Tour Féminin des Pyrénées stopped after two days of dangerous incidents and rider protests calling for better safety in the peloton cycling TourPyrenees
After two days of peloton's safety concerns due to oncoming traffic, parked cars and trucks blocking roads, hazardous motorbikes, and spectators wandering on the roads, rider protests calling for better measures have resulted in UCI calling off the CIC-Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées in its final stage.
The CPA's statement, written by Adam Hansen read:"During the first stage of the CIC-Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées, the safety conditions were deemed highly dangerous due to the excessive presence of cars on the road, some even driving towards the riders. This created a significant panic among the women cyclists and caused a media storm, which has had a negative impact on the image of women's racing.
The team managers also voted on the matter, with 9 managers deeming it too dangerous to race and 9 in favour of continuing.
