Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 11: Bilbao/Bilbo – Bilbao/Bilbo (157.4k)

The scenery is quite green and lovely at least.

And theres a lot of cyclists out.

 

[Peter von]

Don't understand why riders in the break keep going in situations like that. If some GC team is pinging the gap at one minute just sit up.

To be a pro athlete you have to be a bit mad and willing to suffer just to deny the other guys a free lunch sometimes.

Soler and Pedersen probably tell themselves they are draining Visma a bit which helps their respective captains. So they won’t see it as a wasted day no matter what.

Tbh I think Visma are setting the pace they planned on the bus.

If Trine wants her husband to win the Tour again perhaps she should try birthing in July

Em ...I think you may need a lesson on the birds and the bees if you think the woman decides on a 'birthing' date
Or maybe you hail from the court of Henry the Eight ???

 

[dgodave]

Theres this commercial with a Yaz song. I forgot what a great unique voice Alison Moyet has.

 

[Heston]

Pedersen is going for the bonus sprint. He needs the points.

Soler is more of a mystery why he keeps going.

Vingegaard to avenge WVA 24' Vuelta.
He'll get all jerseys.

The Tour is 3 weeks, it's not extremely hard to calculate backwards from that.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

No Landa, no ineos, no Astana in break. What's the point of ever getting excited about anything.

No point whatsoever but I am sure if Landa (or Fausto) is in the break in the next few days you will go there again

Its on of our human foibles....to do get needlessly excited

The Tour is 3 weeks, it's not extremely hard to calculate backwards from that.

but what if it lands on a sprint stage ??

Vingegaard to avenge WVA 24' Vuelta.

Mathematically impossible.
(He was born in 1996)

 

[Heston]

What is Soler even doing

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Tour is 3 weeks, it's not extremely hard to calculate backwards from that.

It's an issue if the child ends up getting born 10 weeks before the due date, like I was, but that could at least give him a reason to ride the Giro.

 

[Netserk]

On the one hand, it's dreadful that the stage is so locked and predictable. On the other, it at least means we'll get a proper GC stage, and there are plenty of other breakaway stages.

 

[tobydawq]

Floyd Soler on a rampage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some of the finest Solerism in a while, hopefully he loses 20 minutes and gets in some breaks from now on.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Free Soler!

 

[Rou]

Solerism back on the menu, boys. Only a 80 km solo.

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Soler doing Soler things.

 

[dgodave]

Mathematically impossible.
(He was born in 1996)

They could "find" the real birth certificate?

 

[Squire]

No Landa, no ineos, no Astana in break. What's the point of ever getting excited about anything.

There is Soler though.

 

[Cycling111]

What is Soler even doing

Taking out all the energy he has saved in the Tour

 

[Netserk]

There is Soler though.

He really turns into Super Soler in the Vuelta. All his aspects get another notch.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Theres this commercial with a Yaz song. I forgot what a great unique voice Alison Moyet has.

Perhaps she's Invisible.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sunken cost fallacy in action

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Riders should be nonstop attacking for next 50k. Classics style
