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

[Salvarani]

Peloton still pretty big

UAE, Bahrain and Lidl have most of their guys left

Might be some steep ramps here and there on what is left on the route, that could be a bit hidden? Twisty and narrow roads?

Still, will probably be a sprint at the end for the win.

 

[Sciatic]

Ironic considering the improvement comes also with Nairo’s return last year.

Perhaps the improvement came when they ditched the traditional Movistar blue (which I miss) for their current kit.

Eurosport deciding to show a race from last year.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem is lidl would have to ride at a Milan-sustainable tempo on hilly terrain

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

But good luck trying to find a race calendar.

I prefer Firstcycling there too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jayco not doing too much in the race so fancy helping pull back someone who actually is great work.

 

[Sciatic]

Castrillo just needs to get his tongue out for the full Thomas Voelkler effect

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great try Pablo but I think that's it, maybe could act as a springboard for the Movistar 1-2

There is an uncategorized climb with about 10 km to go that will be a good spot to counter from the chase group.

 

[Lequack]

Is Milan a better climber than Groves?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Ivan go now

 

[Netserk]

Come on Ivan go now

In 2 km.

 

[Netserk]

Santi looking good here.

 

[Lequack]

This is the best Movistar in a long time.

 

[Netserk]

Milan detached.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cepeda looks class

 

[Netserk]

Somewhat technical finish, a long sprint is the way to go.

 

[perico]

behold the brilliance of Chente.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Almeida's positioning leaves a bit to be desired, it's a hard final too

 

[Netserk]

Milan detached.

Or not. Damn.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Milan is getting over that Poggio this year

 

[Netserk]

Santi takes bonus seconds here.

 

[Samamba]

Milan scares me. If he can handle the kilometers he should be able to handle a lot of classics.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Movistar on the front slowing sh*t down legendary stuff

 

[Sciatic]

Surrender?
