Protest in Liège-Bastogne-Liège rumoured due to Rusvelo riders' situation
CyclingFriday, 22 April 2022 at 18:30
Due to the sanctions applied from the UCI to Russian and Belarusian teams, the riders of the former Gazprom-Rusvelo team - in the meantime turned into just Gazprom - have frequently complained about the harshness of the measures, that are having a negative effect on their careers.
This week, former Rusvelo riders Nicola Conci and José Manuel Diaz have taken to Twitter to share a message regarding their current situation, in which they are not allowed to race and sit without a contract: "We waited and worked with you and CPA in a professional way, but you now need to take your responsibilities and solve our situation. The time of answers has come. Stop talking start doing. Our Future depends from your choices,"
Gazzetta dello Sport reporter Ciro Scognamiglio has informed that sources have mentioned of the possibility of a protest on the startlist this Sunday at Liège-Bastogne-Liège. According to Scognamiglio, there is an "option on the table to postpone the start of 5 minutes to push UCI to find a solution for the Gazprom-Rusvelo case".
At the time being, no solution has yet been found, however the pressure from the riders and the peloton as a whole is piling on for a solution to the riders who have been stranded without pay and "our right to do our job being revoked".

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
