The Giro continued without the Leopard Trek rider🐓s on Wednesday for the fifth stage from Piombino to Oriveto.
Race director Angelo Zomegnan praised the riders and has reiterated𒁏 that safety will always be a priority.
Some riders are worried about the difficult descent of the Crostis climb on stage 14 but Zomegnan confirmed that the technical rac🎃e director Mauro Vegni will travel to the Friuli region and study the descent to consider extra safety measures.
“The Giro will continue thanks to the responsibility shown by the riders. What has happened has changed them,” Zomegnan told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I noticed a huge reaction by the riders and their leaders. An example is David Millar. He has come back from his own problems during his career. He wore the maglia ro🥀sa and coordinated things with the other riders. Everybody was very composed and respectful.”
“The riders are the most important part of our race. We know they have to race in safe conditions.”
