Sanctions Amended for Littering Cyclists - Federation Focus 04/14/21
(ATR) The sanctions against cyclists who throw bottles and waste outside dedicated zones during men’s and women’s road races are being amended.

The Professional Cycling Council (PCC) had initially approved the sanctions in February as part of a series of rider safety measures implemented by the ICU in consultation with teams, riders and organizers.

However, the riders will now be allowed to get rid of their bottles and waste by giving them to team assistants positioned on the roadside, in charge of feeding, and to the following vehicles of teams and the organizers.
