24 riders have been disqualified from the U23 Giro d'Italia after they were caught on video hanging on to cars and motorbikes during the ascent of the Passo dello Stelvio on stage 4.
Johannes Staune-Mittet (Jumbo-Visma Development Team) won Wednesday's 119km stage to take over the race lead with four days to go, but further down the mountain, numerous riders resorted to rule-breaking methods to make their way to the top.
