La Vuelta 2025 ***SPOILERS***

The towns legitimately pay to host, and in such a situation an unscrupulous mayor that didn't think it was entirely worth the money might be persuaded that his town really did need a stage start rather than a new roof on the library by the sound of a weighty envelope dropping onto the table

I think Zingle might have had his shoulder dislocated and put back in. Not sure as I looked away, don't like watching that sort of thing

Just got home from Mallorca to find all this out. A drab August day in Italy. Should have gone to the Balearics.
No hiding for hurt riders today, either.
