Once again, the Tour Colombia organization and the local police force were in evidence, showing their fatal disorganization and control over the race.
In fact, at one point, the broadcast of the last stage caught live a member of the police recording the race instead of doing his job, that of maintaining order and control of the event. In an image shared on X - formerly Twitter, by user @directorplay, the embarrassing moment can be clearly observed.
