VUELTA 2025 – EXPLOSION DANS L’ANGLIRU ! Almeida tente TOUT face à Vingegaard, le général se précise

Le terrible Angliru a fait un écrémage plutôt mesuré entre les favoris, mais João Almeida en a quand même profité. Le coureur UAE Team Emirates – XRG s’est imposé vendredi dans l’enfer des Asturies après avoir tenu tête toute la montée au maillot rouge Jonas Vingegaard. Le Danois, en gestion, reste en tête du classement général, même si les écarts ont relativement peu évolué.

It’s a legendary day, a legendary climb, a historic day, a victory to be won. At the summit of the Angliru, a victory that will be talked about forever, because in a rider’s career, there are victories that count more than others. Nine have already won at the summit of the Angliru, a Frenchman did it. It was Kenny Ellissonde, in 2013. Twelve years later, we’re still talking about it. There was Primoz Roglic, there was Hugh Carthy, there was Alberto Contador, Juan José Cobo, Roberto Herras, Gilberto Simoni, José Maria Jimenez. There will be a new winner. This year, here, in 2025. David Moncoutié and Jacky Durand to accompany you on this legendary stage of the Angliru with its crazy percentages. It’s also the longest stage of this 2025 Tour of Spain. There are 66 kilometers left to go, and we’re going to revel in these last 66 kilometers with no fewer than three climbs on the program, including this hors catégorie climb, the roof of the Vuelta this year. Rémi Cavagna riding. We’re 55 kilometers from the finish and we’re now facing the first percentages of this stage, the first percentages of the Alto de Mozqueta, the first of the day’s three difficulties. The sacrifice . It’s true that in the last few minutes, since we went on air, we’ve seen the Groupama FDJ rider really take the lead of the peloton. We have the feeling that on the Visma – Lease a Bike team side, we’re still riding at the same pace, but thanks to Rémi Cavagna, we’ve gained a few seconds. It shouldn’t last forever. First element of response, 53 kilometers from the finish, it’s Tom Pidcock’s Q36.5 that’s rolling. We have ambitions for the former winner of Alpe d’Huez. Rémi Cavagna. Rémi Cavagna, then Bob Jungels, who will have blown this group from 25 to 2. They will have made this climb. First, the Auvergnat, then the Luxembourger will have ensured the 6.4 kilometers of this ascent of the Mozqueta. Nicolas Vinokourov. As I said, a hell of a climb by the young rider of the XDS Astana team, who has just taken over from Bob Jungels. Come on, Mads Pedersen in the sprint, behind. He’s tearing himself away behind, Mads Pedersen, the wearer of the Green Jersey. He has 22 kilometers, it should be enough to get back to this group of five. Not worried about him. He’s descending well too. He had to get within 20 seconds. Contract fulfilled. He’s almost already made the junction thanks to his sprint at the top of this pass. Bob Jungels is at the front with Nicolas Vinokourov, Gianmarco Garoffoli, Jefferson Cepeda, Mads Pedersen, and Huub Artz, who had been distanced by Pedersen in the final few hundred meters. With that dog tied to a chair. He left, he took the chair with him. It could have been carnage. He could have taken two riders to the ground there too. Lack of vigilance, certainly on the part of the owners. We’re doing well. Luckily, it was two riders and not the peloton at that moment. Mads Pedersen will get 20 points. Nicolas Vinokourov will cross the line in second place. Note that there are no bonus points in terms of seconds. Those will be those seconds, those 6.4 and 2 seconds to be gained at the summit of the Alto del Cordal. He continues, Mads Pedersen with Nicolas Vinokourov. Why not? And off we go. Come on. The Alto del Cordal. It’s a short transition, after all. It will be even shorter. It will be even shorter between the Cordal and the Angliru. That’s it.
It’s a traditional climb to reach the foot of the Angliru. We pass the Alto del Cordal. It’s a small group, the red jersey peloton, what will we have? About fifteen riders, no more. We took it there, over the last two kilometers, we practically gained a minute from the leading group. It shows that Jay Vine’s relay was more than strong. 13 riders and two borderline riders who will come back in the descent. Including a Visma – Lease a Bike rider. Watch out, all those riders who were borderline in the climb, who might want to take risks in the descent. Marc Soler, he won’t be there. He’s there. He’s there, Marc Soler. There won’t be many left. Alongside Joao Almeida. I’m very sure that Félix Grossschartner will still be there. DomenNovak, I don’t believe it. He descends well, Jay Vine. He descends quickly. He descends quickly. He did 108. In his first victory, Pal Andorra, he made the decision in the descent. Yes. No, but he’s incredible, this rider. It’s true, we mock him a little from time to time, because often… Tiberi who took all the risks in the descent to come back. He absolutely wanted to get back to the leading trio. Antonio Tiberi, victim of a puncture on the previous descent. We didn’t necessarily feel he was calm on his bike since then. Yes. And then, it’s over . Right now. He’ll be on eggshells until the end, Antonio Tiberi, who managed to limit the damage, brake well, and cushion the fall, but Antonio Tiberi, unfortunately, won’t be back at the front of the race. We’re officially at the foot of the Angliru, not yet a double-digit percentage , but it’s starting to climb well. The start of the climb is now. We remind you of this climb, David, you described it in palettes earlier , 4.7 km at 7.3% to start. Then, 1 kilometer at 2%, and that’s where, for you, the climb really begins with 6.3 kilometers at 13.3%. For me, the hell of the Angliru begins 6 km from the finish. Officially, it’s now starting for the riders: Nicolas Vinokourov, Bob Jungels and Jefferson Cepeda who will be blocked for a few moments by protesters once again, as was the case in Figueres, as was the case in Bilbao as well. Demonstration on the road of this thirteenth stage, they had a 2 minute and 25 second lead. We’ll get them going again in a few moments after having evacuated these protesters from the road of the thirteenth stage, of course. I think the commissaires, obviously, started the clock. They’re climbing so fast that Joao Almeida, he even took a small break. Ouch, ouch, ouch, Egan Bernal, distanced. Egan Bernal is losing contact. We’re also losing a teammate with Ben Tulett on the side of the Visma – Lease a Bike team. It’s gone there. We would have liked to see him, obviously, fight with the best. And then another rider who was distanced a few moments ago, the fourth-place finisher in the general classification, the Norwegian and former red jersey wearer, Torstein Traeen, has lost contact. We’ll see it with this helicopter view and especially with the gap shown. The gap is closing quickly with the group of favorites. We want to fight for victory in this terrible Anguiru on the pedals. We’ll see if Jonas Vingegaard is ultra-dominant or not. Or Joao Almeida who, for the moment, is making his teammates ride. He may have confidence in himself. We remember that during Jonas Vingegaard’s victory, he was a little far behind, he didn’t expect the Dane’s attack. He said: I could have followed Jonas Vingegaard. We’ll see on a very steep climb if we can have a duel, at least in this end of the Vuelta between the two riders. The unknown Tom Pidcock as well. Is he able to hang on? Then we’re also expecting a good Felix Gall, who loves this kind of climb. The Decathlon AG2R teammate. We’re starting to get some fans. That means the slope is starting to get steeper for Bob Jugles. The flat section is short-lived. That’s when hell will begin for all the riders in this Vuelta. Things are already starting to go to hell for Nicolas Vinokourov, because the XDS Astana rider can no longer keep up. Bob Jungels is going off alone. It’s over for Jay Vine. One rider down, besides Joao Almeida, there’s only Grossschartner left with the Portuguese. Come on, that’s it. From now on. It’s all he can do… Ciccone determined. And Pelizzari, watch out, who has been dropped a little, who is losing ground to Riccitello. Remember that there’s a fight for the white jersey. There’s less than 30 seconds between Riccitello and Pelizzari in the general classification. Giulo Ciccone, already in last place in this group, gentlemen. This looks bad for the leader of the Lidl-Trek team. Yeah, Grossschartner, he’s putting on a show. And now, on the other hand, it’s going to be difficult for him to continue. Joao Almeida will find himself in first place in the group of favorites. It’s over for Großsschartner. There are only four of them now because Pidcock has dropped back and Matthew Riccitello as well. Will Großsschartner manage to keep Jai Hindley’s wheel to recover a few moments? Joao Almeida leads the way. Jonas Vingegaard is on his wheel, Sepp Kuss in third position. Jai Hindley and Großsschartner are now dropping back. It’s over for the Austrian rider who will have cleaned up his heels. It still looks like it’s off to a bad start. The climb isn’t over yet. We could have riders who get completely stuck like Jai Hindley, who is currently making the right preparations for the podium. The Joao Almeida – Jonas Vingegaard duel. We’ve said it. This Angliru is still a deciding factor in this Vuelta. They’re definitely the two strong men. For the podium, it’s going to be consistency. Who will pay off behind, we’ll take stock. Between a Tom Pidcock and a Matthew Riccitello that we can see. A Felix Gall, a little further back. You said it earlier, Jacky, about thirty seconds ago, 27 seconds ago, very exactly in favor of the Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe team. Too hard for Sepp Kuss and Jai Hindley. It’s surprising, but it’s Sepp Kuss who explodes. So we’ll have an argument between the two leaders of the general classification, the two riders, in any case, who occupy the first two places. Joao Almeida, runner-up to Jonas Vingegaard this morning. The long-awaited argument will indeed take place. He accelerated Almeida. His shoulders a little more tucked in at the pace. It’s true that he’s not the type of rider to launch regular attacks , especially on steep gradients. We feel that the Portuguese rider has raised the bar, and only the race leader manages to keep in touch: Jonas Vingegaard and Joao Almeida, wheel to wheel. It’s the Portuguese rider who has done everything. It’s the Portuguese rider who’s practically leading the way now, since his teammates have moved away. The climb isn’t over, but we can see that Joao Almeida, I think he’s going to give Jonas Vingegaard a hard time . We’re trying to accelerate, we’re standing on the pedals. Joao Almeida is dancing again. Is Jonas Vingegaard able to hold on? Yes, he’s still there, the Dane, he’s not giving up. I can feel it, the Portuguese has tried to accelerate a little more. Here we are in the last steep gradients of this Angliru. Capable of holding on, yes. Is Jonas Vingegaard capable of attacking now? I don’t think he would take the risk of arriving in a two-man sprint. He will wait until the last 200, 300 meters of the climb before diving for the finish line. The last kilometer for Joao Almeida, for Jonas Vingegaard. There is a prestigious victory, a historic victory to be won. The tenth summit finish of the Angliru. The last winner was Primoz Roglic. That was two years ago. Hugh Carthy, that was in 2020. Alberto Contador won here. Kenny Ellisonde too. The very first was José María Jiménez. That was in 1999. Who will win this thirteenth stage? Joao Almeida or Jonas Vingeard. Now, we can feel it and he’s trying one last time, Joao Almeida, to put pressure on the red jersey. But no. A little two-man sprint now. A two-man sprint and Jonas Vingegard. He knows this finish perfectly. He knows it very well. He will have stayed in second position all the way up. At 500 meters. And then, it’s going to go fast. We have to sprint soon. It’s going to go very fast. Close the door a little. Is he going to take the risk of passing here, Jonas Vingegaard? If he wants the stage victory, he has to do it now. Joao Almeida in a sprint with Jonas Vingegaard on his wheel. Joao Almeida still in front. Not sure Jonas Vingegaard can get past. Advantage still to the Portuguese who led the entire climb. Will the Dane be able to get past now? He’s not saying it, he’s not saying it. He didn’t manage to get past him before the finish line. Vingegaard will finish second. Beaten, Jonas Vingegaard. Victory for Joao Almeida. No gap today. Status quo between the leader of the general classification, Jonas Vingegaard , and his runner-up, Joao Almeida. But, a stage victory for the Portuguese. Sixth victory for the team in this Tour of Spain. The first in the Vuelta for Joao Almeida. His second victory in a Grand Tour. Third place for Jai Hindley, who is reborn in this 2025 Tour of Spain. Sepp Kuss will take fourth place. Gaps, yes, but not that big, in the end. And suspense will continue to be expected to determine the overall winner of this Vuelta. That’s good, there are still many stages to go . We were expecting an explanation here. We didn’t really get one between Jonas Vingegaard, beaten on the line, and Joao Almeida, the winner here at the Angliru. The top 10 of this stage at the Angliru. Joao Almeida wins ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, Jai Hindley, third. Behind, Felix Gall posted the best result for a French team in fifth place. Giulio Pelizzari, sixth. Tom Pidcock, seventh. Matthew Riccitello, 8th. Giulio Ciccone tried to limit the damage. He entered the top 10 in ninth place and Adel Balderstone, the Spanish time trial champion, made a great comeback, closing out the top 10. The new general classification with Jonas Vingegaard now only 46 seconds ahead of Joao Almeida thanks to time bonuses. Tom Pidcock is still third, now 2’18” behind Vingegaard.
