Four plead not guilty to breach of the peace following protest that disrupted World Championship road race on Sunday Trial date set for November, with four accused barred from attending other events at Glasgow 2023 cycling
Papers filed with the court allege that they glued themselves to the road surface, chained themselves together, set off powder cannons, refused to leave the site when asked to by police, and that they conducted themselves in a disorderly manner as well as causing the race, eventually won in Glasgow by Mathieu van der Poel of the Netherlands, to be stopped.
Anti-fossil fuels campaign group This Is Rigged claimed responsibility for Sunday’s intervention, which came around 80km into the race, which began in Edinburgh, and said that they were protesting against the sponsorship of the sport by petrochemicals companies. The group has previously carried out a protest at the nearby Grangemouth oil refinery, which is owned by Ineos, sponsor of the Ineos Grenadiers WorldTour team whose rider Michal Kwiatkowski, the sole Polish representative in the race, sported the company’s logo on his kit.
