Meh. Roll on tomorrow. We need some excitement, and anyone but Cobo in Red. |

According to the Danish commentators, Haedo said that it was indicated in the road map. |

Mark Cavendish:
With regards to today's #Vuelta finish, that's why EVERY rider should read the race-booklet. There's no excuse when the finish is AS IT SAYS
Agree. |

That doesn't take away though that Sagan had no choice but to go right, otherwise he would have crashed in to Bennati.

Had Cavendish been still in the Vuelta (and in proper form, obv), and lost the sprint because of that, I'm 400% sure he'll be saying the same. It's not like he ever complains when he doesn't win.
I agree that the riders must know the race book blablabla, but it sure would've been appropiated to properly signalize that roundabout. I can't believe they haven't neutralized those gaps.

Nah. Incompetence is the word.

For those who don't speak spanish, the road to the right was open because it's the road the follow cars were supposed to take

The riders can't complain about being misinformed but in my opinion the only way to do worse by the organization was to put the finish line in the middle of the rotunda (is this the word?). |

That doesnt change a thing on fact that this is probably the most stupid finish i have ever seen, organisers must be mad.
Riders have no time to think about this going into the last 300metres in full speed.

Cancellara already said yesterday he would abandon before today's stage. Taaramäe, Majka and D. Lopez have also abandoned before today's stage. |

This finish was far more idiotic. And it was near my house
