At the moment the people who organize bike races are speaking. You ask yourself: How can we make the races safer? We want fewer falls.

The most famous cycling race is called the “Tour de France”. The boss of the “Tour de France” says: I want to use yellow and red cards for cycling races. Just like in football. The head of the World Cycling Association also wants that.

They say: If you don’t pay attention and, for example, bump into another driver, you get a yellow card. This is a warning for the driver. Two yellow cards or particularly dangerous driving means a red card. Then a driver is no longer allowed to take part.
