Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

[Armchair Cyclist]

The fact that the helicopter was perfectly functioning tells you that they could race the 2 circuits perfectly. Wtf. They need to discuss this in more detail because there was a lot of confusion for only a few idiots.

The commentary line was that they needed to go around the route to confirm that the road closures were adequate (post Besseges syndrome). That has nothing to do with flying conditions for helicopters.

 

[Netserk]

More teams at the front now, just 2 km to the sprint.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

If yesterday's stage had anything going for it it was the scenery, and at the speed the were going you could truly savor it. lol!

Not much to look at today but the race between Ayuso and Rogla is certainly fun.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It seems a shame for such a race to be decided by bonus seconds, but it'll be worse if it comes down to countback.

Although we will at least have the comedy of Kirby and McEwan acting as though it is a calculation that is beyond the capability of normal humans.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ayuso will have to beat the likes of 'John Strong' it seems, who seem up for it

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great work from Ayuso, the Bora leadout tried to f**k him too, he wasn't having any of it.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic asleep at the wheel again

 

[tobydawq]

Ayuso better at Mario Kart. Back in the lead.

 

[Netserk]

Denz stealing a bonus second from Rogla. Doesn't matter. What were they thinking, Rogla needed to launch before the corner.

 

[Netserk]

Why was Denz even sprinting, it had no benefit at all.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm sorry, but maybe Denz is a bit... dense...

 

[Red Rick]

Ofcourse they don't show the replay of that corner. Tells you everything.

This is the home of UEFAlona

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Ayuso back in the lead. Rogla will need a long-range attack to overcome the huge deficit.

 

[Peyroteo94]

C'mon Roglic. Even if you are a negative rider for cycling, I still need you to beat this arrogant folk.

I would be quite surprised to see him in the peloton, if I had known who he is, which I obviously don't...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pure comedy.....

Right, Tratnik deliberately tried to brake in front of Ayuso, so maybe the victim card is not the right one to play here.

 

[RedheadDane]

50% of the remaining Alpecin riders on the attack.

Astonishing math skills.

Apparently that’s Corbin Strongs actual name, I only find out these things during Spanish races for some reason, in the vuelta I was wondering who “David Poole” was.

 

[Netserk]

RedBull had the helpers to deliver Rogla as the first rider out of the corner. What on earth were they thinking. The situation was very simple, they needed Rogla himself to beat Ayuso in the sprint. No riders ahead of them would be of any help.

I know!

Netserk, you've hereby shown you cannot be a DS cause you've done 12 seconds of homework on that intermediate and therefor you are overqualified

Bonus second math is impossible for teams to figure out.

Denz thought Roglic was next to him, he was genuinely shocked when he saw it was Ayuso. He did a very good double take
