Rider Safety - time to act?

[fimm]

.... You may end up with cars and motos stopped in the road then hit by other riders......

I remember thinking when Nibali and Henao crashed that I really hoped that they and their bikes would be out of the road before the next group came through...

Although it does mean we're now discussing the same thing in two separate threads...

What I was hoping for was to extend the conversation, so as not to forget that it isn't just about Brazil or this particular course, particularly as some of the obejctions to any description of the Olympics course as dangerous were to say 'well, it's no more dangerous than Race X'.

Plus this thread was here first.
