From sadness to anger to injustice – Lorena Wiebes speaks out for the first time since being disqualified from Giro d’Italia Women over bike weight

Lorena Wiebes has spoken for the first time about her disqualification from the Giro d’Italia Women, explaining how her emotions went from ‘sadness’ to ‘anger’ and a now a sense of ‘injustice’.

The Dutch champion appeared to have won the opening stage last weekend but her bike failed to meet the UCI’s minimum weight requirement in post-race checks, and she was chucked out of the race.
