Itzulia Basque Country 2025, April 7th-12th

[QueenStagiaire]

Four Intermarché riders DNS‘d today, some of them were already at the medical car yesterday, so sickness I would guess?

Big mistake from astana not to send someone in this big break

 

[Tim Cahill]

It’s like all the good riders in bad form decided to hit the break. A few threats in there too.

 

[Brullnux]

Laurance and Jegat are close enough to be a worry, I think (3:18).

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's it Ben, attack a group of 20, only a mere 110k and 4 mountains to go.

Martínez is doing all the riding, it is indeed not Ben

Errmmmmm sep kuss is in this race?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The breakaway has regrouped now, Armirail just caught Martínez for the KOM points.

Don't think Castrillo made it back to the front (yet). Laurance was caught by the peloton.

edit: Castrillo as well

 

[Netserk]

Waste of Krabellin in this spot.

 

[Potomac]

Somebody from the break wins today?
I think so.

I see it's raining... yep... nothing can go wrong for Joao

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the climbs.

 

[noob]

Bit late for the rain jacket Alex
