VIDEO: Jumbo-Visma staff member tackled and floored by post stage-18 at La Vuelta
CyclingFriday, 15 September 2023 at 12:31
Following the immediate joy of Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic crossing the line with their podium places still in tact at the Vuelta a Espana, one Jumbo-Visma staff member was quickly brought back down to earth by the Spanish police.
As the video below shows, the staff member is tackled to the ground by three members of the Guardia Civil and as they surround him, he is prevented from getting back to his feet until another Jumbo-Visma member comes over to explain. This is not the first time something similar has happened at this year's race either as a Cofidis soigneur was floored by police as Jesus Herrada took victory on stage 11.

- I think this is actually the first cyclinguptodate article I've seen with the proper accents, so it's an improvement
Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025 - I really don't see the reason for it being named after the newspaper anymore, so the name change is good. However, I think the new name is a bit of a mouthful, but abbreviations are out of the question. If you wanted to keep it as close as possible to the original it'd be Critérium du Auvegne-Rhône-Alpes (I'm not sure if that's correct)... which is even more of a mouthful. But the race is definitely not a Critérium, which is very misleadingLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Il Lombardia? with Tadej? mah... in the days prior, I'm sure he will be bitten by a shark.

- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe need to take Lipowitz to the tour as a co-leader. Taking into account Lipowitz's performances and Roglič's tendency to crash out, it's not an option to sacrifice Lipowitz should Roglič be in trouble. Lipowitz beat Evenepoel by a significant margin in the Critérium du Dauphiné - I think he can fight for the podium. João Almeida would have to sacrifice himself for Pogačar, while I don't think Skjelmose will be putting much of a showing.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- That's because Del Toro purposefully gave the Giro away. Carapaz actually wanted to win. Sadly, some people have a problem with successLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- If you take the GC of the Giro d'italia 2025 only including Stages 16-21, you'll find that: Simon Yates was the fastest, Richard Carapaz was 2:56 slower, Giulio Pellizzari was 3:17 down, Isaac Del Toro was 5:16 behind, Derek Gee was at 5:49, Damiano Caruso was at 6:17, Einer Rubio was at 7:59, Brandon McNulty was at 8:32, while Michael Storer was at 8:42 and Egan Bernal rounded off the top ten, being 9:24 down and the last rider within 10 minutes. After that the gaps start to baloon, with Rafał Majka at 11:08, Max Poole at 13:34, Adam Yates at 18:16, Davide Piganzoli at 24:42, Nicholas Prodhomme at 28:31, then an almighty jump to Thomas Pidcock who was 42:23 down, then Antonio Tiberi at 46:02, James Knox at 46:25, with Romain Bardet at 49:15 and Diego Ulissi rounding off the top 20, at 57:39 down, being the last rider within 1hr.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Florian Lipowitz should seriously be a co-leader for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. I really don't want to see him have sacrifice his GC chances like Giulio Pellizzari had to do in Il Giro.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025

La Policia Nacional is doing what they are doing best: Use aggression in any situation.
Maybe for once, being in the media zone of La Vuelta, they could control themselves. But no, in front of the world they give the country a bad name.
Fantastic.
This is not the full video. The Jumbo staff member started pushing the police first, just before the beginning of this video. Also these are not guardia civil but policia nacional.
I was not able to understand why this guy was this aggressive. As you say if he initiated it then likely he is at fault.
