The International Cycling Union (UCI)world cycling’s highest governing body, ‘threatened’ Tadej Pogacar for wearing a maroon culotte in Italy is spinning.
In the third stage ‘Pogi’ wore the pink jersey worn by the leader of the race, but instead of wearing the pink shorts he wore purple, as worn by the leader of the Ciclamino classification, which did not please anyone in all ICUs.
Apparently, the race judges did not allow Pogacar and the Pogacar team to use the maroon culottes, UAE, He even received a call from the UCI, scolded them and told him to change his shorts or risk being expelled or disqualified.
A ‘threat’ that logically did not materialize and at the moment the Instagram account of Eurosport Cycling confirmed Pogacar’s non-disqualification, the double Tour champion responded: “Today I will run naked.”
And, within this absurdity, as learned, the race leader can now wear the purple shorts in the individual time trial if he wishes, which he wore to honor the Torino football clubas the Giro d’Italia itself did on the 75th anniversary of the plane crash known as the Superga tragedy.
