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
