Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

[Dazed and Confused]

Soler time.... lets go.

Uno-X taking the climb in a steady pace to get their domestiques to get over the climb with the group.

 

[Boehmand]

Well played from UNO X.

I'm pretty surprised why Johannessen is never in the middle of the rumor mill. When fit, he's just very good and ridiculously consistent. He's also one of the few guys with insane recuperation who gets better in GTs.

Tbc, I'm happy he isn't cause cycling needs guys like him at teams like UNO X.

I think he is the kind of rider, who would end up a luxury dom on the big budget teams.

Also I think Norwegian riders feel a lot of loyalty to Uno-X - the first ever Norwegian WT team.

Smart with the longer valley coming up.

 

[Red Rick]

Big mistake by Red Bull - and many other teams, to not be in this breakaway.

Not the only sensible thing is to pull.

 

[Rou]

Javi Romo with a GC attack.

 

[Netserk]

romooooooooo !

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so with 60kms to go including a 20k flat part, the boys in the front group attacks left, right and center....

 

[Samamba]

Romo goes.

Must be frustrated about yesterday and now about to lose his top 10

makes sense, I guess, as THJ would be at risk of having to do all the work if he bridges to the front. But Healy in front looks better and better every day. He may be able to keep those guys behind.

 

[Boehmand]

I have no idea why these 3 dummies keep attacking each other up the 3rd last climb, with 63K to go - including a long flat part

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Romo is at +5mins (GC). Interesting.

 

[Rou]

Lipo attack

 

[Heston]

so with 60kms to go including a 20k flat part, the boys in the front group attacks left, right and center....

Well it is Soler and Healy after all

 

[Rou]

This is the type of stage where Roglic can collapse

 

[Samamba]

This is looking really good for Johannessen to move up a lot in GC. GC riders going themselves means there are barely domestiques left there.

 

[Boehmand]

Haha, Skjelmose was riding behind the camera bike, that's why - after a while - the bike dropped back from Healy and Soler and we got a shot of them from long away

 

[Heston]

Smart attack by Romo I would say. Probably hoping Seixas/Lipo bridge to him and he can gain time on some riders in the top 10 that way

 

[Rou]

Rogla is weak. Such a disappointment..

 

[Samamba]

yeah Roglic is dropped

 

[Netserk]

rogla dead

 

[Rou]

Lipowitz really tries to ruin Roglic.
It would be funny if it wasn't tragic.

 

[red_flanders]

Roglic is now the guy whose team pulls to defend his 3rd place in Itzulia

The definitive fall from grace

Funny, but honestly why wouldn't they. Podiums have value for teams.

 

[RedheadDane]

I don't envy the people in charge of the graphics! What with the groups constantly changing.

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

Roglic is so washed up
