Concussion Protocol ignored by UCI
Paris Nice. George Bennett crashed, smashed the back of his helmet off, staggered around doing the textbook definition of dazed and confused. UCI response? Back on your bike, carry on like nothing happened!
No excuses here, just unacceptable.

Agreed, they don't care. Worse than FIFA, and that takes some doing. Too many vested interests.
It's probably time we all moved on as fans from celebrating pro cyclists being hard as nails too - you know, applauding riders finishing covered in road rash and worse, riding an entire grand tour with a broken pelvis or collarbone that sort of thing. MotoGP is the same - there was so much pressure for Marc Marquez to come back quickly from his injury and as a result he needed further surgery to save his arm.
Another example on the BBC today - Elinor Barker and Kirstie James talking about appalling attitudes to endometriosis, and the toxic culture in cycling in general - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/56276626
