Yeah, i don't 100% trust jonas to destroy everyone the way pog did at the giro last year, also looking forward to watching UAE all argue and fallout with one another without someone to lead them

No stage winner today and times will be taken at 3km before the finish. That was exactly what one feared for, especially after the first passage through Bilbao: lots of dangerous situations, people trying to attack the riders and cause injuries and everything. Goodbye Basque Country/Bilbao for the next few years, one might hope, sadly.

What an embarrassment for this race. That was some amateurish level of organization. If they couldn't properly secure the race from interference, they could have at least called a snap decision to have the stage winner at the 5 km or 3 km banner. Good that I've barely had time to watch the race and am not that into the battle after this shit.

Which battle, exactly?  

 

Whatever one's opinion about today is, it made for basically the only slightly interesting thing so far in this Vuelta

Fighting for peace while physically attacking athletes.

Pellizzari will be a new Aru?

[Federer91 3,389]

Another giant flop for this race and Spain. 

[heywoodu 16,468]

Letting the team that exists to 'whitewash' Israel ride

Protesters trying to physically harm the riders

Zero tension for the win

The awful 'opening' in Italy

Stage after stage where absolutely nothing happened

 

Can we just collectively throw all memories of this Vuelta in the trash?

I'm new to road cycling...sorry to see all this unfold!

 

But regardless, congrats to the overall winners, though there is no podium ceremony.

 

Gold - Jonas Vingegaard 

Silver - João Almeida 

Bronze - Tom Pidcock 

 

(And for some hometown support,  had 3 inside the top 10.)    Riccitello 5, Kuss 7, Jorgenson 10

The country is heading fast towards openly backing Hamas.
