No, wants banning for the rest of the year. No excuse, he put a man's life in danger.

Not sure. Some dopers get less and are worse. Month would be enough. It was probably a bad split-second decision at a time when everyone is rusty but gagging for wins.

The doper is only putting his own life in danger. Actions like this can maim or kill someone. Make the penalty high. There's no excuse IMO.

I'm not too sure he actually meant to cause the crash,yes what he did was dangerous...life threatening.But he has to watch that back and realise what he did ! ,banning him for life helps nobody.
More important is a recovery for Jakobson fingers crossed.

That's not true: the doper is making others think they must dope to win, thereby endangering others. It's harm+fraud, so should carry a harsher penalty than this overt harm.

We'll have to disagree on this.

Just in case this is a reference to my original post you will see that I was not suggesting a life ban.

Wasn't really to you,your entitled to your opinion though.More the knee jerk reaction to him.I seem to remember Sagan doing similar with Cav.Touch wood it wasn't as serious as this.Still put him out of action though.Think I'll leave the nit picking of what sentence he gets till Jakobsen has hopefully made a recovery.Some slightly better news.

One more thing I'm not too sure having a downhill sprint is such a great idea !

He remains in an induced coma according to BBC.
it was a very nasty move to close such a large gap so quickly.

I have seen the video of the incident and seen it discussed in a few places. My first thought was the barrier issue. That seems to be ignored elsewhere. Glad to see CC readers are thinking like me!

There was a similar issue with old fashioned piles of tyres forming tyre walls and tyre barriers in formula 1. Cars would hit them and be "grabbed" by the individual stacks of tyres. They then came up with what is basically a conveyor belt along the tyre wall that stops the cars snagging the stacks, contains the tyres and spreads the loading.

Perhaps a similar thing is needed here. You could print it with adverts nodoubt.

Dylan apologises

I ran the "apology" through Google Translate.... maybe it hasn't done a good job in translating and some nuances have been missed.

"I hate what happened yesterday. I can't find the words to describe how sorry I am for Fabio and others who have fallen or been hit.

At the moment, the health of Fabio is the most important thing. I think about him, constantly."

To me that sounds like someone who has watched it on TV but had nothing to do with what actually happened.

Fractured clavicle for Groenewegen. Artificial coma for Jakobsen.
