Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 1: Reggia di Venaria – Novara (186.1k)

[Tim Cahill]

Sean Kelly discussing international politicians appearing at Grand Tours in the same semantic field as he would a local team sponsored by a biscuit shop getting in a doomed breakaway on a flat stage.

 

[Sciatic]

Seeing that the last heli view, there are way too many white or white & blue jerseys in this peloton.

Why does CVV always sound like an 11 year old trying to prove to older kids that he's cool

It's always a bit funny that with all the chronic crashing, more teams don't adopt UAE strategy of staying first 20 riders regardless if they are pulling something back or sitting around chatting about today's breakfast ..and it's looking like Colnago will put all around bikes on sale because it's looking like the aero bike is used everyday for everything..

Good luck having all teams have all their riders within the first 20 riders of the peloton.

Whats a "semantic field"?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

About 15km to go. Go van Uden.

Watching this on a crappy Italian stream, it just feels like you get the wrong graphics with the Vuelta layout

 

[Potomac]

I love the view of Arborio Forest

 

[Rob5091]

Seeing as my absence was per my own request and there is no Pogacar, Roglic or Evenepoel in this Vuelta look forward to a dull performance by the forums resident saltmine

Ah, but let's wait and see, shall we?

 

[Andre]

I hope Jasper has his power back

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Campenaerts destroying the lead out trains.

Watching this on a crappy Italian stream

I'm jealous, mine has Hannah Walker as the lead commentator and after 20mins of her chatter I'd welcome Kirby.

 

[dgodave]

Im scared!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alpecin doing a brilliant job here

 

[Red Rick]

Disgusting

 

[Sciatic]

perfectly done by Alpecin

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not even a competition, especially with Pedersen starting the sprint from 20th.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No crashes, impossible

 

[tobydawq]

Im scared!

Why?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yeah too clinical, everyone else seemed to be in 1s and 2s and some lost a lot of positions through those bends

 

[titan31]

That was horrific by Lidl Trek and Pedersen.

What on earth was SKA even trying to do as a lead out there.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Easy solo win. Verner wins the sprint behind.

 

[Netserk]

Big Six Phil!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Peyroteo94]

Easy win.
