The Giro d’Italia winner on taking a knee, lobbying British Cycling and why he ‘could not agree less’ with Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Tao Geoghegan Hart, the winner of the 2020 Giro d’Italia, has sent a direct rebuke to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who argued last week that sportspeople should avoid politics and stick to what they’re “good at doing,” with the cyclist offering a more detailed explanation of why he took a knee on Hackney Marshes last month.
Speaking exclusively to the Guardian, the 25-year-old Londoner said that “everything is political,” revealed that he is also lobbying British Cycling on accessibility and diversity and added that he “deplored” racism.
