more than anything the thing i’m angry about is the fact that this was completely preventable. some risks in sport can be reduced but never completely removed - crashes can always happen, and no amount of safety measures can eliminate the risk of death (though more can always be done). but an unauthorised vehicle on the road at a race like this shouldn’t be possible. riders shouldn’t be left vulnerable enough for tragedies like this to happen. i don’t understand how the first death of this kind didn’t trigger a complete overhaul of the whole system. how is the response to this anything less than the implementation of whatever measures it takes to stop it from happening again. it’s just so horrible
