☆ Van der Poel answered nature's call in comfort during protest

GLASGOW, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Newly-crowned Dutch world road champion Mathieu Van der Poel said he used a nearly hour-long stoppage to Sunday's showpiece race to answer the call of nature in comfort. The elite men's race was brought to a standstill after 80km when anti fossil fuel protesters from a group named This is Rigged blocked the road. While some riders took on food and drink or had a massage in a team car, Van der Poel's needs were rather more urgent and he managed to find a house for a comfort break rather than having to skip behind the nearest hedge. The protest was going on ahead, they said it was going to take probably half an hour so we bundled into whatever car was nearest and bunkered down until we could get going again."

☆ Men's world championships road race resumes after protest

GLASGOW, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Protesters halted the men's road race at the UCI World Championships for almost an hour on Sunday, stopping the peloton in its tracks after 80km. A nine-rider breakaway group, which was seven minutes ahead of the main bunch, was approaching the Crow Road climb on the route from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Police Scotland said their Protest Removal Team had arrested five protesters. The race was allowed to continue on towards Glasgow at 12.16pm with the leading group starting first in order to preserve their time advantage. Several sporting events in Britain this year have been targeted by Just Stop Oil protesters including the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Ashes cricket test at Lord's.
