‘They bring cycling into disrepute’ – Agent blasts Lorena Wiebes’ Giro disqualification as rider stays silent apart from brief Instagram post

Since her controversial disqualification from the Giro d’Italia Women on Saturday and the debate that has followed, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) has stayed largely silent on the matter, but her agent has joined the chorus of voices criticising the decision.

Speaking to Wielerflits, André Boskamp said the decision “undermines the credibility of cycling” and blasted the circumstances that led to her expulsion from the entire race, reportedly over a weight discrepancy of around 20g under the 6.8kg UCI limit.
