“As a trans woman, I’ve been told I’m not welcome on the cycling track by the UCI, at the same time they allow a petrochemical company to field a team showing they have no real care for people,” said Kerr, who is a student. “I take to the track to point out this hypocrisy and take a stand for a better future.”
A breakaway group of nine riders had opened up a seven and a half minute gap on the rest of the peloton by the time the race was brought to a halt. Riders were seen waiting on the side of the road for almost an hour before the incident was dealt with and racing recommenced. The group also spray painted the words “the people are mightier than a lord”, the slogan of the Highland Land League, on a painting of King Charles III.
