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

[Netserk]

Kristoff in a good position now. Seems like THJ, Leknessund and Holter are working at the front and then Hoelgaard and Blume Levy (it seems like he is also there?) to lead him out.

I think the entire team is there (one is in blue).

 

[Rob5091]

If Kristoff is still there, I think he'll be a good outsider bet.
Edit - why is everyone copying what I wrote?!!!

 

[RedheadDane]

One or the other, I sure hope.

Or both.
Two different people.
Both Polish.

Could be, I've only counted 5 + Leknessund and seen the numbers of everyoune bar 1 that then has to be Blume Levy or AHJ.

Edit 113 Blume Levy is definitively there

You're right. I think they lost one during the Golden Kilometer.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Damn, Turner went for a Gaviria special, looked strong there

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

97!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Hoelgaard almost blew it for Kristoff.

 

[will-10]

decent 300m sprint from Turner

 

[Rob5091]

Kristoff by a small margin, but big enough to win - chapeau!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Hoelgaard almost blew it for Kristoff.

To be fair to Hoelgaard, Turner deviated a lot and cut him off.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Kristoff looks like he hasn't missed a meal, what a powerful horse even at his age. Chapeau!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

97!

Really should be 98 tomorrow with not a single other sprinter at the start. Doubt Uno-X can control the final stage.

 

[Netserk]

Grande Sasha!

3rd for Pidders and 10" bonus today.

6seconds for Pidcock

Pidders was 4th

It's hard to say from the profiles, but it looks to be steeper in the final km tomorrow, so maybe it fits Pidcock/Van Gils.

On stage 5 I expect Uno-X to send a lot of people in the break and not try to keep everything together. Then if Kristoff actually survives and the breaks will be caught they should still have some manpower for the last 50 km.

 

[Netserk]

Pidders was 4th

My bad.

 

[RedheadDane]

You're right. I think they lost one during the Golden Kilometer.

That... could be misunderstood.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Looks like they're giving some actually nice stuff to the winners on the podium, love the little tree trophy!

Heh, every winner checking the label to see what kind of wine he got.

[Netserk]

Pidcock 3" behind Berthet (I assume he made it?).

yeah, I meanwhile found an interview. His mother is Polish, his girlfriend is Polish, and Maciej Bodnar too.

Why was he talking about Bodnar's Polishness?

Why was he talking about Bodnar's Polishness?

he lived with the van der Tuuk family in the Netherlands, or in the same house, or something like that. So he somehow played a part in there as well.
