Vuelta a Burgos 2025 (August 5-9)

[Samu Cuenca]

His streak of only ever winning in Italy or Spain continues. I hope he'll get at least another one next season, but this could also very well prove to be the last one.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great solo win by Caruso from the break.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, yesterday Matteo won ahead of Matteo.
Today, Bisiaux beat Giulio and Giulio.

And today the old man Caruso beat Rui times two.
(The old one, and the young one.)

Awesome throwback podium

Nice interview from Caruso . . . complementing the race and the region

Awesome throwback podium

Some serious senior horsepower in the breakaway!! And that is Rui Costa's second time this year going from way out.. He looks great this year!! He went flying solo in Austria stage, almost worked and came away with second.. At 38 years old, gotta wonder if this is it..don't think he said one way or another. Pro since 2007!!! Warbasse also an old guy at 35!! Crushing Caruso..37 years young and pro since 2009!!! Caruso has a bunch of top tens this year!!

So it's the kiddies and old uns at the Burgos race.

The top of the GC

1	1	-	Bisiaux Léo	Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team	5	10″	16:23:02
2	2	-	Pellizzari Giulio	Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe		4″	0:22
3	3	-	del Toro Isaac	UAE Team Emirates - XRG			0:26
4	4	-	Fortunato Lorenzo	XDS Astana Team			,,
5	5	-	Kulset Johannes	Uno-X Mobility			0:40
6	6	-	Aleotti Giovanni	Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe			,,
7	7	-	Berrade Urko	Equipo Kern Pharma			,,
8	8	-	August Andrew	INEOS Grenadiers			,,
9	9	-	Christen Fabio	Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team			0:52
10	10	-	Bernal Egan	INEOS Grenadiers			0:53

is pretty much a youth party, unless the seniors' club find a way to crash the fun.

Final stage:

Very good chance for a rider to further underline the potential/status.

Race starts 13:12 local.

Unfortunately, Quintana DNSed yesterday, so Quintana won't be starting in Quintana.

Del Toro calling for mechanical assistance in the descent

Del Toro calling for mechanical assistance in the descent

Maybe he just wants to be fair and give time back to Ciccone

DT working alone. He’d have to be really strong to overcome this. Maybe shipping this race

 

[ice&fire]

Del Toro back in the peloton with 10km to go

 

[fenns]

approaching foot of the final ascent - Ciccone has a minute to make up on Del Toro surely too much

 

[Sciatic]

Chaves with a random appearance

 

[fenns]

Del Toro on for GC - Ciccone for stage win

The kid is strong

He could move in to the top 5 if he goes for it, and gets some bonus seconds?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Asking Ciccone to pull

 

[ice&fire]

That's going to be a GC win with an asterisk

 

[Tim Cahill]

Think Del Toro's only real danger is Fortunato now but only if he properly blows up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It gets a little easier, not much, but a bit

 

[fenns]

but for the crash he'd have won the whole thing

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's going to be a GC win with an asterisk

Biggest asterisk in any race in quite some time, the real question is whether it sparks a rule change.
