La Vuelta 2025 ***SPOILERS***

[mjr]

I didn't think the organisers were surprised, they seemed to be expecting it.

If they expected it, why was there reportedly no timing infrastructure at the fallback finish? Results took ages.

Archie Ryan will not start stage 13 of La Vuelta today due to muscular strain in his right glute.
Shame as was looking good...get well soon !

What a pain in the arse for him. Hopefully people don't have the cheek to question his commitment 🤣🤣

It's one of those short, punchy, 45 minute all out efforts.

One of the climbs I have never had any ambition to do myself.

You crack me up!

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Stop being rumpy old men you lot.
Archie shouldn’t be the butt of everyone’s jokes.

The Vuelta is definitely a game of two halves, but I think Archie would only have been bring up derrière today

I have the utmost respect for your dedication to Stewart Lee's "jokes", including the methodologically accurate multiple repetitions 👍

 

[mididoctors]

Shame they aren't showing the whole stage

Let the battle begin 😁
Vinny ahead of stage 13....
"I really want to win today, I won't hide that. Angliru is a special climb and one of those you want to have on your palmares. We have to give everything we can all the way to the finish line."

Friday afternoon and I had my day planned lounging on the sofa with refreshments...now I've got work ☹️

25 riders in the BOTD. Nobody within a country mile of the GC as far as I can see, but they have less than 3 minutes.

I think too many riders, including Jonas, want to win on the Angliru so very unlikely the break will be allowed to much leeway today.

Did Lou get very angry with Archie and kick his butt?

I'm thinking they'll only just be given enough time to get over the first climb ahead
