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

And most importantly, UAE didn't win this stage.

Ciccone says he feels ill. Please abandon.

Needs to abandon this on the rest day if he wants a chance of recovery in time for Worlds and then Italian fall classics.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Mads to the max. A shame breakaway was caught and UAE rider didn't win a stage.

DSM riding for Bjorn Koerdt, a strange name for an Englishman if you think about it, maybe his mum thought we were still in the 9th century.

That would have been a strange thing to think.

 

[tobydawq]

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.

But you still had to criticise him even if he didn't do anything critique-worthy.

And most importantly, UAE didn't win this stage.

Indeed, I was about to lose my mind when Vine and Vervaeke had almost three minutes.

Kids will watch him and learn badly how to race!! He sets a bad example.

He did nothing wrong today.

You will just ridicule him regardless of what he does. It's incredible to behold the effort you put in, the way you always twist reality.

 

[RedheadDane]

Kids will watch him and learn badly how to race!! He sets a bad example.

He was riding according to his strengths.
Will that tactic work for everyone? No.
Does it need to? Also no.

 

[tobydawq]

Correct.

A general complaint about complaints is self-undermining.

A justified complaint about particular unjustified complaints is not.

Likewise, a positive argument for positivity is also much better than a general, negative argument against negativity.

The great advantage of general complaints is that they take much less effort, so when they are expected to express a common sentiment, you don't need to pursuade anyone and waste your energy by spelling out what others already know. Establishing common knowledge merely with low-effort posts can thus be very efficient. Hurray for complaints!

Where does sarcasm belong in this?

Kids will watch him and learn badly how to race!! He sets a bad example.

Any kids watching him can learn years worth of good habits and fantastic work ethic, role model for young riders!

 

[Unchained]

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.

Don't know if you have been in a room full of women when he gets interviewed but from what I have witnessed most females I have seen will overlook his bad jokes, he is very popular.. Boyish good looks..

People mentioned Pedersen yesterday when discussing who might win on this parcours. Wake up today and he has delivered. Congrats to Mads and Lidl-Trek. Can't ask more of a rider but to win when the terrain suits them.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I still miss footage from the first big climb - 50 percent of Pedersen's victory was founded there.

It's a shame that this stage in particular wasn't transmitted from the start.

DSM riding for Bjorn Koerdt, a strange name for an Englishman if you think about it,

Not a very strange name for a guy with a Swedish mother to give to his son.

The Man to Watch, Chumil, is hanging in there. Last again though, 19 minutes behind Big Mads, but still there for the rest day - vamos!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

 

[Hugh Januss]

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."

It totally worked because no one else had radios.

 

[Hugh Januss]

Kids will watch him and learn badly how to race!! He sets a bad example.

That's just silly!

 

[RedheadDane]

Best typo ever!

Mad Pedersen claims long-awaited victory at Vuelta a España 2025 on stage 15 in a sprint finish

Cheer the poor guy on is the best thing! He is suffering from gastro ...

Despite gastroenteritis, Sergio Chumil completed stage 15 of the 2025 Vuelta a España. This Monday, the Guatemalan will have a rest day that will allow him to recover for the remaining stages.​

Not a very strange name for a guy with a Swedish mother to give to his son.

It appears that his father is half-Swedish and half-German and his mother is from Northern Ireland. While Björn is a Scandinavian name it is used in Germany, too, like we've seen with Schröder and Thurau and others.
