Itzulia Basque Country 2025, April 7th-12th

[Sciatic]

What a pickle Joao has got himself into once again.

He was uncomfortable riding at the front on the last climb so decided to put himself in the more familiar position of coming from behind on the final climb

 

[Netserk]

Del Toro may end up hindering the chase as Cofidis stopped pulling once he came back. And Vlasov is better on the flat.

Climb starts with 6.8 km to go.

EDIT: Cofidis is still pulling too.

Thanks! Not much in the press about him.

True, it was something in columbian media a few weeks ago and I saw this video yesterday (if you understand spanish maybe).

UAE should not have sacrificed Del Toro IMO, numbers in the GC battle can make all the difference on this route and in this field.

And if they were going to, they should have made the call sooner.

 

[SafeBet]

So Almeida puts himself in a hole and now UAE sacrifices their only other remaining option for GC. What could go wrong?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Lipowitz listening to the people obsessed with draft

 

[Netserk]

McNulty made it back.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What a great stage, it's like one of those medium mountain ambush stages deep into a Grand Tour.

he's at the very back, maybe all of UAE feels sick?

 

[Netserk]

Also good for the upcoming stages that RedBull are weaker in reality than on paper.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Del Toro called back and is now at the end of the Almeida group.
Best tactics by UAE as usual.

That's kind true for most of their season so far isn't it?

 

[Netserk]

Nuggets done. Del Toro, are you ready once more?

Tried it once and now is smoked.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wilco should attack first to 'soften things up for Axel'

 

[Salvarani]

Proper murito coming up

 

[Netserk]

They won't make it in time to catch Lipo.

 

[Sciatic]

Love these country lane climbs

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lipowitz doing a fine job 'working for Vlasov and Martinez'

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Schachmann lives!

 

[Netserk]

Aranburu!

 

[Netserk]

KelderGOAT in fine form!

 

[Samamba]

Aranburu officially a climber. Watch him lose the sprint

 

[Tim Cahill]

Max Schachmann looks like Voeckler on there

 

[Lequack]

Great to see the two Germans in great form, especially Schachmann, after so many troubles with illness. I remember him going 1 to 1 with Roglic in the past in some races.
