Vuelta a España La Vuelta Femenina 2023 (1st-7th May)

[RedheadDane]

I don't think she'll lose a minute. Question is if Realini can make the podium.

I have reasons to hope she does!

 

[JosefK]

Looks like Vollering will have it.

 

[ice&fire]

AVV climbing style always looks like she's struggling. She reminds me of Gesink.

 

[IndianCyclist]

15s/km required

 

[Netserk]

Realini will win the stage, so only 2 bonus seconds on net.

 

[ice&fire]

15s/km required

Not feasible with two short descents still pending

 

[jimmy_8888888]

AVV will win the GC, road running out for Vollering

 

[JosefK]

AVV starting to look like Tommy Voeckler at 2011 TDF.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Drop the bottle, Gaia. It's like half your body weight!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

This is gonna be so close but unless AVV massively cracks at the end she should just hold it with the descent.

 

[Dk one]

Avvs spring season did not lie, she is not the strongest rider in the world anymore.

 

[Didinho]

Drop the bottle, Gaia. It's like half your body weight!

She needs it for the descent!

 

[Didinho]

Gonna be close for GC!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Dramatic finish, enjoyed that

 

[Salvarani]

Very close for Vollering in the end, but not enough.

 

[JosefK]

Wow! Just held on by a hair,.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Finally something SD Worst don't win.

 

[Netserk]

Quite satisfying to have it end so close in this manner. Underscores all the more how Vollering lost the race yesterday.

 

[Red Rick]

Never in doubt once AvV could follows Vollerings first attack

 

[BR2]

I'm not a fan of van Vleuten in general and it's bad for my Amy Pieters game, but that was an epic fight from van Vleuten and I'm actually happy for her.

 

[Red Rick]

Honestly almost looks like Vollering had too much in the tank in that final km

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Fantastic final stage, I just love Covadonga (although it's always foggy it seems)
Brilliant Vuelta this with every stage delivering a different story.

Very good race indeed.

Yeah, it did look like Vollering stayed within her limits maybe for a bit too long. OTOH, if you have something left for an uphill sprint like that you can take a lot of seconds in a few hundred meters.

Yes the stage really delivered. As unfortunate as yesterday was it made today much better. Great win by Vollering and also great strength by AVV to keep fighting.
