Itzulia Basque Country 2025, April 7th-12th

[Potomac]

Del Toro is wasted as a domestique. I would like to see him with freedom or as leader.

As a GC candidate or stage hunter?

Wasted?

He has been awesome as a dom.

He is still very young and will be getting his own chances. Took a really good win in Milano-Torino. I think they are managing him quite well and letting him develop in his own pace. Not putting a huge amount of pressure on him.

 

[Samamba]

Is Onley missing?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hold back a bit Healy and try and sit on the train.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Del Toro getting annoyed with Jegat for not working is very silly.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Did Red Bull poach a DS from UAE or what?

 

[noob]

The way Almeida gets everyone to pull is off putting

 

[Samamba]

Schachmann group is coming closer

 

[Salvarani]

The way Almeida gets everyone to pull is off putting

?

Both Mas and Skjelmose wants podium.

What is Jegat doing here anyway?
Doesn't he understand that he's supposed to score points for the Spring Classics CQ Game?

 

[noob]

?

Yes but Almeida got 2 teammates and the sorbet jersey

 

[Samamba]

?

Both Mas and Skjelmose wants podium.

Yeah I really don't understand why people are questioning this. Of course they are riding? It's their best shot at a higher GC and stage win. Why would anyone want 8 guys extra in the mix?

Healy doesn't seem to understand that either.

Is that really a surprise?

Skjelmose is riding for the 2nd place.
Mas is actually having a chance to climb up to third overall.
Nys is riding for Skjelmose and possibly also for his own stage win.
Soler and Del Toro are Almeidas team mates.
Jegat is mostly just sitting on.

I think it looks perfectly normal.

 

[pastronef]

ahah Soler and Healy having a laugh

 

[Salvarani]

Yes but Almeida got 2 teammates and the sorbet jersey

So?

It doesnt matter at all here.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Healy caught, ah well, it was fun while it lasted. Maybe next time.

 

[Salvarani]

Nys can win the stage lol

 

[Samamba]

Lipo going hard

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Lipo going hard

Gone pretty far into the red in the past few minutes by the looks of it.

 

[Samamba]

Nys dropped and Almeida goes

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes but Almeida got 2 teammates and the sorbet jersey

"Sorbet jersey"?
Sorbet is not a colour... I don't think the jersey is made of sorbet, that would be a sticky mess.

 

[Salvarani]

Almeida!

Attacks

wow

 

[Samamba]

Good to see that Martin remained a meme rider at FDJ

Yeah normal. But rubbed me the wrong way that he asked them. Now I hope he will do some work himself too.
