public sources claim that “TVE has an excellent relationship with Perico Delgado, in fact, will be the next commentator back to Spain in August.” “Regarding the tour, we are in negotiations these days that have not yet been closed,” they add.

Already last year, TVE cut the budget awarded to the Tour, and Pedro Delgado traveled to French soil to continue the race, he had to do from Madrid. This year the plan was the same. This problem will not be repeated in the next edition of the Vuelta, since Delgado will be supported by Telefónica.
