After the 9th stage the riders took the direction of Valladolid by plane, the place of the first rest day on Monday. But one of the aircraft was forced to land in Madrid due to bad weather conditions. After landing in the Spanish capital, the passengers on this plane had to complete the bus journey. It wasn't until 3 a.m. that they arrived at their destination. Several runners have already testified to this misadventure on social networks, including the tricolor Romain Bardet who did not fail to slip a small tackle to the organizers of the Grand Tours. "Midnight. Arrived safely in...Madrid. A few more hours by bus to Valladolid, flight diverted with bad weather. I think it's karma, doing plane transfers during a Grand Tour in 2023...

Same observation for Edward Theuns of the Lidl-Trek team who let loose on X: "Arrived at the hotel at 3:15 am... no food until then... time to weigh each gram and to do everything to recover, it will not boost morale. wrote the Belgian.
