What do you think of the UCI banning team celebrations? 🤔
Just ban mass racing and keep it time trials only.
Removes all extraneous factors interfering with your performance. Since most safety issues are due to the interactions of riders in a competitive situation, banning group races solves all these problems.
Some sports keep it individual events only, I see no reason why all sports can’t do the same. Downhill racing, shooting sports etc. no mass racing no problem
Celebration in a way that causes a danger that would not have been present without that celebration is bad judgement.
Totally Crazy new rules!
The UCI are becoming nothing more than the fun police!
UCI doesn’t ride
Nike, give me some Air Force One bike shoes!!!!
I agree with the ban on team mate celebrations – it's a pain in the ass for other riders – this wasn't really a problem before rider radios !🤔👍🏻🚴🏻♂️
good rule
You're not allowed to decelerate after you're done with your lead out? Wut?
UCI is taking “The Fun Police” literally. 😢
I guess the UCI wants to appear that they’re doing something for rider safety without fixing the worst issues of road safety
GOOD!!!……ALL cycling should just be on Zwift! it'll keep cycling super safe! IDIOTS!!!…..The sport is becoming so sanitized and devoid of it's history and turning the sport into a video game!
UCI should look for other things than celebrating teammates. This takes out the fun watching a finish of a race. There hasn't been any accident right? It's a BOTCH!
I think that the first across the line should only celebrate. Not for safety reasons.
Yeah- nuf dese in-your-face stage finishes. Up there with NFL boodie shakin'.
Celebrations cost time and are not aero! Ban them!
Let’s just move the whole sport onto Zwift
UCI got tired of seeing Pogacar celebrate.
I don't want to see another guy raising his arms other than the winner.
Dan comparing a futbol celebration to a lead out rider slowing down is just dumb. As far as I know opposing team players are not near the players in the futbol celebration.
More safety washing by the UCI. It is easier to make meaningless changes in the name of safety rather than doing anything serious and effective
Let me just say it ! They UCI need's to go away before they kill the sport for good
Using that celebration photo of the Rangers at Ibrox is definitely a highlight😂
Quick answer: UCI is more boring than the NFL, and also doesn't understand what the hell they need to fix, so they're trying to flex control over stupid crap to justify their dumb ass jobs.
UCI, the fun police
Teammates celebrating always looked stupid to me.
I fully support the ban on celebrations. Unlike cycling, football involves unique risks that make such comparisons inappropriate when considering player safety.
Ask NBA how banning emotions is working for them
Rides a bike and tempts death itself at 70k/hr downhill in the rain. Also can't throw a fist up in victory after suffering for hours…
UCI are back, banning things 😂
I didn't watch this video only because I read about this 3 days ago. I have mixed feeelings about this new rule. On one hand it makes sense because you have teammates throwing their hands up in celebration as their teammate wins a bunch sprint which is a sudden decrease in speed but on the other hand its just another example of the UCI doing the absolute bare minimum to keep the safety of the riders a top priority. UCI has always been a joke and each year it makes up new and usually stoopid and worthless rules when there are other things that could be changed to keep the riders safe but this rule isn't as stoopid as some previous rules put into play in previous seasons. This one makes a bit more semse to me than some of the other rules that have been implemented in previous seasons
🤘🏻🏴
BOTH HANDS UP FOR UCI's INCOMPETENCE AND DOING THE ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM ONCE AGAIN!!!
🤘🏻🏴
Bugger about Caleb. Grass is always greener on the other side, unless its astroturf 😉
maybe the uci should be banned
This video shows the text regarding the new rules and I’m staggered at how badly GCN have misinterpreted it… it’s not about celebrating… it’s about suddenly slowing down in the middle of bunch sprint for any reason.
How did you conclude this from ready that Dan?
More regulation from another European governing body? Say it isn't so!!
For those that require sub titles your little ads at bottom cover the sub titles
please ban the finish line!!!!! you start and you have to find the arrive in a range of 150km. it is more safe: no sprint at all.
when football players celebrate a goal the game has stopped, pretty poor comparison tbh
What is the confusion? You can see with your own eyes when it’s putting surrounding and following riders at risk. Muppets with arms raised “look at me, look at me” at the worst time and place. Too harsh?
