The immense power in that little terrier to tow an entire patio chair. Must have taken the owner by surprise- imagine having to walk such an uncontrollable beast!

Frankly, I don't know why people are moaning about protests and shortened stages with no winner. Get your priorities sorted out.

WE GOT A DOG TOWING A CHAIR FFS!

So why was Vuelta targeted so often by the protests, but not other sport or commercial events in Spain (as far as I'm aware)?

Not charging to spectate will surely be a big factor.

Does that need to change, even if it's a token price similar to £1 per person?

Not prosecuting protesters that caused stages to stop prematurely is setting an awful, dangerous precedent, going forward.

I think the presence of IPT was major point. I don't know if any other major sports in Spain have Israel-badged competitors.

How exactly would you go about charging people to be at the side of 100s of km of public road? It's just not a practical proposition.

Yes This is what it was about ....IPT being in the race . They didn't pick the vuelta at random .

The question is does it spread to other European countries,.... Any race ipt is in

If gazprom hadn't been chucked out we would be looking at people with yellow and blue flags running all over the course 🇺🇦

The stage that stands out to me is the Ayuso long range attack up that 1 hour climb .....stage 7 .... That was a hell of a solo effort
