'It has been mayhem' - CPA chief Adam Hansen defends riders for taking action at Giro d'Italia
Cyclistes Professionnels Associes (CPA) president Adam Hansen has branded the Giro d’Italia “mayhem”, calling the wet and cold Stage 10 “a disaster” and praising riders for taking a stance to force the shortening of Stage 13. Rider power has come to the fore at the opening Grand Tour of 2023, with the peloton uniting to get Friday’s 199km route shortened to just 75km. The collective action came days after the riders failed to get Tuesday’s Stage 10 amended despite miserable conditions and sweeping sickness.
