Protestors halt men's road race at cycling worlds | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

Riders cycle down the Royal Mile at the start of the men’s Elite Road Race at the Cycling World Championships in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 6, 2023.

The race was paused with just over 190km of the 271km to go with protesters, whose demands were not known, using glue and paint. Police spread powder on the road surface. David Lappartient, president of world cycling governing body UCI, was at the scene trying to calm the increasingly restless riders.

Once the race restarted the peloton had nearly 200km to roll to the finish line including 10 laps of a 14km circuit in downtown Glasgow.
