Erola Jons, a Spanish influencer, is in hot water following her debut at the Vuelta. During her appearances, several inappropriate remarks were made, particularly aimed at cyclist Tadej Pogacar. These comments have been widely criticized by both sports figures and social media users.

The Vuelta organization had enlisted Jons to deliver light-hearted content on their channels. However, the reactions to her jokes have been predominantly negative, with many branding them as 'embarrassing.'

Critics point out that no one should have to tolerate being treated as an object. This criticism reflects the tone and nature of Jons’ humor, which did not resonate well with the audience.

After two race days, it appears that Pogacar himself is not the most discussed figure at the Vuelta; that 'honor' goes to Jons and her remarkable presence. Her approach has sparked an intense debate about respect and decency in sports.

According to various sources, reactions have been mixed, but predominantly negative comments prevail. Many spectators and fans of the sport are disappointed with how Jons has filled her role during the event.

The Vuelta organization has yet to issue an official response to the uproar surrounding Erola Jons, and it remains unclear what actions, if any, will be taken. The situation continues to be a topic of discussion among sports enthusiasts and on social media.
