It would be a special day for the cyclists of the region, it turned into an altercation between the police and the athletes, who saw the start of the traditional Rosario-Ensenada Cycling Tour interrupted when a patrol of the Municipal Police of Playas de Rosarito crossed the middle of the street to prevent the participants from leaving.

As was recorded in several videos, officers of the Rosarito Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection commanded by Javier Arellano, cut off access to the security fences and gave way to the unit, because according to a statement from the City Council, the race organizers did not pay for the necessary permits.

However, despite the attempt to prevent the race by the administration of Mayor Aracely Brown, who is in Mexico City, the more than 4,000 participants continued with the walk, but without protection from the Municipal Police, that opened circulation to vehicles on the toll highway to Ensenada.

The sabotage attempt by the municipal authorities of Rosarito occurred at the time of the departure of the professional and semi-professional category, right in front of the Rosarito hotel, on Benito Juárez boulevard.

The Operations Director, Ana Castro, released her version of the events recorded on the Rosarito bike ride, where she mentioned that the authorities at one point supported reducing traffic.

However, the authorities came to want to suspend the event due to lack of procedures, indicating that they have been talking with Cotuco for more than three months, with the committee being the intermediary for all events.

He maintains that he asked for a very high charge, he also affirms that the police units arrived before the exit to block the way for the cyclists and an agent even hit several of them.

"An officer who was there forced citizen vehicles to get between the cyclists, the citizens did not want to get in because they were respecting cyclists on the street and the officer forced them," said Ana Castro.
