The Vuelta a Espana faced another dramatic moment. After the problems caused by the weather in the first stages of Catalunya and Caravaca de la Cruz in Murcia, now a race helicopter has caused a wind gust that blew out barriers in yesterday's finale.
The latest incident involves the race helicopter, which came too close to the race area during the final climb of the eleventh stage, which was won by Jesús Herrada. The strong movement of the propellers caused several fences to fall and, according to Marca, also a child.

- There’s this guy who won the Tour once and has been on GT podiums quite often, similar stature but almost a decade older. Got pretty good at climbing even though he started lufe on the track and was more a TT type. I’ll let you guess and develop your argument (they help to validate or convince of simplistic statements) as to what is or isn’t possible given desire, time and willpower, all things MVDP will have for the time it may take until this becomes a goal for him, so, I say, if he DECIDES to put his mind to it, there are chances he COULD pull it off. Skjelmose beating Tadej last week was also considered incredibly unlikely, until it happened, and only when it did did people start thinking how that was possible and coming up with all sorts of reasons and arguments they didn’t want to accept and even ridiculed in advance.Jumpyjohn23-04-2025

- If Storer is going to be so difficult to catch then let’s focus on the rest of the podium. How about the 18y old for defending 2nd? He already proved himself enduring and consistant in the UAE tour.Mistermaumau22-04-2025
