A car drove head onto into a peloton full of pro cyclists during Etoile de Bessèges. Here’s what happened and the damage that was done!

A little about myself:
New to my channel? I’m an average recreational cyclist that recently moved from America to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The Vuelta España and The Tour of Catalunya will all be held here in Spain!
Sometimes I race and when I do, I share my training with you along the way. So far, I’ve done crit racing, road racing and gravel racing. I haven’t done a duathlon or a triathlon yet, but it is something I am thinking about!
So far in Spain, I’ve seen DSM cycling, SD Worx, Team Jayco Alula, Ineos, Arkea cycling, UAE team emirates and more all training here. Did you know there’s also a GCN studio here?

What do you think the UCI should do about situations like this?
If this is a continuing problem with this race it needs to be dropped from the schedule. All those teams that pulled out will probably not be back next year, anyway.
😂😂, more like e-twahl duh be-sesj. This incident was absolutely nuts. The team has to cover his wages and recovery, they should sue. They were right to stop riding.
A race should not be held unless the organizers can guarantee the safety of the riders from such incidents! The racers have many obstacles to face from bad roads to road furniture, overly ecstatic fans and what not! If race organizers cannot guarantee the safety of the riders from such incidents, it should not be a sanctioned race!
The governing bodies should have the safety of riders during a sanctioned race at the forefront! Hopefully such reforms will be coming very soon!
I have a problem with your video title. It makes it seem like the car actually crashed into the cyclists.
