Riders' five-minute safety protest delays start of Giro di Lombardia

Riders delayed the start of the Giro di Lombardia by five minutes in a protest over vehicle-related safety incidents on race courses.

• Riders kept the peloton stationary after the starting flag was waved before setting off for Como.
• Remco Evenepoel told the crowd too many incidents involve vehicles, citing Fin Tarling's death at the Volta a Portugal in August.
• The CPA union urged the UCI to make race organisers take responsibility and act to improve road safety.
• Thomas Gloag and Marcel Camprubi were struck by a police motorcycle at Tre Valli Varesine earlier this week.
