Former pro racer Ángel Casero noted, "We got 1.60 metres (5.25 feet) of water and everything on the shelves and in boxes was destroyed. The only things that were saved were the signposts, which we had stored the highest." Casero spoke about the ongoing efforts to clean up, stating, "We are cleaning and throwing everything away and, once we finish, we will review the Excel file and quantify the losses."
A situation update from Casero clarified, "We had planned to make the presentation in December and we will not be able to do it... We will have to wait all of November to see what situation the towns are in, how the subsidies are for next year and to see what happens." He emphasized, "Now all we do is remove mud and throw things away. The problem is that it never ends."
Casero further explained, "It is clear that now the only function we have is to leave everything mobile and in place." He lamented the loss of critical race infrastructure, explaining, "The race lost their tents, inflatables used to mark the finishes, and everything from merchandise to volunteer vests and tools." All of which will delay the preparation for the 76th edition of the race.
