Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 18: Valladolid - Valladolid (12.2k)

[Cycling111]

Any idea how much time cut is for todays stage? Just wondering wtf UAE domestiques, well many other domestiques too are riding this tt like eyeballs out?

Yesterday was a day of rest for Almeida's teammates. Today is a day of work .

Apparently it was fake news that the name of the country was removed from the jersey of IPT.
Clearly visible from the slow motion of Vernon.

 

[RedheadDane]

Gregaard claiming that he just "suddenly got good legs" and Segaert just "happened to be there".

Was it ever said about their skinsuits?

It would be a stupid decision to keep it on the skinsuit when TTs are the more dangerous races.

I presume it would be a logistical thing,

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pippo made everyone a Gannabe

 

[madthebad]

what's up with this 12k ITT ? I miss the old days when you had 50-60km flat TT . What is even the point of this?

 

[Rou]

Juan 'hard working' Ayuso on the road.

Apparently whatever feeble attempts at security are being made, are easier over less than half the distance.

 

[Red Rick]

Ayuso is not, in fact, doing the funniest thing.

 

[Samamba]

Good start for Kung

 

[Brullnux]

Ayuso is not, in fact, doing the funniest thing.

I think randomly podiuming a TT after doing absolutely no domestique work is excellent. Would be even better if he beats Almeida.

 

[Samamba]

Kung probably the only who can beat Ganna

 

[Samamba]

Kung also got wrecked in last part.

 

[Red Rick]

Kung is washed, get ready to learn Arabic Swiss buddy

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Ayuso sat up yesterday ?

 

[RedheadDane]

He's Ganna do it, ain't he?

 

[Samamba]

Sander de Pestel LOL

 

[Heston]

Sander de Pestel LOL

What the hell

 

[Rou]

Ayuso sat up yesterday ?

Nah, he is a loyal teammate. How can you even think that?

 

[Cycling111]

He's Ganna do it, ain't he?

Yes, it's too flat. I doubt Alemida or Vingegaard can reach that speed.

The Star of David is there as well, though no everyone may make that connection

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

How come Ganna so incredibly much faster than everyone else in the last 4 km? Wind change or just fantastic pacing?

 

[Brullnux]

Kung also got wrecked in last part.

4 s/km.

If Ganna wins this I'm not sure we can really say that he overdoes the negative split. If it works, it works. It might just suit him psychologically or physiologically for whatever reason, but he's been doing it his whole career.
