When the luxury coach normally used by WorldTour team Cannondale-Drapac broke down on the Vuelta, the riders went back to getting changed out of the back of a van.
The luxury coach is the ultimate sign you've made it. If you're getting changed before or after a race in one of those bad boys, you're riding for a big team.
But sometimes, no matter how much money teams have at their disposal, things go wrong and you have to go back to basics; to roll with the punches as it were.
WorldTour team Cannondale-Drapac were visited by an horrific first world problem today on the Vuelta when the team's usually very slick and reliable luxury bus broke down.
And at the end of the stage the lads could be seen at the back of a van getting changed al fresco; a return to their amateur ‘Hi-Ace days’.
