Israel PT excluded from Giro dell’Emilia cycling race for ‘security reasons’: organizers
ROME: Israel-Premier Tech have been excluded from the Giro dell’Emilia cycling race on October 4 in Italy for safety reasons, the organizers told AFP on Saturday.
Adriano Amici, president of GS Emilia which organizes the one-day race, said the team “will unfortunately not be present at our race. We had to make this decision for reasons of public security.”
“There’s too much danger for both the Israel Tech riders and others. The race’s final circuit is run five times so the possibility of the race being disrupted is very high.
“It’s a decision I regret having to make from a sporting perspective, but I had no other choice for public safety.”
