Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

[Landeirovic]

So today the ultimate showdown between Rogla and Ayuso. Watch intermediate sprints and exciting action in the last 20 seconds of the stage!

Prediction: Rogla to win by 0 seconds.

That prediction is impossible

 

[Netserk]

That prediction is impossible

It's not, but likely requires Ayuso having a mechanical or crash in the last 3 km.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

That prediction is impossible

Why? There are a lot of boni seconds combinations from the finish and intermediate sprints (I'm not sure about exact gains for the latter though, 3,2,1?).

He needs to finish 13 places ahead of Ayuso today to win the tie-breaker.

Aha, ok. I completely forgot that Rogla is now losing in total positions ranking.

The same did Roglic during yesterday's final kilometers.

 

[Red Rick]

They still haven't started yet?

 

[Netserk]

Can some of the Spanish speakers tell me what the race director says (I assume it was a bit more than what was written in the tweet about the "capos" deciding not to finish late):

Shocker, Rogla doesn't say much before the start.

Hey now, Roglic has clearly learned something new. He's taken a page out of Andy Murray's book of interviews, and added the "obviously" before saying nothing.

 

[Netserk]

RedBull keeps it together for the intermediate sprint.

 

[Red Rick]

Live broadcast gonna miss the first sprint?

 

[Netserk]

Live broadcast gonna miss the first sprint?

4 km, I think we may get it. At the very least with delayed images.

We have live heli images now.

 

[Netserk]

We're live now. 1 km to the sprint.

 

[Netserk]

Rogla leads the race!

 

[RedheadDane]

Roglic takes the bonus sprint.

 

[Red Rick]

That was one of the broadcasting moments of all time.

 

[tobydawq]

Roglic back in the lead! Ayuso's time to sleep.

Nice filming

 

[Netserk]

RedBull smart to bring the rouleurs to Catalunya.

 

[Red Rick]

Lads I'm about to go back and delete all my comments on Roglic' flat sprint.

 

[wirral]

STOMPED

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Rogla with an insurmountable advantage in the GC now!

 

[Netserk]

Rogla with an insurmountable advantage in the GC now!

This is what real panache looks like!

 

[Rackham]

Go Rog.

Now we'll see whether UAE allow a break to go ahead, knowing that the next intermediate arrives just before they enter the loop.

 

[Netserk]

25 km to the next bonus sprint.

It's the first crossing of the finish-line, so the left-hand corner to enter the circuit is close to the sprint.
