La Vuelta 2025 ***SPOILERS***

[mididoctors]

There’s good news and bad news.
First the good news: According to Brain Smith, the weather forecast is better pm, so the stage is a go.
Now the bad news: Any bother and the stage will be another no result. Apparently it’s the riders choice.

Thanks

Have they said why? Ratcheting pressure up on the organisers, or trying to pitch fans against protesters?

The now usual 54kph start. Almost 30kms covered and we have a break of nil.

I see today's stage at the ladies race has been cancelled due to the threat of protests.

Now the Tour Feminin L’Ardeche has been cancelled due to fears of protests. This used to be just about the biggest race of all for women.

Any of their teams have any links to Israel?

Interesting: I don't see an IPT type team on the start list. Any idea why it's been cancelled?

Ah, according to the ever reliable Reddit, it's a Bloquons Tout general strike type thing in protest at austerity measures in France.

The sport has..... The sport of cycling protects genocidal states using it as propaganda

You really think they are only making the protest because that team are in the Vuelta? You don't think they'd protest anyway? They would.

That's the reason cycling has drawn protests rather than other sports.
