Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 19: Rueda - Guijuelo (161.9 km)

[Red Rick]

Should be one for the sprinty boys. Doesn't look like there's any echelon potential really, with a 15kph crosswind that's coming from the side entirely.

This is connecting the Rueda wine region with Guijuelo's iberico ham region. I'm salivating.

Looks like a sprint.

A 2 man break and a long snooze on the Chesterfield, before Trek really should boss their way to a win.
(Hoping Burgos send Chumil and the other remaining team mates off in the break -team attack! (tm B&B Hotels)). GC guys have a big day on Saturday, so unless there's some disaster, they'll be planning for a quiet day.

I've read that it's an area that tends to be quite windy and could be echelons.

Seeing past disasters in UAE on echelons days, Visma already knows what to do.

 

[Lequack]

Don't know why they don't shorten today's boring stage as well.

A 2 man break

Yep. Only seven teams have won a stage so far, and still it's a two man break with Caja Rural and Arkea.
Intermarché still has a full team in the race!

Burgos, Q36.5. They have Pidcock for the GC but no teammate is getting into the breakaways.
Lotto stil believes in Vivani's options, but they should force Alpecin not to arrive with all the domestiques at the end.
Instead they help them:


Teams pulling in peloton

• Alpecin - Deceuninck
• Lotto

Fabio Christen has only been in one breakaway this Vuelta, that's a big disappointment to me as I saw him as a potential stage winner on several break stages, but it seems like he might not be in great form as his showing in the break on stage 12 wasnt good. And with the way Pidcock has been riding one can easily accept that they have been all in on him the whole Vuelta.

Yes. Maybe he's been sick.

Today's final has a 200 meters at 5% and the end 400 meters at 3%.

Those are some interesting looking trees.

Brian Smith saying Almeida must for once think "it's NOT how it is" and tomorrow have UAE drive it as hard as they can

Gotta at least get their sponsors some tv time

 

[RedheadDane]

So, did no one else other than Otruba try?
Or was he simply the only one who got away?

He was up there with V. Guernalec first, but he dropped back

It looks dryer than a popcorn fart

Gotta love the hype and excitement of the last week of a gt

Jonas and Joao to sprint?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Jonas gets the time for free

 

[Rou]

Almeida is completely clueless. He doesn't deserve the Vuelta victory.
Doesn't have the dog in him.

 

[MrTea1976]

Just Jonas.

Only Jonas, Joao sleeping as usual

 

[Lequack]

Almeida should switch teams along with Ayuso. Amateur team.
