Protest Disruption at Vuelta a España 2025

This is not fair to all the riders who have worked and suffered for three weeks. These protesters should be arrested and fined for disrupting the race.

Cheeseheads

Cheeseheads has a slightly different meaning for Packers and Eagles fans.

Packers fans have a block of yellow cheese on their heads while an Eagles fan has a block of "Philadelphia" cream cheese on his head.

Is your mustache frozen?

You may think it’s cold where you are, but is it “my mustache is frozen, and I look like a Walrus” cold.

"Worst thing that could happen is it falls off."

Why do this?

Turns out the riots aren’t a problem, but some arsehole threw tacks on the road right before the last climb of the day.

“Thank you for this kind of human bullshit… I don’t think I was the only victim of a puncture in the end… know that you can fall and get really hurt with your bullshit you morons…” 🤬

Will the riots in France cause problems for the Tour de France?

It is possible that the riots in France could affect the Tour de France. The race organizers have said that they are monitoring the situation and are prepared to adapt if needed. The race route largely avoids areas affected by the riots, but there is always the possibility that protesters could disrupt the race.

In the past, the Tour de France has been disrupted by protests on several occasions. In 2022, the race was stopped for 10 minutes by climate change activists. There have also been protests by farmers and other groups.

The race organizers are aware of the risks posed by protests and have taken steps to increase security. They have added two motorbikes to the peloton to help detect and deter protesters. They have also been in close contact with the French government and security forces.

It is too early to say for sure whether the riots will affect the Tour de France. However, the race organizers are taking the situation seriously and are prepared to adapt if needed.

Amazing bike handling!
