Pogacar crashes into Vingegaard's team car before Tour stage start

Tour de France overall leader Tadej Pogacar suffered a big scare on Thursday when he bumped into the team car of his chief rival Jonas Vingegaard before the start of the 18th stage, a brutal mountain trek from Vif to the Col de la Loze.

He's currently the yellow jersey winner. If the crash was bad enough to take him out of the tour, then what?

I think those team cars are too close and too hazardous to riders. They need to change the way they are able to be out there.

What do you all think?
 
Imagine having your race ruined by this kind of accident? I know that the team cars follow riders when the races is going on to provide mechanical support, nutrition, and tactical communication but the risk they pose is another thing to put into serious consideration. I'm a big advocator of using drones or motorcycle for this and not cars.
