cycling as a whole needs these smaller races#like the wt (and certain teams/races within the wt) cannot keep growing/getting further and further from the rest of the sport#without adequate support for the rest of the sport#sorry just thinking out loud#partially about the demise of british road cycling teams that aren't ineos and british cycling's mismanagement of TOB#and like. when small French races too are struggling it's not a good sign :_
