Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2026, February 4-8

[Devil's Elbow]

Bit dumb from Almeida to pull that hard and drop McNulty

There is basically no flat left, zero point in holding back to keep McNulty in the group if you're trying to catch Evenepoel.

Disagree.

Keep McNulty and pull together instead of doing all the work for the last 10k with the others on the wheel.

But anyway, he is back.

 

[Netserk]

intra uae battle is all that is left

 

[Didinho]

Knowing Evenepoel, whag do you think?

I was thinking a week ago that this could also be for Pellizzari and Vlasov. If Almeida was as strong as Remco they could play the numbers game.

 

[Cycling111]

@Rou UAE has only one leader. The others they want to be or are dreamers, like the Roubaix leader .

But Almeida was beaten by Buitrago last year. He's never too strong in his first race.

 

[Salvarani]

They are not that far behind

Gap hasnt gone out a lot as much as I expected

 

[Salvarani]

Almeida dropping McNulty on the climb again and then looking around for help... hilarious

 

[Andre]

come on Remco!!!!

 

[Red Rick]

Is it me or is that gap way smaller than you'd expect

 

[Salvarani]

Remco looking over his shoulder a lot

 

[Netserk]

i hope almeida doesnt end up on the podium

 

[Samamba]

Almeida is always mediocre in his first races

 

[Red Rick]

McNulty doing the fastest final 10k?

 

[Netserk]

no coordination with the duo

 

[Netserk]

boooh

 

[Andre]

Brilliant Remco

 

[Red Rick]

Don't think I've seen Evenepoel struggle this much after dropping everyone uphill before. He looked ragged.

 

[Rou]

Pellizarri is a very serious young rider.

 

[Andre]

Remco increased his gap at the end pretty good

 

[Rou]

Remco looking gassed like after one of the Mallorcan races.
Clearly has room for improvement.

 

[Netserk]

tiberi only fourth in gc

 

[Andre]

very strong for being in February

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

I think Remco went a bit too hard and that finale had some very annoying false flats. He ran a bit out of gas but so did the other ones.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco mate should be at altitude preparing for Paris nice, Sanremo, Flanders , ardennes. Instead you want to farm these races which would have been entertaining without you. You're supposed to be racing pocagar not pablo castrillo

Almeida is always mediocre in his first races

I’d say mediocre is a bit too harsh. This stage profile just doesn’t suit his characteristics, and today he wasn’t at his best, of course, but he didn’t really lack much—except for that acceleration he just doesn’t have.
