Safety concerns from multiple riders were "ignored" in the Italian one-day Tre Valli Varesine on Tuesday, according to Lidl-Trek's Brodie Chapman, who raced in heavy rainfall.
The 1.Pro event was shortened from 136.3km to 108.7km due to the extreme weather, and was won by Cédrine Kerbaol (Ceratizit-WNT), one of just 35 finishers from a 131-strong start list. Later in the afternoon, the men's event was cancelled mid-race because of the incessant rain.
