Cycling
In the sixth stage of the Vuelta a Espana a very explosive finish is expected for the arrival at the Astrophysical Observatory of Javalambre, better known as the Pico del Buitre. This is a pass that was already reached in 2019 and where the Burgos BH rider Ángel Madrazo won and which has 12 kilometers at 7%.
Perico Delgado, winner of the 1988 Tour de France and twice of the Vuelta, is currently a commentator for RTVE and has made a video as part of his famous 'Pericopuertos' in which he tours the main mountain passes of each year in the Vuelta a España. On this occasion he is accompanied by the cyclist and current technical director of the routes of the Spanish raceFernando Escartín.

- "Anatomy of a G.O.A.T." OK, that's great!!! I've been saying all along: Tadej Pogačar-Pogi is the G.O.A.T... period. Not only in cycling... but he's the greatest sportsman that ever lived !!! But let's take a look of what real foolishness is. We have many many fools, also on this site, saying that Pogi is "boring,"... he's making cycling "boring"??? I can't believe what's comming out of their deteriorating bad breath mouths. So I guess Merckx, Hinault, Indurain, Fasto Coppi and Anquetil were also boring at their time!?!? I guess Michael Jordan, Le Bron, Gretzky, Messi, Ronaldo, Shumacher, Novak Džoković, Federer, Rossi, Marquez, Phelps, Michaela Shiffrin, Venus Williams, Bolt, Lewis Hamilton... etc. were all boring. PS: Many cycling fans that think that way, have to get a brain scan. Ad acta!!!PogiSloFans06-11-2026
