When pink and green don’t mix Giro d’Italia organisers criticised for potential environmental impact of rumoured 2023 Rome finale – and 700km transfer… cycling
In a year that climate change protesters twice disrupted the Tour de France, professional cycling’s questionable environmental record is under the microscope more than ever before. However, no one seems to have told RCS Sport, the organisers of the Giro d’Italia, who are reportedly determined to bring their flagship event back to Rome – and are prepared to subject the race’s caravan to a 700km transfer from the Julian Alps in the far north-east of the country to facilitate such a finale.

According to ASO’s estimates, their race emits the same amount of carbon as 68,500 French people in a year.
