Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2025, Spain, February 5-9

[Lequack]

How will UAE drill it up the Poggio in Milano Sanremo if they can't even win a simple TTT against heavy riders on worse bikes.

 

[Peyroteo94]

UAE without Pogacar look like a team full of amateurs.

In terms of the main GC favourites:

1. Ben O'Connor
2. João Almeida +3
3. Brandon McNulty+3
4. Aleksandr Vlasov +4
5. Jai Hindley+4
6. Carlos Rodriguez+7
7. Thyman Arensmen +7
8. Jefferson Cepeda +19
9. Lenny Martinez+25
10. Jack Haig +25

Yeah I'm a little biased including Haig haha

Given the route is not that hard Vacek may have a chance of clinging on quite well given a 46 second lead.

 

[Netserk]

Tomorrow, it's this until 9.8 km to go on the profile and then Partegat:

Given the route is not that hard Vacek may have a chance of clinging on quite well given a 46 second lead.

I think he might even lose it after today, although 46s is quite a lot.

I think he might even lose it after today, although 46s is quite a lot.

Today is the most critical day as the rest of the route is not overly selective.

 

[Potomac]

There won't be many km left when the tv coverage starts

 

[Tim Cahill]

Unsure how far he can get, though he's a great rider, but Vacek is going to have a crack today, always enjoy seeing riders like this end up trying to cling on for dear life when they unexpectedly get the race lead.

Poor Amanuel.
No special jersey for him.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Tobias Fuss has a terrible hairline.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is that Steve Cummings commentating?

A strange choice, his voice can be a bit meandering, go on Rob ask him about Pidcock.

Maybe he's getting a media career lined up for if things don't go well for him at Jayco.

 

[Samamba]

Lutsenko not in Astana jersey is just a big no no

 

[Netserk]

They should let Almeida go.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Multiple attacks from Almeida and Sivakov closed easy by the Eritrean, man is flying!!!

 

[Netserk]

This won't end well.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Foss has all the look of a man who can't believe he's managed to stay out here this long.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Freed from the chains of Movistarian mediocrity, Ivan Sosa is still there.

 

[Netserk]

Vacek finally leaning hard on Ineos to mark the moves?

 

[Rob5091]

Foss & Ganna the new climbing stars for Ineos?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Iván Romeo looking quite good

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Go-go, Romeo!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Would be really nice if Pello can take the win

 

[Tim Cahill]

Enjoying UAE's comedy antics, shame Ayuso and Marc aren't here though

 

[Netserk]

Nice situation. Be strong, Vacek!
