Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

[Hugo Koblet]

Solid leadout by Arrieta. But hey, what's he supposed to do?

 

[Berniece]

Nice win for Laurance

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It's funny how every signing by that lame german supermarket has been a massive flop

They have had 6 riders join them from other senior teams this year: 5 of them have more points than they had this time last year.


If you are going to try to spout your dislike, you'll have to research it better.

Arrieta did all that wheel-sucking only to then lead Laurance out with an attempted 300m uphill sprint

The Peloton is only a minute behind with some meme team performances (Lidl and Redbull).

Like father like son when it comes to tactics, evidently.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Igor Gaviria with the long ranger, did everything right then panicked a bit, maybe trying to catch him napping.

 

[KZD]

The Itzulia of the French.

Deserved win for Laurence.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sadly the wrong place in the region to call him Laurance of Araba.

 

[postmanhat]

Great win by Laurance. Disappointing lack of handlebar-banging from G2.

 

[Rob5091]

That was a long uphill sprint - chapeau Laurance.

 

[noob]

What's with Del Toro btw? I only watched the last 10 km

Crashed out.

I just saw it now that I looked at twitter. He maybe should try skateboard or freestyle. It looked awful :O

Hayter seems to be in decent shape. Rather unusual for him to finish a road stage with the favorites. More or less no matter what it looks like.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Nice finish by some French guy in yellow but they didnt tell him there was a breakaway ahead.

Love that he competes like that.

Can you share a link? Thx!

 

[proffate]

I've raced for over 20 years but ok 🤷

ah, ok. And how many teammates had the pleasure of being chased down by you in that span?

 

[red_flanders]

did somebody switch his brakes?? why is he even braking.. did something get stuck in his spokes??

ok so I think he was lining up to go around the left side of the roundabout then for some reason decided he had to go around the right, panicked and grabbed a handful of brake

It's wild. Seems like if your line is off (why?) you'd just bunny hop the curb rather than make a sudden movement.
