Hey,
Everybody can see that crashes are up this year. 99 riders
have crashed at least once by stage 7. The Tour de France
in 2004 will quite possibly have the most crashes since
they used to use those handlebar attachments about 6 years
back. There is speculation the UCI requirement of all
riders must now wear crash helmets in the races has given
them a false sense of security. The cyclists now think that
because they have increased protection against head injury,
that they can increase the chances they are taking.
Thanks, Ronde Champ
