The Basque Country is a part of Spain. Many Basques feel Spanish, many feel Basque, others feel both in different degrees. The only reason why the Vuelta has not gone through the Basque Country in the last years is because the terrorists of ETA and it supporters have boycotted the race. So, it's an auspicious sign that the Vuelta a España is coming back to a place where cycling is lived with such a passion.
Extrapolating the fact that only 33% of Basques want independence and that only about 15% of that 33% are radical independists... Anybody here find it rational that 15% of the population forcefully prevent the remaining 85% from enjoying one of the 3 Big Ones from entering their territory?
