Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 8: Monzón – Zaragoza (163.5k)

No resorting to the Covid-era face masks at the signing in so no panic in the peloton yet.

I think his transitioning to a women might be a bigger story than the transfer

Ayuso joining the ladies team? Wow!

So more weekend terrorism from ASO.

Good for me, there's lots of work to get done.

And there's much sleep to get done here.
So I'll turn on the signal in a few

Interesting comment from Pedersen pre-stage IMO.

When asked if they considered swapping Kragh and Hoole in his leadout, he replied that wouldn't make sense considering the future (i.e. Hoole leaving the team).

It tells you something about Pedersen - already now - being firmly focused on the spring season, when it's a bigger priority to get his 2026 ducks in a row than winning a Vuelta stage.

It also tells you where the Vuelta ranks amongst the top riders

Interesting to see if Lidl-Trek will botch their leadout again today.

A top 5 for Pedersen could be useful.

Have ASO decided that weekend stages just don't matter? Stage 15 is yet another random transition stage in a prime viewing slot. I wonder if could also be why fewer people than normal watched the Tour...

Joan Bou on the attack with some company.

Come on! Someone had to do it.

So I just tuned in and these are the first posts I read while catching up (had no idea you guys were talking about Ayuso so had to read prior posts), imagine my surprise and confusion!

Hope the scenery is good............

It's not, it's all flat, dry, and right now they are riding next to a freeway with some fairly decent car traffic.

What's the record for fewest forum posts in a GT stage?

All stages before 2009 had 0.

Almeida, Ayuso, and Soler, when they're the only UAE riders left and somebody has to pull

 

[CyclistAbi]

Hopefully for at least Šeško to attack today, the rest looks calm.

 

[dgodave]

Wow, Tiberi lost 15 minutes yesterday? What happened?

Toxoplasmosis?

If all three of us who are watching this stage pull together we can set a new record today.

On that note good lord, watching this stage is a chore, thankfully only 36km left.

PCS getting increasingly desperate with it's stats to fill the void. We're currently at;

Artz Huub (Intermarché - Wanty) is born on the day that CIPOLLINI Mario won Giro d'Italia | Stage 3 to Esch-sur-Alzette.

Burgos down to 5 already with Fagundez DNF. Aparicio is sick as well, so could be 4 soon.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I sometimes feel pity for the super sprinters - they have fewer chances these years. But then I watch stages like the one today and think "what's the point"?

There are others of us watching who don't see anything worth commenting about

My favourite came during the TdF:

"Wout Van Aert featured as a squirrel in The Masked Singer."

They showed a cool bridge just now, so there's at least that...

Good crowds though roadside

Darn. I missed the bridge. I guess it will come around again.

Way less than this.
