La Vuelta 2025 ***SPOILERS***

[matticus]

DiveBombGate:
Quest Highlights only showed the actual corner once; plus multiple repeats of the final straight sprint. 🤦‍♂️
But I've found a replay on Youtube. This may be the key frame. Note that Guadu (behind Jonas) is already turning in. From nowhere near the outside of the corner. Jonas is wider (heading wider) and hasn't really started turning yet:

(I'm still scrolling throgh - there may be updates ... !)

It was always likely to be a sprint, the only excitement could have been if Jasper got dropped on the cat 2.

How Gaudu can take La Roja in Voiron
15:05

A French leader as La Vuelta 25 arrives in France? It's possible, especially for David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ). Yesterday's winner, the Breton is level on time with Jonas Vingegaard (Visma - Lease a Bike). He will overtake him by finishing at least one second ahead... or if the tie breaker goes his way. The places obtained in each stage are added up and, as a last resort, the place obtained by the riders in the last stage contested is used. Vingegaard currently has an 8-place lead in the addition of the places from the first three stages (41+1+3 vs 49+3+1). Gaudu will be ranked ahead of Vingegaard in the overall classification if he finishes 8 places ahead of him in Voiron.
