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.

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?

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 :p

Start the clock on the rider boycott. In 5 years they will have races only on dry, sunny days.

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.
