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

[Danskebjerge]

Peloton should do the big leadout into the base of the climb again and bring this to 2 minutes

Of course you would want Pedersen to get caught.

Of course you would want Pedersen to get caught.

Because otherwise Pedersen would win, right?

Mads may be mad, he ain't winning today.

 

[Netserk]

Pedersen will get caught no matter what, but there's no danger for the intermediate points.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yes, he understands Norwegian so he must therefore be able to climb like Træen.

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain still pulling. Traen is feeling confident! He should try and attack to put more time into vingegard.

Vingegaard, Ciccone and Almeida all sound like they will play it defensively today. Bahrain will help Visma for the week to come.

 

[skippo12]

Bahrain smart enough to gift the breakaway a few more seconds. Probably reduces the risk of a nuclear Visma leadout.

 

[Red Rick]

Visma is begging to be attacked on Ampriu

 

[Danskebjerge]

Mads may be mad, he ain't winning today.

Theoretically the other riders in the group might get each their puncture.

I'd argue it's the same when spoken, provided a minimum of exposure in order to get used to how things are pronounced. Where there's a will there's a way.

I switch to Danish commentary on Max whenever there's Carlton Kirby (and the Norwegians commentators are extremely boring so I never listen to them). And without having any particular reason to understand Danish any better than the average Norwegian, I can listen to Thomas Bay as if he was speaking Norwegian. I think that goes for most Norwegians if they could be bothered.

Javier Ares and Berto Contador do an excellent job for Spain based Eurosport and
Juan Antonio Flecha often adds to the broadcast.
I wouldn't understand Danish or Norwegian commentary on the race, but I am sure I would get more out of it than US based coverage..

The victory for the peloton is now, according to Jensi, purely mathematically impossible.

Did he invent a new math or something?

Edit: He goes by the old 1min/10km rule perhaps?

UAE will 1-2-3 today with Ayuso, Vine and Vermaerke.

Are we sure Ayuso counts for that?

Considering it's pretty much the same language and completely mutually intelligible, it's not that surprising. Happens every time a Dane is interviewed by Norwegian TV too.

Saw Portuguese and Spanish mentioned with Rui Costa. That's way more impressive/strange, I think. As far as I know, the latin languages aren't completely mutually intelligible, although there is quite a lot of overlap. But I think I've seen Spanish riders answering in Spanish when asked in Italian at the Giro. And I guess Czech and Slovak are also pretty much the same language, but I've never watched any broadcast from those countries.

We (portuguese) can understand most of it. It's only a problem if they speak to fast.

 

[Squire]

Another legendary Saunier Duval 1-2 today to add to the collection!

Maybe to keep morale on the team high, v$ne will gift the stage win to Ajuso?

Yeah, the team is all-in for the chosen son.

Looks like it. Seems like Vine is working way more than Ayuso. The only danger to the 1-2 is if Vine does his normal thing of sitting up completely when his work is done. But I'm expecting him to go for mountain points, so we should be good.

 

[Didinho]

3 minutes looks enough? If Ayuso is somewhat on a decent level.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Of course.

Another big hit to the Jay Vine GOAT agenda
