Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 12: Laredo – Los Corrales de Buelna (144.9k)

An important bit of information:

The three riders at the top of the GC standings are riding with the bib numbers 1, 11 and 111.

Brilliant use of Unary numeral system by the Vuelta.

Ayuso's youth team was based at today's finish, so he knows the roads well, and will probably have an eye on this. The Brenes climb is always featured in the Vuelta al Besaya

let's hope today's protests, unlike yesterday, remain peaceful so the stage can proceed safely

 

[Rob5091]

Angliru tomorrow? Tranquilo today ... Ayuso to decide he feels fine and wants some training.

Tranquilo? They're lifting it.

Break will have to go on that first climb or they risk a team (maybe Q36.5 if Pidcock feels confident) to try to control this as it's a very short stage.

 

[BigCoward]

If there are protests at the finish, I suggest they move the finish line back about 15km to the bottom of the final decent.
Pidcock can go nuts and make up for losing out yesterday.

Looking forward to a good dose of solerismo today

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Astana need to sort themselves out. Scaroni should've been here

 

[Samamba]

UAE about to take another breakaway stage. This time it's Soler.

 

[Rou]

Astana pulling the peloton?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ayuso chasing Soler, love it.

 

[SafeBet]

Buitrago, Ayuso, Tejada, Garofoli and others trying to bridge.

 

[Rou]

Ayuso 'no legs' on the move again.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

We need protest at the finish line so that they can move the finish to right after the descent. Would give us a way better stage, let's go.

 

[SafeBet]

40 riders in the break soon?

 

[Rou]

Benjamin O'Connor suffering again.

Fisher-Black in the Grupetto after working yesterday

 

[noob]

Oh finally I can watch a stage

 

[noob]

I love the terrain!

 

[Samamba]

Yeah gonna be a huge break today if all those groups come together.

Landa is the last of those groups

 

[Ilmaestro99]

YOU HAD ONE JOB FAUSTO

 

[JohnWayne]

40 riders in the break soon?

Yep, Swedish commentator said 38 if the groups come together (and nobody's dropped).

 

[Red Rick]

Juan Ayuso is selflessly getting himself into the breakaway so that Almeida can attack Vingegaard on the Brenes descent by holding Ayuso's wheel.

I see that you have a new, swollen idol.
