This year’s Giro did not start well for Roglic
The dangers on Gir continued on Italian roads, not just Albanian.
Cycling is becoming an increasingly dangerous sport, and should be discussed much more than only with the most important races or when accidents have happened.
Yes, cycling is an outdoor sport. Sports that always have the most spectators, because the tribune is also stretched two hundred kilometers and more. At such a distance, however, many things can happen.
For example, a goat that had previously grazed on the lawn by which Peloton went among the cyclists.
This happened in the third stage of Gira when he hosted in Albania.
Then a little later an unprepared dog who escaped the entire majority.
This time everything ended happily, but how little can be missing until an accident with a tragic end.
Accidents are already happening in Italy
Giro moved from Albania to Italy after the third stage. The Italians are already used to Gira, as it is the biggest annual sporting event in the country. But some have already begun to bother this event fairly. Take a look at what these two obniques have afforded at yesterday’s sixth stage.
However, nature is also a danger. Yesterday at the rainy 6. The stages saw a mass fall as we have not been in a long time. The asphalt suddenly icy, the road became an ice rink. In the fall, the worst was right away Roglic The best assistant for mountain stages, Australian Jai Hindleywinner of Gira 2022!

After the fall, cyclists protested, the road was too dangerous to continue the race. But the judges did not let themselves, after a good half an hour, even with Roglic, the sixth stage of the race continued. The judges have decided that after the stage, only the winner would be announced, who would not gain any points on the finish line or bonification seconds. They also did not take into account the flying Red Bull Milometer Flying target, which is a novelty in the race this year.
