September 1, 2006 РAccording to an AFP report a local resident of Caceres, Spain, lodged an official complaint on Tuesday against the peloton at the Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain) for breaking the speed limit in his town. The peloton often rolls along at speeds over 60 km/hr whereas the speed limit in Spanish towns is only 50 km/hr. Local police spokesman, C̩sar Garcia confirmed that the complaint had been made but that it was considered more of a colorful anecdote for their archives.
