A few unnecessary injuries can't stop progress! As everyone keeps saying over and over and over, road racing bikes do not need better braking--your brakes already work well enough to skid a flat spot into your Conti Sprinters without too much effort. Any push for disc brakes on road bikes is coming from the big bike brands in order to sell bikes with different brakes. That's not cool for the riders who are gonna get sliced and diced worse than they would have in a crashy pro race.
Discs are great on mountain bikes and work really well even on inexpensive mountain bikes these days, but on road racing bikes, discs are a fucking joke. But watch for the asswhipes who fund the pro peloton to keep up the pressure for stupid fucking disc brakes on road bikes. Go team.
