For all those who are legion, who are millions, of inhabitants, neighbors and voters, who believe that politicians and institutions should not use (invest?, okay, invest) public money in sporting events, in major sporting events, and yes, in everything that the population needs, covering the needs of the people, the departure of the Tour from Bilbao It has been one of the biggest setbacks.
What was experienced yesterday, with hundreds of thousands of people (the authorities did not dare to say the number, but it is scary, for sure) in the streets of Bilbao, throughout the Basque Country, is, I am sorry, and is perfectly recognized and quantified , one of the biggest events in the world after the Olympic Games and the World Wide Football Coup. There is nothing, nothing, like the Tour. Nothing. Hundreds of millions of viewers were able to attend, live and direct, one of the most beautiful spectacles that exists and not only sports, no way!, but cultural, geographical, scenic, television and educational.
Only 12 million euros
A stage of the Tour and more if it is your first day, your departure, and even more if it is from a city as charismatic as Bilbao, it is a cultural and sporting event. It is, without a doubt, the best advertisement that a territory, big or small, city or country, can offer to the world. And if it only costs 12 million euros, although, yes, it involves two and a half years of hard work, it is, without a doubt, the best investment that exists because its return and/or economic impact in the territory exceeds 120 million euros. It is, therefore, the best gift that can be given to the inhabitants, to the neighbors and to the voters.
For this reason, before this unforgettable day began, which would end, it must be said, with one of the biggest sporting misfortunes of the day (or with the only sporting misfortune of the day), the abandonment of the Mallorcan Enric Mas After an unexpected fall, a hobby marathon runner, lawyer and political professional, David Escudéwas queuing in front of the makeshift office of the French Christian Prudhomme‘chief’ of the French round, to ask, beg and suggest that he grant Barcelonato the city of 92, to the city that organized the best Olympic Games in history, the start of the Tour in 2025 or 2026why Florence, Italy) already has granted the exit of 2024. And Jose Luis Martinez-Almeidathe mayor of Madrid, who drools for taking the F-1 to the capital, also wants a Tour exit.
