    Vuelta a España Rate the 2025 Vuelta a España

    Yeah, this isn't just about cornering, it appears she's simply not comfortable at speed at all on the bike, even when going straight. You can just see how tense she is...

    Agreed, but compared to these two they were golden! Really disappointing someone thought this was the pair to go with for the TOUR DE FRANCE. :p
