Raced at high speeds with only a helmet and some lycra for protection, cycling is a dangerous sport where split-second crashes can have dramatic consequences in the form of injuries and fractures that can rule riders out for weeks or months.

Given crashes are, unfortunately, part of racing and training that means every team in the peloton has a list of injured riders to look after at some point during the season. Plus, even though rider safety has been an increasingly prominent topic in recent years, the number of crashes so far in 2026 points to the issue still being as present as ever.
