Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

[Rackham]

Are you not entertained?

Go Rog go. What a great win.

So the wind did the fans a favor in the end, I don't think we would have ever witnessed such a thing had yesterday happened as planned.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looking worrying for a competitive Giro but I get the impression a lot of the big GC guys are keeping something under the hood. Carapaz, both Yates, Steven Kruijswijk.

 

[Poursuivant]

Very good win. Giro is going to be good.

 

[Netserk]

Van Eetvelt: "I was too far back."

You don't say. Again.

 

[RedheadDane]

So much for the "how close will the GC be?" discussion earlier.

Rogla takes it all. Stage, points, KOM and GC.

The new Pogacar.

They clearly jinxed the race...

Most aggressive GC rider in the 2023 Giro, most aggressive rider here. Haters can't admit it.

Steven Kruijswijk

?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Good to see Rogla so chatty and obviously happy in interview

 

[Tim Cahill]

?

Unfinished business.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He means Stpev Krasviik. He just spells it differently than you.

You get the sense than he didn't want to just outsprint Ayuso yesterday and that he really was ready to go balls to the wall

1 PN

My view has always been that in grand tours there is Pog and Jonas in their own category, then Roglic who was joined by Remco last season, and then everyone else.

Hard to imagine that if without incident (and that is a massive if I know) any of those names will be on the same level as a fit and health Roglic. Man still has it.

I know what you mean, but hand tours is still a funny typo.

UAE in general are off it, insane that Ayuso is isolated with this lineup.

Yesterday's attrition taking its toll + jetlag from the change to daylight saving time.

Come on man that was very sad but it was like 35 years ago

This turned out one of the least mountainous editions (i.a. due to yesterday's fiasco). Roglic himself said Catalunya is an honest race and legs do the talking but it was atypical this year.

 

[tobydawq]

I have rearely heard Roglic as eloquent and talkative as in that post-race interview.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looking back I forgot Kruijswijk never won a Giro stage, looked nailed on for that MTT, you know he's cursed when ****ing Alexander Foliforov is pulling that one out of the hat.

Anyway, Roglic looks the best, but you will have to take into account the multiple crashes he's going to have early doors so maybe it will be closer than it looks at the moment.

Dang it members of this forum are too quick for me to even fix my typos

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Damn, I missed it, had no idea that it started so early! (Is it like this every year?)

Great win for Roglic! What did Ayuso do? Was he to far behind, to weak, to optimistic about Yates repairing the situation?
