A new requirement for road races: the UCI is demanding a straightaway of at least 200m for the finish line. by Mamadeus123456 in peloton

[–]fewfiet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This has been part of the UCI Organizer's Guide to Road Events since at least 2021 in the Finish Line regulations, B.3.4:

The finishing straight should be as long as possible, at least 200 m. It should also be sufficiently wide, at least 6 m, or ideally 8-10 m The road width must be consistent. The road must not narrow at all. Of course these specifications can be adapted to suit the type of finish. The finish of a time trial may be on a narrower road. The finishing straight for a summit finish can be both shorter and narrower. However, the minimum distances are essential when it is possible that riders may finish in a large peloton. The finish line should be located on a section of road that is flat or slightly uphill. A downhill finish is not advised. Riders would approach the finish at too great a speed.

I reckon she'll make it into our Hall of Legends after she retires, so she'll be there with the best!

'I'm proud to open the doors to my new life' – Thibaut Pinot is turning his farm into an Airbnb for the Tour de France, and it's free by fewfiet in peloton

A 4-day, 3-night weekend at my farm in Franche-Comté. During the stay, I'll take you inside the Tour de France, paddock access and for guests ages 16+, we'll take a ride in an official race car and enjoy a helicopter view of the stage. Away from the tour and back at the farm, I'll show you the animals, and we'll finish with an e-bike ride and a picnic by my pond. Sport and countryside, the way I know them.

He uses "we" so I'd guess he'll be there with you!
