Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

Evenepoel looked a lot more symptomatic than Roglic ever did during that Giro.

The timing of his pulling out was still incomprehensible.

 

[Escarabajo]

Roglic scored 450 points today and 538 this week.

For the win I meant.

 

[acm]

He had covid too?

And it didn't destroy his life and career that he continued. If Remco had just known that...

Yes.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Contador end Froome definitely rode all of them.

And of course it is a huge feat. Richie even did TA in his last season to try to podium all 7.

Contador? When did he race TdS?
Edit: And IIRC, I said in their peak.

Matxin is smoking a fat one if he thinks Ayuso will ever headline over Pogacar at the TdF

 

[Blanco]

I remember Rebellin more for having done the Ardennes triple than winning a then record tying third FW. I also don't rate Dauphiné that highly. I mean Moreau and Valverde both won it twice.

Valverde won almost wherever he entered...

What's wrong with the word treeth? I think it sounds nice.

Really wish I could find Ayuso more likeable because his sausage dog is awesome

 

[hayneplane]

You missed the point. How many TdF winners raced (in their best years) all one week stage races?

Don’t think Vingegaard, Pogacar, Froome or Contador have ever ridden TDS which covers all the multiple Tour de France winners of the last 20 years of the post Lance Armstrong domination era.

Edit - Froome last rode it in 2011 a few months prior to his Vuelta miracle and when he was a lightly regarded rider.

 

[gregrowlerson]

11th one-week race win for Roglic.

1 PN
2 TA
2 Catalunya
2 Itzulia
2 Romandie
2 Dauphiné

And I thought all he did was give funny interviews.

 

[Bertram Wooster]

Contador? When did he race TdS?
Edit: And IIRC, I said in their peak.

Contador won stage 8 in TDS in 2006, a month after he took 3rd place and a stage in TDR.

Froome and Contador rode all 7.

Pogacar will try to win them all as well.

 

[Bertram Wooster]

Quintana won a stage in all 7, won 5 out of 7 and podiumed 6 out of 7.
Richie podiumed 6 out of 7.

 

[proffate]

Honestly, it was just an exact copy of El Pistolero‘s signature celebration, I doubt Contador has done any group rides in Tucson AZ

There's nothing new under the sun... but I don't think Quinn Simmons has any Contador posters hanging in his dorm room.

Simmons not only does that group ride, he posts pictures of himself doing it on socials.

Watching Lanterne Rouge's recap of the stage, and especially the second intermediate sprint, I somewhat apologise to RedBull. While I think Rogla should have launched his own sprint before the corner and taken that first, they did it with Denz first in the corner as well as they could. Ayuso's move was quite dirty, and it was extremely unwarranted. Not exactly returning the favour when Rogla opened the door for him on La Molina where he could have kept his position in a safe manner that would have closed Ayuso.

I said this right after it happened

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

This is the home of UEFAlona

Reinforces the reasons he isn't the most likable...
