Chaos at the end of the Tour Colombia 2024: Police caught filming the race instead of controlling the crowd that was hindering the cyclists
CyclingSunday, 11 February 2024 at 19:28
In a final stage of the Tour Colombia 2024 that was absolutely thrilling, with Rodrigo Contreras becoming the first non-WorldTour rider to win the general classification, and also withstanding the brutal attacks of Richard Carapaz, there was no shortage of controversy.
In the final kms of the stage, many fans who had come to see their idols live began to obstruct the riders, many of them with the aim of encouraging them as much as possible and others taking advantage of the opportunity to take photos.
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.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
