Itzulia Basque Country 2025, April 7th-12th

[RedheadDane]

Schachmann starting the intermediate sprint somewhat early.

 

[Netserk]

Lipo is so inexperienced. It shows.

But he did end up in a group without Almeida!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Well now Lipowitz is ahead

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The hell is Almeida doing?

 

[Samamba]

What a weird stage

 

[acm]

His delayed start to the season was because of an injury, no? Which is also why he will probably be no better in the Giro than he was in the Vuelta last year. But maybe he can come good in time for the Tour.

No, he had stomach virus twice.

 

[Netserk]

You mean because of less tire friction on the road the other one was faster? I agree.

The rolling resistance increases when you only ride on one wheel.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

How did Almeida amass 40 seconds of a deficit in such a short time? What did I miss? Only saw Schachmann attacking and a group forming.
Almeida just chilling in the back noticig nothing?

 

[Netserk]

No, he had stomach virus twice.

Thanks! Not much in the press about him.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What a pickle Joao has got himself into once again.

The rolling resistance increases when you only ride on one wheel.

All the more reason he is faster than, better grip!

 

[Netserk]

What a pickle Joao has got himself into once again.

Soler is already spent after the superidiot rode his own race.

 

[postmanhat]

Laurance has put himself in a good position for thie stage if this group stays away.

Terrible race for Visma.

 

[SafeBet]

Cofidis saving Almeida?

 

[Samamba]

Samitier about to save Almeida cause they believe in Aranburu, who tbf was cimbing with the 10 bests earlier.

 

[Red Rick]

Peak Almeida moment

 

[Netserk]

Del Toro is the only helper left for Almeida.

 

[SafeBet]

Del Toro is the only helper left for Almeida.

He's in Lipo's group though.

 

[Netserk]

He's in Lipo's group though.

Yep. He probably rides his own GC too. Peak UAE.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I think Lipowitz will attack as soon as they hit the climb.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I think Lipowitz will attack as soon as they hit the climb.

Nah, they‘ll just get caught before the climb

 

[Red Rick]

Cofidis closing this is reason #1631 Cycling deserves its impending death

 

[Mayomaniac]

Now they ordered Del Toro back, typical UAE clownshow...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Cofidis closing this is reason #1631 Cycling deserves its impending death

It‘s a good chance for Aranburu today

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Nah, they‘ll just get caught before the climb

Doesn't matter, I think he'll attack. Because I think he feels strong and as a aggressive defense.
