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

[Ripper]

V$ne blatantly cheating, Soler pulling the earpiece whilst his own riders chase him down, it's great stuff

I get the sense he had more than one sticky bottle

Only Bruyneel could fix this ***

 

[Peyroteo94]

perhaps UAE are going for the record for most GC stage wins in one year? (I don't know what the number is)

Binda won 12 stages in a GT alone so if they win today, they will get 13

 

[Rou]

Hey, UAE wants the wins record.
Almeida is not the main target.

 

[tobydawq]

Team Soler versus UAE in a direct battle.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

When Pogi isn't there, this team is pure entertainment.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Gorgeous scenery, and Soler finding himself

What is a GC stage win?

 

[Boehmand]

People need to chill out, there is nothing wrong with UAE going for both GC and stages.

Soler can pull up at any point if the need arises - which only happens if Almeida either drops Vingegaard or is dropped.

In the meantime there is no need for Soler to do anything else than he is already doing, and doing well.

So true.

Didn't Maertens win 20 in one season?

Edit: Indeed he did, in the span of 32 days from April 26th to May 28th in 1977.

Didn't Maertens win 20 in one season?

He also won 13 in one Vuelta which is more than Binda‘s 12

Yeah, it doesnt hurt that he is ahead at all.

Either he wins the stage or he can maybe help a little later.

Having him in the break and upfront is good tactics.

Dont really understand the outrage atm.

UAE has played this stage perfectly so far and in the end it will come down to Almeida vs Vinge.

Fausto sighting

He looked to be getting a nasty wave from the car to get off the middle of the bumper.. Not exactly stealth motorpacing by Vine, maybe they will hit him with time and or money penalties instead of losing the polka dots for cheating.. Going to get something for that stunt.

 

[Red Rick]

If 2'37 is true Soler isnt gonna hold this

 

[Rou]

Come on, Mikkel. Catch him!

 

[Boehmand]

On another note, I am quite bullish on the future of Decathlon.

They seem to have gathered up a host of young and very talented riders, with more to come.

Maybe we will finally see a French team amongst the "big" teams again, in a not too distant future?

 

[Ripper]

Berg absolutely killing himself

 

[Stubb]

Please Marc, put your sunglasses away, I want to see those eyes!

UAE not going for the win

UAE tearing the soles off their shoes trying to catch soler

Oops . . GT stage win

 

[postmanhat]

They've already had three different riders winning mountain stages. Can't imagine that's happened very often, never mind four?

 

[Red Rick]

Broadcast failing the one single thing it should be doing

Ofc we will, they have Seixas and tons of money, and have invested into some nice talents as well for 2026
