Urška Žigart, 29-letna slovenska kolesarka, je v hudi nesreči na drugi etapi ženske dirke po Švici utrpela zlom čeljusti. Dogodek je zgodil postal približno kilometer pred ciljem etape v Locarnu. Žigartova je pri visoki hitrosti zapeljala čez cestno oviro za umirjanje prometa, izgubila nadzor nad kolesom in zgrmela prek krmila. Po padcu je negibno obležala na cesti, kar je vzbudilo veliko zaskrbljenost med navijači in spremljevalci dirke. Zdravniški pregledi so pokazali, da je utrpela zlom čeljusti, drugih hujših poškodb pa niso odkrili. Ekipa AG Insurance–Soudal je obvestila javnost o stanju Žigart, kjer so poudarili, da je trenutno na opazovanju zaradi morebitnega pretresa možganov. Zdravniki ocenjujejo naslednje korake za njeno zdravljenje in okrevanje, medtem ko so obljubili, da bodo o naslednjih korakih obvideli, ko bo to primerno.
Nesreča Žigartove ni bila edina v zadnjem času, ki je povzročila ogromno zaskrbljenost v kolesarski skupnosti. Na Vršiču je pri spustu zavzel kolesar, ki je hudo poškodoval. Po prvi oskrbi na kraju nesreče ga je helikopter prepeljal v Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana. Ponesrečencu so pravo pomoč nudili prvi posredovalci in reševalci Gorske reševalne službe Kranjska Gora. Glede na nedostopnost terena je na pomoč priletel tudi policijski helikopter v spremstvu dežurne ekipe za reševanje v gorah z Brnika. Na cesti na Vršič s startom v Kranjski Gori je sicer popoldne potekal 12. vzpon s kolesi pony na najvišji cestni prelaz v državi. Ta dogodek je bil v centru pozornosti, saj gre za tradicionalno dogodnost, ki združuje kolesarje in navijače.
V Irskem je zanimala smrt 16-letnega kolesarja Shana O’Briena, ki je med treningom umrl. Njegov brat Liam O’Brien je po novici zapustil Giro za mlajše kolesarje. Shane O’Brien je bil nadarjeni mladenič, ki je bil uvrščen tudi v irsko mladinsko reprezentanco. Njegov smrt je pretresla celotno irsko kolesarsko skupnost, kjer so mu zapisali, da je bil izjemen talent in pozitiven mladenič. Liam O’Brien, ki nastopa za razvojno ekipo Lidl-Trek, je izvedel o nesreči na dirki Giro Next Gen, dirki po Italiji za mlajše kolesarje. V skupnosti so izrazili občutek, da je Shane imel pred sabo svetlo prihodnost in da bo ostal v njihovih srčih.
Na Škoti je doživel hudo nesrečo škotski kolesar Oscar Onley, ki je zgrmel preko cestne ograde in se skotalil po pobočju navzdol. Padec je razkril šele tekmec po prečkanju ceste. Oscar Onley, član ekipe Netcompany–Ineos, je zgrabil zmago na šesti etapi Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Kljub padcu je prišel v cilj, a ni začel sedme etape. Profimedia je objavil podrobnosti o dogodku, kjer so poudarili, da je Oscar pristal v krošnji drevesa, kar je ustavilo njegov padec in zmanjšalo tveganje za ranjenje. Dave Brailsford, predsednik ekipe, je izrazil zaskrbljenost, a tudi zanesenost v njegovo varnost.
V Primorskih novicah so poročali o nesreči, kjer je voznik traktorja med prehitevanjem zadel kolesarja. Dogodek je zgodil v lokalnosti, kjer je bil zainteresiran tudi medij. Poleg tega so poročali o smrti slovenskega kolesarja na otoku Murter, kar je ponovno poudarilo tveganja, s katerimi se soočajo kolesarji na cesti. Te nesreče so pomenile, da je varnost v kolesarstvu še vedno ključna tema, ki zahteva večjo pozornost in ukrepanje.
Ženski oddelek združenja poklicnih kolesarjev (CPA) je po nesreči Urške Žigart v 2. etapi dirke po Švici izpostavil dvom, da je trenutni varnostni sistem dovolj dober za zaščito tekmovalk. CPA je neposredno udeležen v SafeR, organu, zadolženem za varnost v poklicnem kolesarstvu. V sporočilu za javnost so poudarili, da je ta nesreča znova vzbudila skrbi glede tega, kako se v poklicnem kolesarstvu gleda in ukrepa pri tveganjih. Podpirajo SafeR, a menijo, da so številni resni padci in varnostni incidenti pokazali, da morajo zdajšnji model znova proučiti. Želijo jasnejše strukture, močnejša orodja in večjo avtoriteto pri zaznavanju tveganj in preprečevanju incidentov, preden do teh pride. Ta intervencija je pomembna, ker je CPA neposredno vpleten v zdajšnje vodstvene strukture znotraj Mednarodne kolesarske zveze Uci. SafeR trenutno sestavljajo tri glavne komisije, ki združujejo predstavnike kolesarjev, ekip, organizatorjev dirk in Ucija.

Žurnal24IndependentCenter13 days ago After the terrible accident of the Urska Zigarth: "It's time to"...The accident involving Slovenian cyclist Urška Žigart during the second stage of a race in Switzerland has raised concerns about safety measures in professional cycling. Žigart suffered a jaw fracture after falling at the end of the stage, along with other riders including Sara Casasola, Ginia Caluori, and Maya Kingma. The women’s department of the Cyclists’ Professional Association (CPA) expressed doubts about the current safety system's adequacy in protecting female cyclists. While the CPA supports the SafeR organization, which is responsible for safety in professional cycling, they argue that recent incidents indicate the need for a reevaluation of the existing model. They call for clearer structures, stronger tools, and greater authority to identify risks and prevent accidents before they occur.
