A proposito della tappetta di sabato...

the organizer of the event, Ruben Peris, appeared to be affected by the events a few minutes after the finish. “It was an unpleasant day because with the riders, we had agreed on something and it was not done,” he regretted on the microphone of RTVE . The man at the head of the WorldTour event then developed his version of events. “Some riders like Enric Mas, Carlos Verona, Omar Fraile and others wanted to race. Some others didn't, right from the start in Berga.
We then proposed, and it was accepted, to do a first reconnaissance lap and then the race on the second loop (of a new improvised circuit, editor's note). But finally, halfway through the first lap, they came to tell us that they intended to stop at the first crossing of the line, without racing."
This behavior made Ruben Peris “very angry ,” even though the race was still barely 23 kilometers long. “It's a lack of respect for the organizer, the public and the municipalities that did everything to collaborate and move forward. Some riders, not all, lacked the height"
In pratica gli organizzatori volevano mantenere il percorso anticipato la sera precedente, ma una parte dei corridori si sono rifiutati.
