I don't think sponsors of teams will be willing to use what limited leverage they have. Can you imagine Rapha telling Sky "We won't dress you unless you only race in events with no podium girls"? It doesn't really work. Sky have an obligation to race where they do. It's not really negotiable.
Some races might have sponsor reps at the ceremony but it's the organisation that runs the event with the power to make changes. Having said that you could petition British Cycling to publish guidelines or something. Or you could go for ASO?

Rapha don't have any control over what Team Sky does other than the kit they wear. Since they don't run or sponsor any major races they won't have much leverage over this issue, same with Fizik. The people to target are race organisers and sponsors I reckon.
