Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 10: Sendaviva – Larra-Belagua (175.3k)

[Moose McKnuckles]

UAE has 4 stage wins now and sit 3rd on GC. Not to mention they managed to get rid of Ayuso.
Win-win-win

Another one suffering from PTSD on 2020 PDBF

For me that one was resolved once Rogla became part of a winning team by doing his part.

Yeah, only took Kuss a month to pull that shiv out after the 2023 Vuelta.

You didn't look very happy in the 2023 Vuelta.

That had nothing to do with Pogi he wasn't even there.

 

[Sciatic]

Interesting high plateau landscape. Anyone done any XC skiing there?

 

[Peyroteo94]

But had with Vingegaard

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ajuso did great work for his leader today. Pcs says his contract ends this year and he's on the market. Surely uae will offer him an extension? With guys like vine on the team, Almida needs all the help he can get.

Better ask @Libertine Seguros !

UAE prioritizing stage wins over GC...

How?
Almeida isn't really beating Vingegaard. Might as well get 1426 stage wins..

 

[CyclistAbi]

But had with Vingegaard

Partially, that is i wouldn't mind if UAE would stick it to Visma at this Vuelta but seeing they abandoned Almeida and wanted to use Ayuso as scapegoat. That changed my mind. They don't deserve to win the overall i am only sorry for Almeida, that he came prepared as he did and it is his team that beat him (not Ayuso).

 

[Sciatic]

Jay Vine the clownster.

The full blue dots skinsuit makes me think "clown" whenever I see it

They prioritize stage wins over attempting to get the red jersey with Almeida.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice win for Vine, in interview he said he'll never tire of winning because it's such a difficult thing to do. Chapeau!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

They prioritize stage wins over attempting to get the red jersey with Almeida.

Again, they're in 3rd on GC. They have 4 stage wins. They have the polka dot jersey. What exactly are they doing wrong again? Most teams would kill to be in this situation.

 

[Netserk]

Nice to see Vine win by not just smashing it, but handling the tactical situation perfectly.

Shocked by Ciccone and Gall. Super happy to see Riccitello so strong!

It's a good strategy, realistically. But I would prefer to see Jonas' top challenger going all in, all out, all guns blazing, rather than semi capitulating.

But they don't have a realistic chance of beating Vingegaard.
Especially on this route.
Now, if Almeida drops Vingegaard on Angliru and wins 30 seconds you might be into something, but nothing indicates that Almeida can beat Vingegaard.

 

[Sciatic]

I don't see that Almeida is capitulating, but I guess you could surmise that about UAE overall strategy.

 

[Rou]

Ayuso did his work for the Vuelta today.
Tomorrow in the break on a stage dangerous for Almeida.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Is Vingo trying to grow a porn stache or am I seeing things?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Don't know about skiing but the terrain is pretty stunning

 

[dampframme]

Harold Martín López and Sergio Geovani Chumil now both in top 20 of GC. Unfortunately, Jefferson Alveiro Cepeda dropped 4 places to 24th.

Nice to see Vine win by not just smashing it, but handling the tactical situation perfectly.

In the end he just smashed it. It wasn't that tactical after all.

These climbs are so boring, typical Vuelta stuff. Road to an "estacion de esqui" = long wide highway with zero incentive for meaningful attacks. Vingegaard decided to go a little crazy on Sunday, just because he felt like it, but in principle it's pointless to attack on climbs like these.

I'm more used to "typical Vuelta" being a GT with more short real murito climbs and not so many of these tempo MTFs?
