Giro d'Italia: Milan safety row ends with GC neutralisation compromise

Stage 15 in Milan sparked a safety dispute as rough city streets prompted Jonas Vingegaard to push for neutralising GC times. After talks with race director Vincente Tortajada Villarroya and RCS Sport, riders and organizers reached a compromise to neutralise GC times on the final lap, a move supported by the peloton’s CPA representatives. Giro CEO Paolo Bellini criticised the riders for going “too far,” arguing the course was safe and GC times could have been taken earlier. Norwegian Fredrik Dversnes won the stage, and the episode leaves questions about safety on future Giro roadracing.”,
