The future of the Vuelta a Burgos does not look good. According to AS, the political party PSOE has presented a proposal to scrap the subsidy to the cycling race.

The Provincial Institute for Sport and Youth pay € 700,000 to the Vuelta a Burgos every year. Should the grant be deleted, the future of the race is  in danger. The most recent edition would not have been held without the subsidy. 

This year Alberto Contador won the Vuelta a Burgos which is traditionally an important preparation race for the Vuelta a Espana.
