Tour de France 2017: London turns down chance to host start -
Police find €12,000 bicycle stolen from Tour of Spain sold for €120
Spanish police have recovered a bicycle stolen during the Vuelta a España after spotting it in a second-hand shop
A bicycle worth €12,000 (£8800) stolen during the Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain) has been found on sale for a hundredth of its value in a second-hand shop by two Spanish policemen.
Malaga police spotted one of Orica Greenedge team's bicycles while inspecting a shop for suspected stolen goods on Sunday. The bike was stolen a few hours earlier from the Australian team's camp during the Vuelta. The Vuelta arrived in Malaga on August 24, on the third stage of the three-week race.
The "exceptional technical features" of the bicycle and its low price - on sale for only €120 - attracted police attention, they said in a statement.
Upon inquiring about it they discovered it was sold to the shop by a Malaga resident with a "long police record."
"His race ends in jail," Spanish police said on their official Twitter account together with a picture of the rightful owner being returned the bicycle

Runners-up Etixx-QuickStep finish 11 seconds down, Movistar gets bronze
BMC won their second consecutive World Championship team time trial title Sunday in a hard-fought four-way battle with Etixx-QuickStep, Orica-GreenEdge and the Movistar Team. The US team set the fastest splits at each of the three intermediate time checks and then finished strong in downtown Richmond, coming in 11 seconds faster than runner-up Etixx-QuickStep and 30 seconds better than third-placed Movistar.
Tinkoff-Saxo came out the big losers, with Michael Rogers and Michael Valgren crashing as the team approached the second intermediate time check, forcing the squad to pause and regroup. They eventually finished last on the day, more than eight minutes off the winning mark.
BMC, on the other hand, cruised over the 38.8km course without issues, while Etixx put in their own flawless ride, consistently coming in just behind BMC in all the time splits.

The battle for the bronze medal between Movistar and Orica played out much differently, however, with the Australian team starting out strong but fading near the end, while the Spanish team added to its power in the finale. Movistar was sixth fastest in the first time split, then fourth and third.
