Superglue and bike locks - details of Worlds protest emerge at activists' trial

The Netherland's Mathieu van der Poel rests as the race is stopped due to protestors blocking the route.

Three of the activists who brought the 2023 UCI Road World Championships marquee event to a standstill were let off with a warning, and one was fined £250 in a trial at the Falkirk Sheriff Court. During the lengthy hearing, more details of the protester's actions emerged.

Catriona Roberts, 21, Rebecca Kerr, 28, and Romane Moulin, 26, were given a verbal warning while Ben Taylor, 29, was fined, according to BBC News, for glueing themselves to the road and stopping the elite men's road race on August 6.
