Protesters Halt Men's World Championships Road Race
The men's road race at the UCI world championships in Scotland was halted for almost an hour after protestors blocked the road. Police removed and arrested five individuals who had glued themselves to the road. The "This Is Rigged" oil and gas activism movement claimed responsibility for the protest. The race was eventually resumed, with all gaps to the breakaway reinstated to mitigate the stoppage's impact. Race organizers may reduce the number of Glasgow circuits to minimize scheduling impacts.
