Ruta del Sol – Vuelta Ciclista a Andalucía 2026, February 18-22

[Dazed and Confused]

Still not a bad option for a developing sprinter when you have riders like Van Poppel and Soderquist to lead out sprints.

Soderquist riders for Lidl.

Soderquist riders for Lidl.

Yes. they have the 2 Van Dike brothers to help.

Kooij also had them until he got tired of waiting to go to the Tour and other important races where Vingegaard and Van Aert were the leaders.

Sprinters shouldn't join teams with multiple GC leaders. They end up regretting it.
Philipsen was smart and left UAE.

We are discussing Craabe a developing sprinter with Flanders Baloise. he's probably 3 to 5 years off going to the TDF.

 

[Cycling111]

Will the breakaway win ? None of them have a chance in the GC.

 

[Netserk]

they are there for their captains in the bunch

 

[Rou]

Beautiful crowds. This is ciclismo.
History, tradition, prestige.
Petrodollars can't buy that.

 

[Squire]

This climb is gonna be fun next time they go up it.

 

[Netserk]

laporte down

 

[Tim Cahill]

You can't be *** serious

 

[Cycling111]

Laporte crashed.

 

[Salvarani]

Ouch

 

[Tim Cahill]

Laporte was walking around which is good I suppose but he looked dazed, the kind of face I'd make if I had a big headache with the sun blazing into my eyes.

 

[Netserk]

i think he is about 5 positions down the first rider who touches his brakes too hard

 

[Samamba]

Such a disappointing Ruta del Sol, as expected with the parcours ofc but with them gifting it to Romeo isn't even exciting for GC in the end

 

[Tim Cahill]

The lone Movistar rider is doing a good job snuffing out all these fires, Cepeda I think?

 

[Netserk]

if laporte crashed by landing on the riders who went down first, he probably isnt too badly hurt

 

[Netserk]

unox should not chase

edit okay, this is the way

 

[Salvarani]

if laporte crashed by landing on the riders who went down first, he probably isnt too badly hurt

Looked like bruises and stiffness from going down

And that he was like more disappointed by the looks of it, obviously

yeah agreed

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wærenskjold training for next week, otherwise he probably just waits for a sprint, looks kinda good
