Clásica San Sebastián 2025, one day race, August 2

[Lequack]

It's the biggest one day race in Spain, favoring climbers. All the big guns will be here, some from the Tour like Roglic, Onley, Lenny Martinez, Powless.
And some fresh ones like Hirschi, Del Toro, Ayuso, Vine, Ciccone. So who will win in this big pool of talent? This is the big return of Ayuso, who will want to prove himself on Spanish soil, after getting stung by a bee in the Giro and having to abandon.

Wonder why Pog didn't come to win this, with not going to the Vuelta and all, plus he hasn't won it yet.

Meanwhile, Roglic already saying he's tired:

He doesn't care about this race. Easy explanation.

The Spanish will not like that! He already shunned the Vuelta, and now this!

Hirschi was so anonymous in the Tour that @Lequack didn't realise he rode it.

I agree that Pogacar could have come given that he is skipping the Vuelta. But I believe Del Toro will be able to fill his shoes.

The Spanish (and basque) are probably happy they can watch good races without him

We the people of the cyclingnews forum are getting out circlejerked by reddit.

 

[RedheadDane]

Which one of you guys is it?

 

[Lequack]

If he has his tour form, he is a good bet for tomorrow

 

[CyclistAbi]

Should Rogla be next James Bond?

 

[Sciatic]

Unless he gets in a break with 10’ gap I doubt it, as he’s just not at the level of climbing as the top guys here.

No way he holds form this long

Oh ***, Free Bird again?

I'd prefer Del Toro, though.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Del Toro ftw

 

[hayneplane]

Del Toro ftw

He is a very heavy favourite to win with the bookies.

If Onley has managed to carry his form from the Tour then he should be a prime contender but it’s always hard to know who will be dead legged and DNF and who will come from the Tour with super compensation form.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Surely Rogla will launch on Erlaitz and if needed to drop the rest on Murgil?

 

[Rob5091]

Hard to look past UAE for the win ( Roglic is probably pooped still from the Tour and UAE can use multiple guys). Lenny VE was there at the end last year, so an unexpected guy on the podium probably.
