What measures can be taken to ensure that bike races have adequate medical support, and how can we guarantee that medical personnel are equipped to handle the unique demands of cycling-related injuries?
For instance, should event organizers be required to have a minimum number of medical staff on site, or should they be encouraged to partner with local hospitals to provide additional support? Furthermore, what kind of training or certification should medical personnel have to effectively treat cycling-related injuries, such as road rash or concussion?
Additionally, how can we balance the need for medical support with the logistical challenges of providing it, particularly in remote or rural areas where races may take place? Are there any examples of successful models or best practices that have been implemented in other sporting events or industries that could be applied to bike racing?
