I still refuse to believe it, but here we go, Vuelta a Espana stage 6 will take off from INSIDE Carrefour shopping center. Lidl-Trek riders enter enemy territory, while Intermarché - Wanty ready for war... Or maybe not and it will be another in long series of experiments from Vuelta organizers, trying to attract more fans to the Grand Tour.
The supermarket chain Carrefour has been long associated with cycling, most notably thanks to Tour de France polka dot jersey. As an important long-time partner of Vuelta a Espana, they had been awarded the privilege to host the start of today's stage 6 in their store in Jerez de la Frontera, one of the "world’s greatest wine capitals", according to Vuelta website.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
