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

[Devil's Elbow]

Visma partying like it's 2020, only without a Pogacar to stop them.

 

[Charlyghoul]

Unlike the Giro, Pidcock is doing well here. He deserves a win.
Almeida another one, in Asturias.

This is the first time Pidders has really gone for it.
He’s completed mountain biking, now is the start of his gt career

This is absolutely not the first time Pidcock has designed the second half of his season around a GT GC bid, lol.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is that really Brieuc Rolland? I would've assumed Davide

 

[Brullnux]

The Ventoux and Loze stages say otherwise.

The Tour was over by the second week, and during the Hautacam stage in particular they failed in quite a funny manner.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Has such a 'Gall loses a minute' feel about it

 

[postmanhat]

Gall is where?

Nowhere unfortunately. Has never really done much after the Tour and this year looks like being no different.

Is that really Brieuc Rolland? I would've assumed Davide

Rolland is in the 2nd group, i think. They are always switching from moto 1 in front of G1 to moto 2 behind G2, which confuses things

I really don't get the obsession with the pisstaking of Pidcock's previous GT GCs. I think we can all see he's well prepared here, certainly compared to when he has/hasn't gone for GC before, so let's see how the last 10 days go.

It is, this is Pidcock with GC conviction for the very first time! We can all see the difference free of the shackles of sky he soars like an eagle

Has such a 'Gall loses a minute' feel about it

Well, he‘s back now, but Vingegaard could still beat him by a minute.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard will win this stage if he wants.

 

[Cycling111]

Who is Brieuc?

 

[Boehmand]

Radio Tour annoucing that due to security concerns at the finish line, GC times will be takes at the 3K point, and there will be no stage winner today and no points awared for the green jersey at the finish either.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I've been waiting for Pidcock to attack since Albania. Basque protestors are way more aggressive than him in GTs.

 

[Alien Performance]

GC times being taken with 3km to go according to PCS

 

[nilfen]

No stage winner today
Time will be at 3 km - the race will stop there

The race is afraid of the safety of the riders.

 

[Cycling111]

Vingegaard will win this stage if he wants.

He could win solo, and if not, another Visma can. With four riders, it would be strange if they didn't win. Two attackers are enough for them. The rest can't cover all the attacks.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Due to incindents at the finishline, the official times for the GC will be taken at 3km from the finishline

Simply the length of the flagpoles that were being waved made the finish stretch look unsafe.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Understand the 3k win but no stage winner?

 

[Alien Performance]

Who is Brieuc?

young French rider with consistent progression riding his first GT

 

[postmanhat]

This is the first time Pidders has really gone for it.
He’s completed mountain biking, now is the start of his gt career

That was always the plan. Win the Olympics again, then concentrate on the road. But he decided not to do it with the team who had supported all his off-road ambitions.

 

[Sciatic]

Almeida telling Visma they don't have balls?

 

[Boehmand]

Basically, the race ends at the 3K point, nobody continues to the finish line.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Just put the finish at 3km? Why no stage winner?
