Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol 2025, February 19-23

[Netserk]

Pathetic whining over a clean, professional sprint.

come on, ride to the line!!! All this gesture for nothing.

Ludewig says there was enough room left for three sprinters to still go for it

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Tobias really complaining about that small itch to the left?

 

[Samamba]

Johannessen wtf was that. Should be ashamed of himself.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Staune-Mittet's attack was a lot more dangerous than what Barrenetxea did. If THJ has swerved a little more to the left, they would have hit the spectators.

Another Basque victory.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

The move by Staune-Mittet is literally ten times more dangerous than whatever Barrenetxea was doing.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fine sprint, 'storm in a teacup' as they say.

 

[Rob5091]

Barrenetxea won although Johannessen was not too happy. Seemed to move over a bit in front of him.

 

[wirral]

Johannesen, sore loser, good gesticulator.

 

[repre]

Under UCI rules this is relegation as there was clear deviation that abrupted the sprint of other rider.

But who cares about UCI rules... They are applied so inconsistently.

Also, pathetic whining from THJ.

Nope, he neither obstructed nor endangered TJH, and then deviation is fully allowed.

Good racing for the stage win today, although the GC was already wrapped up. And nice scenery with Gibraltar in the background

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Top class gesturing from THJ. Real ciclisimo and Remco would surely approve.

He really saved it all for the finish. Remco would be dishing it out along the route as well.

somehow Pidcock gained a spot in GC. No bunch sprint protocol in Andalucia, so I guess they recorded a gap in the sprint (behind Hoelgaard etc).

Must just be a mistake I think? Not officially confirmed.

could be correct. No idea if it's more than a second, but there is a gap ahead of the Bingoal (?) guy.

Huh? Considering he's in third place on the podium in the picture from the ceremony, it really doesn't look like he gained a spot.

Didn't notice that. The provisional result had him (and Hoelgaard) moving up 3s
