Vuelta a España La Vuelta Femenina 2025 (May 4-10)

[Didinho]

The break should stay in front for the intermediate with more than a minute for 10km. Slight headwind so no one willing to pull yet in the peloton.

Edit: nvm they will be caught soon. The break lost a lot on these “uphill” parts.

 

[Sciatic]

A snoozefest today due to the lack of wind. Maybe we'll get a battle for the intermediate sprint if they catch the break beforehand.

At least we can see some of the views with the clear skies. Would have been nice to have a decent climb close to finish to look forward to.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, let's just place a sprint at the end of a descent.

 

[Didinho]

The fastest descent right before the intermediate.

 

[ice&fire]

From the creators of a stage finish 150m after a U-turn we get today an intermediate sprint in a descent.

Well at at least there's still 300m left from the last turn today.

But it has shattered the peloton now.

Paternoster misplaced the intermediate sprint line. What a disaster!

 

[Didinho]

Wollaston behind.

 

[Sciatic]

there is some wind, but not enough to make a big difference I guess.

 

[Sciatic]

Storks!!

 

[Didinho]

Paternoster misplaced the intermediate sprint line. What a disaster!

I think she just stopped pedaling because she couldn’t gain positions, to save some energy but didn’t expect someone coming from behind. Was close, they still don’t know how was 3rd.

Edit: Paternoster 3rd.

Gerritse virtual new leader. And expecting Vos to take over at the finish. Hope Letizia can surprise and hold on to the jersey one more day.

 

[Didinho]

Echelons!

 

[Sciatic]

that split might stick if they keep pushing the pace

There was a line 30 metres before the intermediate sprint line. She pulled up at the first line. Anyway cross wnds is making for exciting racing.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They continue to ride north on this road until 3 km before the line, but the wind direction was apparently not ideal anymore.

You don't expect Gerritse to finish in the top-3 today?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

You don't expect Gerritse to finish in the top-3 today?

It will depend on how many sprinters are left in the group at the finish. Yesterday she got taken out by Ferguson's crash, so we don't really know how strong she is compared to the rest.

 

[RedheadDane]

Stærke just gave Schmidt a challenge for tomorrow:
Count how many classification jerseys Vos has held over the years.

She declined...

She would probably also get it wrong.

 

[Sciatic]

Jumped the curb and almost took out a little kid

I’m just hoping. But Gerritse looks really strong indeed. Same with Vos. Will be hard to regain the jersey. She just has to be 1 position in front of Femke if they both top 3. Vos needs to make up 6” and 8”.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Big crash.

 

[Didinho]

SD-Worx perfectly timed.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They could have let VDB ride away there.

 

[Didinho]

Strong teamwork does so much in women sprints. Really strong sprint and the double for Gerritse.

Paternoster again on her own in the last km.
