Giulio Ciccone has questioned the verdict of the photo finish in Sundays road race at the European Championships, where he was judged to have lost out to Belgium's Remco Evenepoel by a hairs breadth. The Italian posted on Instagram on Monday afternoon, saying he had doubts about the decision and demanding to see the photo finish image on the actual finish line. The title was awarded by a margin of 0.0028 seconds thats 2.8 thousandths of a second, he wrote.Ive watched the available footage hundreds of times and, in the shots where the finish line is visible, I keep seeing a sequence of events that I cannot reconcile with that verdict.Ciccone added that he had spoken on Monday morning with race officials and technical experts from his federation, who explained to him how the photo finish equipment works. Im not asking for another explanation, he said. Im asking to see the photo finish that corresponds exactly to the actual finish line.I would like to be able to see, beyond any doubt, our two bikes crossing the exact point at which, according to the regulations, the finish is determined. Because if a European title is decided by 2.8 thousandths of a second, I think it is fair to ask that that very moment be shown with the same precision with which the result was determined. A post shared by Giulio Ciccone (@giulio_ciccone_)A photo posted by The Lidl-Trek rider took to the podium to accept his silver medal on Sunday, and told Cycling Pro Net he was really, really disappointed by the result. He has since been clear not to discredit Evenepoel, the declared winner, who he said on Instagram was the strongest rider in the race. I have enormous respect for him, and that has never been in doubt, he said. I am not asking for a television replay to replace the photo finish. I am not questioning Remcos merit or the extraordinary race he rode. I am asking for something very simple: to see the photo-finish at the actual finish line.If that image confirms the verdict, there will be nothing more to say. But until I am shown that evidence, for me it remains a question to which I have not yet received an answer. Cycling Weekly contacted the organiser of this years UEC European Championships for a response to Ciccones comments. A spokesperson for the championships said: "We have two photo-finish systems (left and right of the finish line), so there are two separate images. We showed both images to the Italian team and also explained to them how the photo-finish system works."Cycling Weekly has requested copies of both photo finish images for publication.
