Given the current temperatures in Spain, a trip to a new part won’t do them any harm! This Thursday, the riders will rise from the Carrefour store during the sixth stage of the Vuelta. Precincts have been set up for the event. A funny concept launched by the Tour of Spain.
The supermarket chain is one of the main partners of the event. His logo has also appeared on the captain’s red jersey since 2013. It is currently held by the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, winner of the Vuelta three times in his career. This Thursday’s stage starts from Jerez de la Frontera and will end in Yunquera after 185 km.
The organization announced that 400 Carrefour store employees have been recruited to fit the supermarket space. The racers and the race control car will start from the lanes of the store, while the sports directors’ cars will park from outside the store.
In 2019, the Tour of Spain has been the place of the original start. At that time, the peloton had started from the San-Mamès stadium, of the Athletic Club, in Bilbao. Again, the race organization has decided to put its imagination to work.
