Three days of non-stop drama and controversy and a massive accident may have been avoided, as the Spanish police caught red handed a person who planned to sabotage the race with 400 liters of olive oil.
This was revealed in the police's own social media account. "With this mechanism someone planned on sabotaging today's stage of the Vuelta a Espana," the announcement said. Two containers with 400 liters of liquid which was meant to be dropped onto the peloton. Four people were detained in Leida."
On the video shared it is possible to see the arresting of several people, but also the scheme which had been planned by the suspects. Over a bridge where traffic is visible, the suspects have stored containers said to be of olive oil, and a hose directly pointing towards the road below where the peloton will race by today.

- 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

- 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

- 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
