The iconic Italian one-day race, the Giro dell'Emilia, has joined the list of events at risk due to the planned participation of Israel-Premier Tech. Bologna's city council has called for the exclusion of the Israel-registered team, which has been the target of several pro-Palestine protests in recent months.
This follows on from 2.1 stage race, O Gran Camiño, confirming they won't invite Sylvan Adams' team next year. Local councils for part of the planned finale of next year's Vuelta a España, and Grand Départ of the 2026 Tour de France in Barcelona, have also stated that they won't go ahead with Israel-Premier Tech on the start line.
