Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 2: Alba – Limone Piemonte (159.6k)

[Tim Cahill]

Davide top 3!!!

He's ready to win this Vuelta a Espana.

 

[Heston]

Vinge winning after crashing, chapeau! Real ciclismo

UAE looking like a bit of a mess.

Pidcock with a vintage Pidcock 10th place

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Also, where on earth is Gaudu coming from? He was 45 minutes down in Ain a few weeks ago...

 

[CatchyH]

Pogacar would've smoked these fools. UAE without him is like a cat without claws.

 

[Lequack]

Vuelta is over.

Solerism is back, boys. Will be a fun race.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Langellotti looks unlikely to still get into the right position for this

Abandoned by the team

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, so we had a mountain bunch sprint. Strange.

Slow-mo mountain bunch sprint.

(The bunch sprint was slow-mo, not the mountain. Well... the mountain was very slow-mo, but... mountains are generally not supposed to move... at all.)

 

[Didinho]

Sorry for Giulio. The jump decides the winner.

Vingo already calling home. More important than a jacket or recovery ride.

They told him it was the Vuelta midway the final climb.

and bernal out-kicking UAE on this finish.

hope yet!

 

[HashRouge]

Bernal looked really good there, the dream is alive!!!

Although realistically, I now expect Jonas to be in red for the rest of the race.

 

[AmRacer]

ET phone home.

 

[Sciatic]

Pogacar would've smoked these fools. UAE without Pogacar is like a cat without claws.

Are you going to repeat that for every stage?

Not particularly convincing from Jonas... Not that it will matter at the Vuelta, though.

 

[titan31]

Who on earth were EF trying to ride for? None of them even finished in that final group.

Vingo already calling home. More important than a jacket or recovery ride.

According to PCS, the average temperature was 20 degrees. No self-respecting Dane needs a jacket in those temps.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I look forward to reading multiple posts about how boring the vuelta is, how theres no drama, how its all over etc etc just because Jonas won today.

 

[CatchyH]

Are you going to repeat that for every stage?

I'll make sure to do that since you insist.

 

[Red Rick]

Vingegaard paid tribute to Roglic by not celebrating after a 10 minute stomp. Good lad.

A lot of comments in this thread will probably bear repeating for most MTFs.

Tiberi lost time today on GC. Down 21 seconds on pcs
