Itzulia Basque Country 2025, April 7th-12th

[Tim Cahill]

Ffs just turned it on to see there was a crash involving none other than Ethan Hayter

Back on with what looks like slight cuts apparently

 

[Unchained]

Coverage completely dismisses the breakaway, very little camera coverage, instead watching the back of the bunch, 60k to go, snooze fest by design

 

[noob]

Thank you for explaining that I don't need to watch this stage

Of course you need to watch the stage.
Always watch the stage.

I'm watching this. Literally, nothing is happening. If ever a race needed the Pog, it's not this one or any other one.

It's a flat stage, what did you expect Pogacar to do today?

Ruin the race

 

[Sciatic]

It;s the only flat road stage in the race, giving sprinters reason to be here. Seems like that ratio of flat:hilly/mountainous should be tolerable for cycling fans

 

[search]

Isasa goes solo with 5k to go. With no real sprint team behind, he may have a small chance.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What did Ineos even bring Ewan for if they aren't trying to bring this one back?

Edit: there they are.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wide, straight road. crash.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm watching this. Literally, nothing is happening. If ever a race needed the Pog, it's not this one or any other one.

So you like a race about nothing, with no stories?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Was Campanerts trying to Maciejuk that or just forced off?

 

[Sciatic]

Guess not, but was great to see him showing the team (and region) colors till the bitter end.

 

[Escarabajo]

Can we say that the position of the moto didn't help?

 

[carolina]

Fantastic work from Ineos.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The lesser seen 2025 excellent positioning from Ewan!!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where else was it supposed to go?

 

[pastronef]

yes!
first WT win for Ewan in AGES

 

[RedheadDane]

Ewan takes it.
His first WT win since... when?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The lesser seen 2025 excellent positioning from Ewan!!!

It helps when there are no other sprinters.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Easy win by Ewan. Time to go home again.

 

[Samamba]

Good positioning and a WT win is a WT win, but holy *** what is this sprinters field. Is that Van Boven in 2nd lol?

 

[Didinho]

Easiest win of his career. What the actual top 10 is this.

 

[Samamba]

This has to be one of the worst top 10s in a WT sprint in a long time
