Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 21, 2020 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Update on the horses who got involved in the stage today. As the pack attempted to reel in Soler, a group of five small Asturcon wild horses, local to the northern Spanish Basque region, burst out of roadside trees and into the second chasing group. Miraculously, no-one was knocked off their bike as riders took evasive action. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/54609483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 22, 2020 #12 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Pinot has abandoned, unsurprisingly - back is still not recovered. Goes back to his goats for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,503 Posted October 23, 2020 #15 Share Posted October 23, 2020 That last two kilometer was madness, especially the last few hundred meters. Did the organizers not see that idiotic stage in the Tour of Poland with a downhill sprint?

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted October 24, 2020 #16 Share Posted October 24, 2020 After a sprint stage yesterday, we get a breakaway today! Tim Wellens wins it. Oi! Dan Martin caught in a crash in the last km. Several other top guys held back. Back to more head-banging climbing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,503 Posted October 25, 2020 #17 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Would have had the Tourmalet, but the Vuelta has the same problem the Giro had: France. This has the potential to get interesting in the coming days though If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Federer91 2,114 Posted October 25, 2020 #18 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Start the clock on the rider boycott. In 5 years they will have races only on dry, sunny days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they do need to look into making sure the stage doesn't finish in the dark if that actually were to be a potential issue, that's just a simple matter of basic safety. And no, "but 100 years ago they rode in the dark sometimes!" is no argument.
