Richard Plugge calls for faster implementation of security measures. Wout Van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard have both suffered serious falls.

Plugge: “We have a ready-made solution with SafeR (a body set up by the UCI) But everyone slows down, whether for reasons of ego or politics. We have already had enough warning signs.” “I applaud ASO’s initiative to change the approach to the Arenberg Gap. It's courageous. Good or bad solution, it doesn't matter. At least it's moving,” he said.
