Vuelta a España Vuelta 2025, stage 20: Robledo de Chavela - Bola del Mundo - Puerto de Navacerrada (164.8 km)

And had the TTT been twice as long, Almeida would have been in red.

 

[Squire]

So Vine could lose the KoM jersey if Vingegaard wins the stage, right? A bit strange he wasn't allowed to go and get at least one point on the early climbs.

I don't do if, buts and maybe's, I do absolutes. And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle, but she doesn't, so she's not.

They would tie right?

 

[AlpRaid]

No Junior in the break…

[topcat]

The amount of nonsense that's been written about Almeida has been one of the few highlights of the Vuelta for me.

15 pts for the MTF I think so unless the GC group sweeps up the break on the penultimate climb he should be safe

 

[carolina]

PCS is down. Is there a good alternative?

Last climb is 20 points I think

It knows the Almenheimer is coming.

Angliru was the 20 point climb (the Cima Alberto Fernandez). Otherwise, HC climbs are 15

 

[dazaau]

Think this one makes it, all the key break riders there with lots of teammates.

UAE and Bora say no I think.

As they should, they should make everyone suffer like dogs today, there is no tomorrow for GC.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Is seems UAE is going all in for Almeida today. None of their breakaway stars is ahead!

Either that or they have bad legs and will drop a few hundred metres before the start of the first ascent of Navacerrada. Time will tell who'll be doing what.

Will Juanito be the first to accelerate backwards? Time will tell.

 

[Red Rick]

Will Juanito be the first to accelerate backwards? Time will tell.

He'll "accidentally" drop Almeida

 

[YavorD]

Will Juanito be the first to accelerate backwards? Time will tell.

He would never!

 

[Barnacle Bill]

He'll "accidentally" drop Almeida

Haha, getting the popcorn in, just in case.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Difficult to figure out exactly who is in the break with PCS being down but as far as I can see the tiny climber from Groupama (Braz) is there as well as Tiberi (neither mentioned by the official site)

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Would love to see a battle for the stage win with Landa, Fortunato, ciccone, but looks like the breakway won't get much time??

 

[RedheadDane]

Sastre - visiting the Vuelta - being asked when the last time he rode Bola del Mundo:

"Err... the Vuelta."

Kung was working in the break at the start but dropped back not long after Pedersen. I've not seen Fortunato at all - the two Astana riders are Lopez and Masnada

Too bad Mads P. seemed to suddenly remember that the sprint is after a cat.1.
