Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 15: A Veiga/Vegadeo – Monforte de Lemos (167.8k)

[Ilmaestro99]

Mads Peterson with the biggest display of what would have been tactical ineptitude I've seen in a while, but it doesn't matter because he so much stronger than everyone else in the break. Time for aular to focus on guanxi.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Clean wheels. What power from Mads!!

 

[Unchained]

Ineos should try some 1-2 punch attacks in the final 1.5 km to see if the others force Pedersen to chase everything down

Ineos gravel nap, wheel just rinsed out guy went down! Chain fell off

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Mad Mads very impressive - chapeau on the win!

 

[Cycling111]

A well-deserved victory. LIDL was the only team that wanted to capture both riders.

I'm a bit disappointed with UAE today. They let that one get away. There are only 6 stages left for them to get something out of this race.

Other riders looking around helpless after Mads wasn't forced to lead it out, he won the easy drag race that all other riders expected.. Tactical genius? No but he didn't need it for another.... Grand Tour win..easy stuff,
head was on a swivel looking around to see what his celebration would look like and how early he could start.

 

[Netserk]

Ciccone says he feels ill. Please abandon.

 

[Rob5091]

I think that must just about guarantees the Green Jersey for Big Mads (as long as he makes it to Madrid) - chapeau! (It must about be the right time to put on some bets on Big Mads in the Spring races next year)

 

[Barnacle Bill]

You are right, overall GC victory and every stage, settle for nothing less.go UAE

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Classic Sheffield, I should give up on him.

Don't think he attempted a single attack? Riding as if he was going to challenge Mads in the sprint

 

[Unchained]

Death ,taxes, crash for Sheffield

He popped right up

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ciccone says he feels ill. Please abandon.

Doesn't he have a recurring saddle sore or am I confusing him with someone else?

 

[Rou]

Ayuso losing the wheel in the last km...
Hang on, champ!

 

[RedheadDane]

Mads being sneaky:
"I knew we had 35 seconds, but I tried to tell [the others in the chase] 'they only have 20', to get them to ride."

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I don't think we've been watching the same interviews. Unless you call telling really bad jokes "being prickly".

We'll get to see another interview, so hopefully more bad jokes!

 

[Netserk]

Doesn't he have a recurring saddle sore or am I confusing him with someone else?

Yes. He has already stayed in the race for too long.

"I knew we had 35 seconds, but I tried to tell [the others in the chase] 'they only have 20', to get them to ride."

Smart move. If he had told them some of his bad jokes instead they would probably have been more likely to attack him.

 

[RedheadDane]

We'll get to see another interview, so hopefully more bad jokes!

Well, the bad jokes have - I think - mostly been on Danish TV. I'll give you some... hightlights:

Q: What's blue and smells like yellow paint?
A: Blue paint!

Q: What's the difference between gloves and socks?
A: You put gloves on your hands, and socks on your feet.

Yeah, it's that level...

I still like him despite the bad jokes, he just seems like a very personable guy.

Oh, absolutely. But it's a good thing he's a pretty good cyclist, coz I don't think he should switch to a career as comedian.

Since those are the only two options, I chose comedian - obviously.

In interview Vingo happy for Mads too
