had gone with a relative to the town of Añover de Tajo to do some night hunting They built a lookout platform with wooden planks at the top of the tree and positioned themselves there to watch the animals the man fell around five metres to the ground Police officers performed CPR on the man until paramedics arrived but the hunter was pronounced dead at the scene According to the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha which regulates the hunting seasons for the 2024-2025 season the wild boar is the only animal which can be hunted at night Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados Everything you need to know to get (without losing your patience) to the most important tennis tournament in Madrid Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek have already confirmed their participation the unique stadium in the San Fermín district more than 325,000 people passed through the stadium and a similar flow is expected for this edition it’s a good idea to know how to get there has already recommended avoiding the car and using public transport that looks more like a science fiction facility than a tennis court Since 2009 it has hosted the tournament and it transforms the surroundings into a small Legazpi can be reached by metro (lines 3 and 6) 247 and T32*) and also from outside Madrid with the intercity buses 411 On Avenida de Andalucía there is also night service: N13 *Note: Line T32 will not provide service on April 27th and May 1st The most reasonable option is to leave your car in a park-and-ride lot and combine it with the metro or bus Digital technologies and the Internet are increasingly being used to support and improve democratic processes – known as digital democracy Digital democracy means modern technologies’ potential to promote democratic values and practices as well as the use of digital media for political information and communication eleven European partners – including Paderborn University – have joined forces in the international interdisciplinary EU research project INNOVADE (“INNOVAtive Democracy through digitalisation”) Digital democracy strives to increase civic participation in political processes and simplify governmental and administrative processes One of INNOVADE’s aims is therefore to develop a “Digital Democracy App” to help citizens engage with their local government and make a real impact on decisions that affect their everyday lives The goal of the project is to better understand and promote digital democracy. A team at Paderborn University’s Department of Media Studies is playing a major role in INNOVADE: Prof. Dr. Christian Fuchs, head of the Media Systems and Media Organisation Research Group is responsible for conducting fundamental sociological research into digital democracy Banu Durdaǧ and research assistant Kevin Friesch “INNOVADE will analyse the principles and opportunities for strengthening digital democracy as well as obstacles and risks This highly topical project is addressing a key sociopolitical topic of today’s world,” says Fuchs about the Horizon Europe project The European Union has been providing INNOVADE with around three million euros of funding since January for a period of three years Horizon Europe is currently the EU’s primary funding programme for research and innovation INNOVADE is a synergy between social and political research and technological development Fuchs explains: “The foundational social science research will map out the principles and criteria of digital democracy which can then be used as the design principles for a Digital Democracy App developed within the project.” The app will be tested in two municipalities – Geel in Belgium and San Martín de la Vega in Spain – and its local use will be scientifically analysed As the two municipalities are participating as project partners the transfer of the project’s findings on digital democracy to society is made possible experimenting with digital democracy on a local level will be evaluated from a social science perspective The pilot locations will provide valuable insights into how digital democracy tools could improve civic participation on a local level in the future “INNOVADE enables a unique collaboration between research Our goal is to improve digital democracy in Europe The strengthening of digital democracy is important in today’s world to counterbalance fake news authoritarianism and post-truth politics online,” Fuchs notes The research conducted by Paderborn University’s research team is focusing on democratic theory The role of Fuchs’s team is to conduct foundational theoretical research and empirical social research into digital democracy the project has another German partner in the form of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) the project includes the Brussels strategy group Beyond the Horizon The Italian partners are ICT Legal Consulting and Trust-IT plus its subsidiary COMMpla These are joined in Spain by the Cibervoluntarios foundation and the San Martín de la Vega municipal administration The project partners in the various countries will contribute their particular knowledge and experience the project will be benefiting from interdisciplinary scientific expertise in the fields of Media and Communication Studies Political Science and Public Administration More information about INNOVADE can be found on the project website.

CentroCentro (Plaza Cibeles Artificial Mountain of the Retiro Park (Paseo de Fernán Núñez 30) and Café Naves de Matadero (Paseo de la Chopera This time we will have to investigate the death of the High Priestess of the Sons of Jupiter The suspects of her murder are many and each one had a motive to do it Strained relationships and rumors of betrayal raise suspicions but could the murder cover up an even darker secret this is a mystery game that triumphs every Halloween but there are (still) a few dates available for the next few months the rural house known because here you can be scared 365 days a year is the perfect place for horror addicts who want to live a group experience (followed by a party) this Halloween 2024 Among its scariest experiences are the following: Just as at Christmas you can go to a nursery to choose your fir tree in places like La Huerta de Aranjuez you can also choose your pumpkin for Halloween participate in activities and have a snack there The Madrid ghost tour is a way to discover the most mysterious side of the city and some of the legends that linger in some of the capital’s emblematic buildings To take this route you have to put yourself in the shoes of Diego de Velázquez on the day of reckoning The mission will be to solve the mysteries and follow the clues to prevent his soul from going to purgatory and learn the terrifying true stories behind places you never noticed before And although in itself the visit is a somewhat disturbing plan it is almost a classic Halloween in Madrid that is transformed into a kind of passage of terror on these dates This year it will take place in the Andén de los Muertos on October 25 1 and 2 November and the visits will be theatrical Unfortunately online tickets are already sold out Fear and mystery will flood the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid from October 5 to November 3 The passage of terror of the Parque de Atracciones is a classic of Halloween in Madrid where tombs and mummies will meet archaeological innocents who must find their way to the treasure Also joining the night dedicated to scares are the horror experiences of El Viejo Caserón there will be two shows at the Gran Teatro Auditorio: the Scream Show so that children can also enjoy Halloween night As a novelty and if you like mystery you can’t miss Area 51 we can’t explain what you will find here The Warner Park Madrid is transformed into a scary movie set during the Halloween season All the attractions and activities have been designed for all those who are looking for thrills the park promises a series of events and attractions that will make visitors live the fear in first person Navas del Rey is transformed into a horror scenario with the game “El Túnel Rojo” will take place on November 2

on 16 September 2016 This article has been updated Bacterial and fungal infections remain a major clinical challenge Implant infections very often require complicated revision procedures that are troublesome to patients and costly to the healthcare system Innovative approaches to tackle infections are urgently needed We investigated the histological response of novel free P2O5 glass-ceramic rods implanted in the jaws of beagle dogs Due to the particular percolated morphology of this glass-ceramic the dissolution of the rods in the animal body environment and the immature bone formation during the fourth months of implantation maintained the integrity of the glass-ceramic rod No clinical signs of inflammation took place in any of the beagle dogs during the four months of implantation This new glass-ceramic biomaterial with inherent bactericidal and fungicidal properties can be considered as an appealing candidate for bone tissue engineering one of the most critical problems in the current healthcare system is the prevention of bacterial adhesion to implant surfaces in which different bactericidal glassy coatings on zirconia abutments were connected to dental implants inserted on the jaws of beagle dogs This glassy coating was able to prevent biofilm formation to inhibit intrasulcular bacterial growth and to prevent peri-implant marginal crestal bone loss This glassy coating was effective preventing anaerobic bacterial growth which are the ones directly associated with the peri-implant disease The extremely high biocidal activity of these glass powders is very encouraging and opens the door for their use in several specific medical applications They may also serve as an alternative to other more aggressive inorganic compounds The present investigation is focused on the histological study of this new glass-ceramic in the form of a series of rods implanted in the jaws of beagle dogs for a four-month period X-ray computed tomography (XCT) images of the cross section of the implanted rod (a) Volume reconstruction of all the pores in the sample (colours indicates different pores) (b) The seven biggest pores in the sample with the rest of the pores in

and of the cross-section (c) after the test are shown Green-fluorescence images were obtained from the rod surface (b1) and in cross section (c1) after incubation with FITC-albumin for 48 h; control rods (b2,c2) were immersed in PBS with the same test conditions The appearance of the rods at each state is also included in (a–c) Histological image of the glass-ceramic rod (a). Optical micrographs showing interconnected microporosity allowing the migration of plasma fluid through capilar effect (a1) and details of the new bone-implant interface (b1,c1).

rather a solid union appeared all around there was no signal of multinucleated giant cells or focal accumulation of cells that would indicate the presence of an immune reaction free of P2O5 implanted by impaction into the jaw of a beagle dog (photo taken by Roberto López-Píriz during the surgery) an excellent balance between the degradation rate and new tissue in-growth The following conclusions can be drawn: a) The P2O5-free glass-ceramic rods implanted in the jaws of beagle dogs due to their particular percolated morphology are subjected to a controlled dissolution/new-bone-formation process throughout the entire osseointegration process; b) as a direct consequence of the biocompatibility and the inherent bactericidal character of the glass-ceramics no inflammatory process was observed in any of the beagles’jaws during our continuous ocular clinical inspections of the implants throughout the four-month rod implantation process An antimicrobial soda-lime glass powder (d < 35 μm) from the SiO2–Na2O–Al2O3–CaO–B2O3 system with the following chemical composition was used (wt.%): 41.6 SiO2 The precursor powders were cold isostatically pressed (CIP) at 300 MPa as cylinders about 10 mm in diameter and subsequently sintered in a conventional furnace in air at 750 °C for 1 hour A mineralogical characterization of the sintered samples was made by X-ray diffraction (XRD with a SolX energy-dispersive detector) using CuKαradiation The microstructure of sintered specimens after polishing down to 1 μm and machining was studied by scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM The average bending strength of the machined rods was determined by a three-point bending test using 6 rods The tests were performed at room temperature using a 5 kN universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min with a 12 mm span Three-dimensional non-destructive imaging of the implant rods was performed using a high-resolution X-ray CT system (GE Phoenix X-ray Systems X-rays were produced with a 160 kV high-power nano-focus tube and transmission target configuration The projections were recorded in a 2300 × 2300 pixel Hamamatsu detector The voltage and current in the tube were set to 90 kV and 135 μA and X-rays were produced on a tungsten target We took 1,900 projections for the tomogram with a typical exposure time of 500 ms per projection Each projection was obtained as an average of 10 radiographies The X-ray tube of the “nanotom” is equipped with an external liquid cooling system to ensure stable measurement conditions and to minimize thermal influences during scans of long duration The cone beam XCT data were reconstructed using a filtered back-projection Feldkamp algorithm implemented in the phoenix datos|x reconstruction software from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies GmbH A beam hardening correction was applied to decrease the strong dependence of the attenuation coefficient of the interacting material on the photon energy The reconstructed data were visualized with the VGStudio Max 2.2 software and processed with ImageJ and in-house algorithms developed in Matlab This study was carried out in strict accordance with the Directive 2010/63/EU on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes The protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee for Animal Research Welfare of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre (Cáceres - Spain) with Permit Number: 031/12 Five one-year-old beagle dogs were used in this experiment to accomplish with the goal of reduction Reduction and Refinement) widely accepted ethical framework for conducting scientific experiments it is common practice to employ this number of animals for such experiments and thus satisfy statistical power requirements Dogs at the initiation of the experiment were 12 months old and 13.5 kg mean weight Refining dog husbandry and care was provided throughout the study veterinary assistance was used continuously and all efforts were made to minimize suffering General anesthesia was induced with intravenous injected propofol 10 mg/kg (Propofol Hospira Hospira Productos Farmacéuticos y Hospitalarios 7 endotracheal tube with a balloon cuff was placed and connected to a circular anesthesia circuit (Leon Plus The anesthesia was sustained with sevofluorane (Sevorane Multimodal analgesia was employed in the perioperatory (ketorolac 1 mg/kg [Toradol 30 mg All mandibular premolars and the first molar were extracted from the five male beagles. After three months of healing, mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated, and 10 rods (3 ± 0.2 mm in diameter and 6 mm long) machined from the sintered cylinders were implanted by the rod impaction method. The rods were installed in the edentulous region on both sides of the mandible (see Fig. 7) and stained with a combination of Harris hematoxylin and Wheatley The histological analysis was performed by using a transmitted light microscope (Optiphot 2-POL Japan) equipped with a digital camera (DP-12 FITC-albumin is dissolved at 350 μg·ml−1 in order to simulate the blood albumin concentration and is incubated with the rods for 48 h within nitrogen atmosphere The specimens were rinsed after incubation and dried under nitrogen stream The serum albumin diffusion inside the rod is monitored by visualizing the green-fluorescent probe using microscope fluorescence (BHT system microscope FITC has a maximum absorption at 490 nm and an emission peak at 525 nm The exposure times were set to 1.8 s in order to qualitatively evaluate the intensity differences Fluorescence images were acquired on the material surfaces and on cross-section by analyzing fracture surfaces at 4x magnification A parallel set of rods was immersed in PBS solution to be used as negative control Statistical differences between the reference and the investigated rod were assessed (t-Student Test Histological response of soda-lime glass-ceramic bactericidal rods implanted in the jaws of beagle dogs A correction has been published and is appended to both the HTML and PDF versions of this paper Treatment of Infections Associated with Surgical Implants Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030 Metallic implant drug/device combinations for controlled drug release in orthopaedic applications Bacterial adhesion to orthopedic implant polymers 10.1002/(SICI)1097-4636(199603)30:3<403::AID-JBM15>3.0.CO;2-K (1996) New anti-infective coatings of medical implants Ceramic/metal biocidal nanocomposites for bone-related applications Silver-hydroxyapatite nanocomposites as bactericidal and fungicidal materials Antimicrobial effects of silver nanoparticles Review: Emerging developments in the use of bioactive glasses for treating infected prosthetic joints Nanoparticles: Health effects - Pros and cons Metallomics insights for in vivo studies of metal based nanomaterials A review of the biomaterials technologies for infection-resistant surfaces Relating nanomaterial properties and microbial toxicity Glass powders with a high content of calcium oxide: A step towards a “green” universal biocide Evaluation in a dog model of three antimicrobial glassy coatings: Prevention of bone loss around implants and microbial assessments A new biocompatible and antibacterial phosphate free glass-ceramic for medical applications Mechanical performance of a biocompatible biocide soda-lime glass-ceramic Bone tissue scaffolds based on antimicrobial SiO2-Na2O-Al2O3-CaO-B2O3 glass Maxillary sinus floor augmentation on humans: Packing simulations and 8 months histomorphometric comparative study of anorganic bone matrix and β-tricalcium phosphate particles as grafting materials beta-tricalcium phosphate as bone graft substitutes: Histomorphometric longitudinal study in the rabbit cranial vault Maxillary sinus augmentation using xenogenic bone substitute material Bio-Oss® in combination with venous blood A histologic and histomorphometric study in humans Fabrication and characterization of sol-gel derived 45S5 Bioglass®-ceramic scaffolds In vitro formation of hydroxylapatite layer in a MgO-containing glass A review of the biological response to ionic dissolution products from bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics SiO2-based glass/bone interfacial reactions Bone tissue engineering: From bench to bedside and borate bioactive glass scaffolds with controllable degradation rate for bone tissue engineering applications In vitro and in vivo biological evaluation Stem cells associated with macroporous bioceramics for long bone repair: 6- To 7-year outcome of a pilot clinical study Review of bioactive glass: From Hench to hybrids Porosity of 3D biomaterial scaffolds and osteogenesis The development of bioactive glass-ceramic substrates with biocide activity A method for the study of undecalcified bones and teeth with attached soft tissues The Sage-Schliff (sawing and grinding) technique Diffusion of rhodamine B and bovine serum albumin in fibrin gels seeded with primary endothelial cells In vitro and in vivo evaluation of a novel nanosize hydroxyapatite particles/poly(ester-urethane) composite scaffold for bone tissue engineering Download references This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN) under the projects MAT2012-38645 Tomsia work was supported by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIH/NIDCR) Grant No Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Research Center (CINN) Elisa Fernández-García & Ramón Torrecillas Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) Conceived and designed the experiments: J.S.M.

All 15 Catholic Dioceses in Texas released lists of names of clergy members accused of "credible" claims of sexual abuse of minors The Diocese of Fort Worth released a list late last year and the other 14 released lists Thursday Peter and the dioceses made the decision to release the names back in September 2018 Officials had four months to compile each list. Each bishop released a statement with each list. It is estimated there are 8.5 million Catholics and 1,320 Catholic parishes in Texas making compiling each list "a major project," an October statewide news release said The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops has a list of contact information for victim assistance coordinators for each diocese in the state on its website.

Whether you're into hardcore experiences or looking for a bit of tranquility these parks have the perfect attraction to escape Madrid's dry heat (for a while) Aquopolis is one of the largest water parks in Europe and is undoubtedly the most famous in Madrid and usually ends in the first weeks of September Among its summer attractions is the white sand beach of two thousand square meters accompanied by a swimming pool with waves Its attractions are divided into High Thrill so if you are not ready for powerful adrenaline rushes you can easily choose the gentler ones or just take a dip in the pool If after watching The Little Mermaid movie you want to live the experience of swimming with a monofin which mythological being there are 30-minute classes for children over 5 years old The Amusement Park is one of those places where childhood memories are forged when you’ve grown up in the capital And although the great classics are the roller coasters of Abismo in summer other attractions steal the show with just the right amount of excitement: it is a boat descending through the water at high speed from which it is almost impossible to come out dry And finally there are The Rapids: the boat this time takes cylindrical shape and the rough waters are directing you to its mercy This park is far from the classic concept of a water park but it is no less interesting for that reason its leisure offer ranges from cableskiing to jet skis surfing… The area is equipped with two restaurants: La Cabaña pizzeria and Nassau Bar Music which has live music performances by DJs and a chill-outterrace the concept of water parks in Madrid is evolving and adapting to the search for more adventurous experiences and sports Stage 6 of the 2024 Vuelta a España began inside a Carrefour supermarket. Green jersey Wout van Aert and race leader Primož Roglič lined up by the checkouts with the smell of the butcher’s counter and vegetable aisle still in the air the French supermarket chain sponsors the race the choice of a southern Spanish supermarket feels very bizarre That’s not the only wacky stage location at the 2024 Vuelta. The riders are still to visit a business park on Stage 10 and a telecommunications office on the final day’s time-trial. Grand Tours don’t shy away from making rogue visits to niche local landmarks All three Grand Tours have beaten vineyard tours motorsports tracks and royal castles to death UNESCO World Heritage sites have had the pleasure of hosting these races from Mont Saint Michel to St Peter’s Square Although it was strange to see the Giro start in Denmark this list will honour the wackiest and strangest places to have held a Grand Tour stage Related questions you can explore with Ask Cyclist, our AI search engine.If you would like to ask your own question you just need to , Register or subscribe The 1994 Tour de France concluded with a stage from Disneyland Paris to the Champs Élysées The race also returned for two stages in 1997 to mark the fifth anniversary of the park The theme park was described as ‘cultural Chernobyl’ by Parisian critic Ariane Mnouchkine To counter the negative impact of the European franchise of Disneyland the unapologetically French Tour came to town to the newly built Main Street USA in the park It also gave the park some important TV time to advertise the latest Disney attraction Given that we got shots of Miguel Induráin with Minnie Mouse Mickey Mouse came out for the flag drop and wished the riders all the best on their final journey to Paris With the 50m-tall Sleeping Beauty Castle in sight Why have a real château when you can have the fake one Walt Disney built Mickey and Minnie returned to the Tour in the mid-2000s with their own floats in the publicity caravan The 1994 Tour de France was all about celebrating the big redevelopment efforts around Lille and northern France The opening prologue started and indeed finished outside the Euralille shopping centre now run by Australian conglomerate Westfield Stage 3 of the 1994 race took the peloton to another landmark of the modern age, the EuroTunnel. To honour the construction of the cross-Channel connection between France and the UK, the Tour de France headed to the transit station for a team time-trial. A sad lagoon of concrete and electricity wires the train terminal was hardly chosen for its natural beauty the site was included to mark the opening of the tunnel earlier that year Perhaps this was a symbolic gesture given that the following two stages ventured north to British shores To this day, this is the only stage to have ever taken place at the EuroTunnel terminal. The race against the clock was won by Johan Museeuw's GB-MG Maglificio-Bianchi team. In 2014, Team Sky did a promotional stunt in which Chris Froome rode from the UK to France through the tunnel there has sadly been no suggestion of this being added to the Tour's parcours A great shame for railway enthusiasts the world over One of the more recent races to be included on this list, the 2017 Vuelta a España appeased its sponsors by finishing a stage outside a ham factory. Yes, El Pozo, the official charcuterie provider of the Spanish race Matteo Trentin was a cut above and took the stage win ahead of Grand Tour stalwart José Joaquín Rojas no interviewer interrogated Trentin on the significance of winning in the shadow of the ham factory sounded like or even whether there were extra slices of jamón provided at the post-race press conference Trentin did describe the day as a 'steady grind' He really missed the chance to call it a 'meaty day' The city is spread across an archipelago with small canals and bridges cutting across the islands As one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions it was only a matter of time until the Giro pulled off a stunt in the city a 12km time-trial was organised throughout the city of Venice with a grand arrival at the Piazza San Marco under the iconic Campanile this pontoon allowed the race to cross the canal and make it to the final straight at the Piazza San Marco The 2014 Vuelta a España started right in the south of the country they set out from the Juan Carlos I aircraft carrier was used by the Vuelta to celebrate the Spanish Navy the riders played around on the 202-metre-long deck Some got to sit inside fighter jets while others marvelled at the bonkers nature of this unique stage setting the riders popped up onto the top deck on a hydraulic platform to sign on and perform pre-race interviews and photos We also finally got the chance to see Alejandro Valverde have his Top Gun moment in the cockpit of a fighter jet, while Alberto Contador was seen wearing a sailor's hat before the race To mark the start of the 2014 Giro d'Italia – and the first pro bike race in the north of Ireland – the Italian race headed to Belfast's Titanic Quarter the stage began outside the multi-million dollar Titanic Museum built at the beginning of the 2010s the museum is a Hollywood memorialisation of a massive shipping disaster Perhaps my own distaste for the museum might be shining through but the choice of starting the race by the Titanic Museum feels rather odd You could argue that this sets a strange precedent for more Grand Tour stages to begin outside museums dedicated to disasters cycling and the Titanic mixed in the same circles Commentators were left to scramble for facts behind the 'unsinkable ship' and the Hollywood-driven fame it became known for right and centre courtesy of an Italian bike race I haven't even mentioned the elephant in the room this is not the Vuelta's first rodeo at an industrial finish Stage 15 of the 2006 Vuelta a España opted for a less rogue but less logical stage arrival at a Ford factory on the outskirts of Valencia this is Ford's biggest manufacturing complex outside of the United States I'm sure there's a joke to be made about motor doping here somewhere which has a production capacity of 450,000 cars per year hosted a fierce sprint finale won by Gerolsteiner's Robert Förster this was not the first time the Vuelta visited the factory The race visited in 2004 and was passed by during a prologue in the 1983 edition of the Spanish Grand Tour We have seen a few Tour stages finish on luxurious runways in the mountains Megève and Mende have all adapted runways into the final approach to the line This is usually for convenience and parking rather than symbolic intent the race decided to honour the pink city of Toulouse's aviation heritage one of the world's biggest plane manufacturers The city also hosted a stage start from France's national space centre That said, on Stage 11 of the 2003 race the Tour headed for Toulouse-Montaudran Airport Air France used to fly from Montaudran to Buenos Aires These glamorous locations were replaced by the arrival of a Tour stage Arnold Schwarzenegger was among the spectators on the roadside that day It closed later in 2003 and has now been redeveloped into a new neighbourhood of the city that features an aviation museum an animatronic exhibition and a very large Leclerc supermarket In a race that finished in the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostella it felt fitting that the race would start in a holy setting This was taken all too literally with a time-trial ramp built inside Burgos' Cathedral It might be a stretch to say that the race started inside the cathedral as the course opened up from its doorway instead of inside of brushing past the pues and confession box like organisers suggested before the race set out from the cathedral for a short time-trial around the city The Vuelta really missed the chance to play the time-trial countdown tones on the cathedral's organs or bells The victory ceremonies were also conducted on the stairs of the cathedral just as the final stage's podium would soon appear in Santiago A full circle moment for the Spanish three-weeker The Tour's visits to theme parks – Disneyland as well as Futuroscope and volcano-themed Vulcania – are not in Grand Tour isolation The Parque Warner Madrid in San Martín de la Vega hosted two stages of the Vuelta back in 2002 After a successful visit to the Universal Studios in Port Aventura the year before the Vuelta took on the mantle of embracing the galore of the garish American-styled theme park once again for the 2002 race it was all the rage to visit theme parks in the 1990s and early 2000s the Vuelta rolled into Warner Bros Park for the penultimate stage finale of the 2002 edition Angelo Furlan took the Looney Tunes-themed park The rollercoasters must have been good because the race came back to the Warner Bros Park the day after for a time-trial roll-out the final stage ended on a red carpet inside Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium You must be logged in to post a comment To manage an existing Cyclist magazine subscription, please visit Manage your
