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

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

So a flat sprint finish between Landa and Bernal or whats going to happen now???

 

[Peyroteo94]

Stage win with 8 km to go

 

[Cycling111]

Landa vs. Bernal. Who are you going with?

I'm choosing Landa because there's no way he'll have another such close chance to win.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ow I always had in mind he was a bigger guy, my bad. It looked like he had a bigger frame than Vingo.

He‘s pretty much as short as they get.

 

[Brullnux]

So what is happening with the final climb?

 

[Peyroteo94]

So what is happening with the final climb?

Another protest.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

So what is happening with the final climb?

Cancelled

 

[Berniece]

So what is happening with the final climb?

They aren't riding it. Finish is 8km's earlier

 

[Lequack]

Worst Vuelta ever. Better if they actually cancelled it, because this is not a proper race.

 

[Rackham]

The Vuelta really does have an * asterisk now, I mean it doesn't get much more ruined than that. It's a cat 2 climb finish amputated from the race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bernal and Landa are not riding like two men who have been informed of the shortening.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Bernal has a very good sprint for a climber

 

[Andre]

I hope Lecerf is not losing his 9th place overall

 

[Berflamand]

Will they be able to put up some kind of banners and indications of the final few hundred meters at the new finish line or how are Bernal and Landa supposed to know when to start sprinting?

 

[Brullnux]

I think the constantly changing finish lines are quite fun, they should introduce this in other races. Just keep finishing the race whenever a UAE rider is behind, it would be perfect.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Finally Pidcock attacks a descent in this race.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Another protest.

Sigh

 

[postmanhat]

Pidcock leading the descent again to a shortened stage.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

As a Landa fan I will say that Egan will completely smoke him in a flat sprint. Mikel has to take a Palestine flag so the fans leave him alone and they can do they final climb!!! He's going to lose again

 

[Brullnux]

Nice from Pidcock

 

[Cycling111]

Bernal has a very good sprint for a climber

Landa is one of the slowest riders in the peloton.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Does Pidcock know where the finish is this time around?

 

[YavorD]

Pidcock is doing what we are expecting from Caruso since the great Giro of 2023?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Finally Pidcock attacks a descent in this race.

Almeida will drop 10 seconds today

 

[AnotherArmChair]

no climb to the finish favours Bernal
