Riders stage safety protest before Giro di Lombardia: ‘We will not stand for this’ - 低调看球

• Peloton’s Evenepoel highlights death of Finlay Tarling

• ‘We cannot keep accepting riders getting injured or dying’

Riders at the Giro di Lombardia staged a brief protest on Saturday, delaying the start of the race by five minutes to draw attention to safety concerns following a series of incidents involving non-race vehicles.

After organisers completed the countdown for the start, the peloton remained stationary, creating a moment of confusion before Remco Evenepoel addressed the crowd. “There’s too many incidents happening with vehicles in the race,” said Belgium’s double Olympic champion.
