Cycling is environmentally friendly, but let's not equate world championship to cycling as transport. The event itself must have a lot carbon footprint. Still, weird choice of event to protest, but I can see them doing what they can to get the publicity they need.

Same is true for almost every form of entertainment but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the truly big polluters.

Sources of entertainment have - by definition - more viewers and attention than Exxon's office building.

I always find it odd when people claim that something is by definition. Whose definition?

Anyway, this event is promoting cycling and disrupting a cycling event does nothing to help further promoting any form of cycling.
