Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 14: Avilés – La Farrapona (135.9k)

[Valv.Piti]

The problem is that at least two of their riders don't want to ride for the team.

I believe its close to all-in for Almeida at this point after seeing Angliru

 

[Heston]

I think Ayuso/Vine/Soler are done with breakaways for this Vuelta. It might be naive, but I expect a full team effort for Almeida today and for UAE to control the whole stage.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Strong Southerlies in the mountains today, should turn out to be a headwind blowing down the final valley sadly

I should certainly hope so but I don't recall Ayuso doing much for Del Toro, when the Mexican was primed to win the Giro.

I don‘t recall him being in anywhere near the shape to do so but maybe he faked the Bad knee if you want to make up a conspiracy theory.

So Israel PT have a new kit.

I think he has faked a lot of things. I also don't believe he was that sick in last year's Tour.

If you say new kit really really fast it sounds quite explosive.

 

[Rou]

Huge crowds protesting.

I protest the route of going San Lorenzo and Farrapona from the North-West. Better they go over the Trobaniello and take the south side of La Farrapona.

He might have faked a bad knee, but I don't think he faked the situation so nicely depicted in @Red Rick's profile picture.

Maybe he put the bee on his face himself? Some people seem to think that Ayuso is stupidly undermining his consistency in GC on purpose.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Aldag already talking about ‚Rijkaard‘ doing an Eros Poli, would be great

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This group will probably get away, although some riders could still join.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Just found out mikel bjerg is doing this race

 

[search]

did any good climber make the group today?

edit: there's Verona, I think

 

[Heston]

Looks like UAE and Visma are fine with letting a big break get away.

 

[Rou]

Soler upfront. Satellite rider for Almeida or Marc doesn't know the meaning of that?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

FAUSTO

Marc is a satellite rider for Soler.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Marc wants to win that KOM jersey! Vamos!

 

[Rob5091]

Team Javier CPU XYZ have 5 riders up front so looking good.

 

[Boehmand]

Interesting Pedersen is not along for the ride in the break, tells me he is targeting the stage tomorrow.

 

[Didinho]

Soler vs Masnada. Cycling is back.
