Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 7: Andorra la Vella – Cerler (188.0k)

[Brullnux]

Ayuso and Vine attacking their teammates, Pedersen random attack up a Cat 1. All the stars aligning

Pedersen ruining another race with his undesirable attitude.

 

[Cassirer]

It looked doomed for ayuso, but with Mads the 152km mountain-saga is on the table again!

 

[Netserk]

Ayuso can't even outclimb a sprinter on a HC col?

 

[Red Rick]

Ayuso can't even outclimb a sprinter on a HC col?

This isn't a HC?

 

[Red Rick]

Pedersen ruining another race with his undesirable attitude.

Joke's on you if you think this adds anything.

 

[Netserk]

This isn't a HC?

In a few years with the current inflation.

 

[Brullnux]

Pedersen is attacking to join his future teammate, the work they're going to do together will be phenomenal.

Joke's on you if you think this adds anything.

Joke's on you if you think it doesn't.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big KOM points on offer for Ayuso!

It adds the annoyance that he does something completely useless that makes people act like he's an exciting rider.

Big KOM points on offer for Ayuso!

Ayuso and Vine fighting each other for the KOM jersey?

 

[Brullnux]

Vine in the chase group, let's go Jay!

You're just digging your hole man, I have no idea what you're talking about.

What a completely bizarre thing to criticise him for this.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Has the makings of a legendary UAE stage

Ayuso out front, Vine attacking and chasing for KoM points, the rest of the team chasing in the peloton. Beautiful stuff

 

[pvieira91]

i'm looking forward to watch butterfly effect about this stage. It's gonna be epic. This the most knucklehead move i've seen.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Vingegaard now marking Nico Denz

I'm sure you're referring to a 2 week old argument while having no idea what I'm talking about. That sounds absolutely plausible.

It's not even like I'm criticizing Pedersen either, I'm just denying it adds much to the race, unless Ciccone is gonna attack midway through the stagy, which i somehow doubt.

 

[Netserk]

Disappointed that Kuss or Jorgenson didn't mark the group. No one is a threat in GC.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pedersen with some vintage Van Aert tactics...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Campenaerts is definitely past his Tour peak, haven‘t actually seen him at all today.

 

[Red Rick]

Looks like that break is gone.

Time for a siesta

 

[Tim Cahill]

Strangely passive race from Visma so far, they were banging on about Vingegaard being better later in the race so maybe it's that.

But if he does or Pedersen just gets to the points sprint, you'll clamp up and ignore it. And if he rides Vingegaard off his wheel and Ciccone into the sunset on the final climb, it'll only be because he was in the break, and he's actually still not a good rider.

It's exactly what you always used to do with Van Aert when he was absolutely crushing the Tour. And if anything is useless, it's probably listening to a guy who has a negative opinion of a rider and will always use that negative preconception to undermine every performance of said rider 'to balance thing out'.
