Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 4: Susa – Voiron (206.7k)

[search]

let's see who takes the white jersey today, with the top 7 currently only seperated by the sum of their placings

RANK	SUM	NAME
1​	93​	Ayuso Juan
2​	101​	Paret-Peintre Valentin
3​	130​	Lecerf Junior
4​	160​	Pellizzari Giulio
5​	169​	Riccitello Matthew
6​	181​	Frigo Marco
7​	195​	López Harold Martín

but with VPP out now, Ayuso will probably keep it - even if he might have prefered to do the TTT in his normal jersey.

 

[Lievro]

Yes, apparently due to illness.

He got sick because of the cyclists defensive way of riding !

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So when Vinge wins this Giro I mean Vuelta does it somehow count as half a Giro? I'm trying to see the logic here in racing 4 days in Italy (& even a peekaboo into France because why not).

No, it will count as half a Tour de Pologne victory, of the 2013 kind.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

It's all I wanted

Pogi fans: Vingo is a defensive rider
Vingo: hold my beer
Trine: Honey, dont do anything stupid. Housework is waiting.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Evidently the gap between the break and the peloton is decreasing as they are climbing the second peak of the day...

Good lord, 35 more mins till live pictures

Lidl drilling it to drop the heavy guys.

Lidl drilling it to drop the heavy guys.

Wouldn‘t make much sense to do that on Lautaret

 

[Valv.Piti]

At least we dont miss anything meaningful

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lidl drilling it to drop the heavy guys.

If PCS is to be trusted the gap has grown again, I guess somebody is trying something, somewhere...

Come on guys, slow it down a bit, I want to at least see the descent!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Sean Quinn breaking loose from the break and taking his chances like yesterday

 

[Rob5091]

Congrats to Nicolau and Caja Rural for grabbing the KOM jersey.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

At last live pictures, hopefully commentators won't spend too much time recapping as the riders are in the middle of the descent...

Yeah, they're spending too much time recapping yesterday's stage, so there goes the big descent. Or at least a good portion of it.

What is the point of these interviews about what they plan to do when already all of the mountains have been passed. What a farce this is, just show the live images ffs

 

[Potomac]

Why so late for live pictures today?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice heli shots of the mountains, I knew I'd watch this stage for a reason.

You could join the rest of us in boycotting the stage

 

[VanBsr]

Was any sprinter left behind?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

So I get Sean Quinn and Quinn Simmons mixed up...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Was any sprinter left behind?

I don't think so, PCS doesn't mention any being dropped earlier

 

[Potomac]

JFC...did all the sprinters get over those hills

 

[Ilmaestro99]

If the 2004 Giro route was a joke, then what the hell was the 2022 Vuelta route?

That Giro had the following stages

TT

Queen stages

Further evidence to support my theory that remco is a belgien cunego. Not an insulting comparison.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Break caught with 91km to go, I guess the sprinter trains will take over from here on out.

Philipsen for the win! (I hope)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Give the boy some proper draft for god sakes.

 

[yaco]

This is such a weak break man. Like where is all the teams that can't win this in a sprint or shouldn't want to control the stage anyway?

I suspected this would be a sleepy stage because teams want to save their resources for the TTT. Expect fireworks on stage six.

But who cares about the TTT other than GC teams and the ones who can win. Half the WT teams don't even have a good enough TT set up
