Quick Facts Race details, Date ...

During the 2013 race, 63 of the 112 riders refused to compete in the fourth and final stage of the race due to safety concerns, including having to race in open car traffic without sufficient police protection. After briefly listening to the riders' complaints at a meeting before the fourth stage, the organizer, Brunello Fanani, told the protesting riders and team representatives to "go home." Among the protesting riders were Italy's two top women's riders, Elisa Longo Borghini and Giorgia Bronzini, and Marianne Vos, the overall leader after the third stage.[2] The race returned in 2014 but was reduced to two stages plus a prologue time trial, and its UCI race classification was downgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.
