Final KM: Vuelta a San Juan, Stage 2

January 28, 2020 kittyfondue Leave a comment

Aaaaaaaaand Stage 2 of Vuelta a San Juan and we have a new leader. And another crash caused by things jumping out from the roadside … this time, it was a dog …

Stage 2

Fernando Gaviria was really quiet last year – thinking back, I can only remember him winning a stage at the Giro but only because Elia Viviani was relegated. So it’s good to see him back in form as he kept his cool and rode the wheels to his first win of the season (and the leader’s jersey). Let’s hope we see more of him this season.

🚨 This is the 4th year in a row where @FndoGaviria wins a @vueltasanjuanok stage
👉 Since 2015, the @TeamUAEAbuDhabi sprinter has always win a stage during his first race of the season#fuoriclasse #cycling #VueltaSJ2020 @Matxin_ https://t.co/OkQ1iRAFJZ

Taking headers

Stage 1, it was spectators who caused the crash about 3.5km from the finish. Stage 2? They let the dogs out.

fwiw it’s more on the spectators and the owner of the dog themselves because police etc can’t control every stretch of every road, but you know. still isn’t great. especially about two races into the season.

Confetti and cats?

Crash in the front, as the break group first falls victim to rogue confetti swiftly followed by a crossing black cat!

I believe both the Peruvian rider and Argentinian Juarez are back on their bike without much harm #VueltaSJ2020
