Dangerous race finishes banned

-

The UCI has introduced new guidance on finishes to races. These will eliminate dangerous finales such as the one used at the Tour of Poland in Katowice, where Fabio Jakobsen crashed last year. The new rules mean that elevation changes that result in the speed being increased by 15-20km/h are not allowed in finales when sprints are likely. Each race will also be given a safety manager.
