Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 16: Poio/Poyo – Castro de Herville/Erville (167.9k)

[Heston]

They had the results almost instantly. Why couldn't they do it on the other stage?

Felix Gall Dropped
Race neutralised
Felix back into top 5

Just saying ...leaving it here

But it wasn‘t neutralised? They took times.

 

[Sciatic]

The riders still have to finish climbing anyways to get to their teams!

I guess they just knew earlier this time.

 

[Rou]

Anyone has footage from the finish?

They will take time....

If they want to save the Vuelta I think they have to ban all spectators from the final climbs beginning tomorrow.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Maybe they should have had made the decision earlier and had the finish line at the top of the penultimate climb

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bernal's now only a Tour stage win away from completing the hattrick.

Yes, they will not ride in Madrid this year. Not possible.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Bernal should just go home.

No he won't. Someone who obviously is getting worse during the GT isn't miraculously gonna get better in the last week. And if he's sick now he is not recovering in time either.

just putting this here because i can

 

[Netserk]

To not say too much, all I will say is that I'm glad someone could win today, and that it was Bernal.

100% this

 

[Boehmand]

Haven't watched the stage yet, but see Bernal got his first WT win in over 4 years, and I couldn't be happier

yeah but peloton stopped racing so Gall didnt lose much

 

[Red Rick]

If he had, Landa would have won, which is a preferable result to me.

I truly am prescient.

 

[Heston]

Gall lost 54 seconds

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hard to see this being the last stage of the Vuelta being shortened/cancelled, and also hard to see the Vuelta being the last race this season being impacted. Something is going to have to give, and I don't think the protesters are doing so any time soon.

 

[Red Rick]

Pretty sure that's the 2nd stage that got the finish canceled where I was watching it on while riding on the tacx.

Clearly it's all my fault.

You're in for a surprise

That will just move the protests elsewhere.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bernal now 12th in GC
