Herman12 Posted February 12 Share Would love to hear your thoughts on the 2024 Monte classic. Great race, lovely route but a few things really irked me yesterday. Seeding. I know this is a boring topic by now but really guys. Yesterday was the worst that I have ever experienced in a road race and actually unsafe. Trying to carve through inexperienced riders who clearly did not belong in the earlier start blocks was downright dangerous resulting in a lot of swearing and unpleasantness. Head phones. The organisers really have to be stricter on this. Leading a peloton at speed and trying to get the attention of riders wearing earphones is extremely dangerous and unsafe. Not having start batches printed on race numbers? I am sure many good peeps decided to sneak up the ladder, knowing that no one would call them back. Come on Team Monte. This race has the makings of a great event and certainly one that I will do again, but we have to be a little bit more professional in applying the rules. This is a race not a fun rides with total road closure where one would expect the odd, odd ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
