Second stage in Murcia cancelled

The second stage of the Vuelta a Murcia, scheduled for today, was eventually cancelled due to strong wind. Originally, the riders were supposed to ride 162 kms between Totana and Fortuna. Though, the unusually strong wind forced the race officials to shorten the stage. The riders were supposed to ride only the last 50 kms, but that was in the end cancelled off as well. The wind could prove to be dangerous, as it was yesterday, when a whole bunch of people crashed. The money that would have been awarded to the stage-winner was sent to Isaac Galvez`s family.
