Police to riders at World Championships: We will ticket you
Riders training for this week's world championships aren't following the law, says local police sergeant.
Police officials in Geelong, Australia are none too happy with the antics of the world’s best riders this week leading up to the World Road Cycling Championships which start Wednesday. The circuit is still open to car traffic, but riders have been blowing through red lights and riding more than two wide. Senior Sergeant Shane Coles of the Geelong police department said he will arrest or fine riders if he has to: “If they are detected they will be booked, it doesn’t matter if they are the world champion, the law is the law and they’ve got to comply with it,” Coles told the Geelong Advertiser newspaper.
