In the midst of unexpected chaos, the Vuelta a España 2023 experienced moments of bewilderment during its 2nd stage. Inclement weather forced the organization to make a drastic decision: to establish a time trial 9 kilometers from the finish line. However, what followed left everyone perplexed.

In a video captured by renowned journalist Raúl Banqueri, a commissaire is seen seeking the help of fans at the roadside. The reason: to calculate the cyclists' bonuses and draw up the general classification using an unconventional method. The scene looked surreal for a professional event, with the commissaire, surrounded by enthusiastic spectators, trying to confirm who the riders were.
