[Applause] Woo! Woo! That’s really easy one. That’s it. Close it by the next morning. So, not going to do the flow. Yeah. Can’t beat it. How much memory does this have? Take a lot of sufficient. No worries. You look good with that that camera. [Music] [Applause] Okay, that’s it. Thank you. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] quite steep. Yeah, but this is better maybe. I don’t know if it’s if it’s steep or not. Photos work. Someone wants to do 2 hours then follow. You go. I will follow you a little bit. I’ll just do like 5 10 minutes more with you. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. I don’t know. Yeah. First of all, I had a a good time between the the tour and the Walta. I enjoyed being together with the with my family and uh I feel like the this shape is good and I’m ready for the next three weeks of racing. It is clear we we we came here with Yonas with a very strong team and we are coming here to win but it will not be easy but of course that’s the goal. Thanks Hull. This is the end of the press conference. Thanks. Thank you. attack good around that one. Yeah. And also that we don’t say stupid [ __ ] that uh I mean we are also the favorite. So yeah. Yeah. It’s just how it is. We cannot come around that. And yeah, I mean I will not be happy with the second place. So [Music] [Music] Nice. [Music] I like [Music] that. You’re a speaker. [Music] when you’re too late. Okay, Lava Espña in Italy and France. They couldn’t chose it, so they combine everything together. We are re here with a really strong team. Couple of guys coming out of the tour. They get the the rest and now uh heading forward towards racing again. The other guys had a proper altitude camp and also ready to race. everybody is on a healthy and and on a high level. The tactics about the race plan is more athletic in general that we want to ride more defensively the first uh 10 stages and also we believe that the hardest part and the most decipher to grow a little bit more into the race. We try to create good situations in the beginning that we don’t have to control all day from stage one till 21. It’s important we choose our battles in this welter. Otherwise, we can use all our energy on all stages and especially the five stages we pointed out 11, 13, 14, 17, and 20 is the stages we look to where you can really gain some time on your opponents. But that doesn’t mean that we didn’t want to like to win like we talked about like stage two for example. Yeah. If there’s a chance by the end, yeah, then it’s not like we sit back and say, “Yeah, we don’t we don’t go for it.” Of course. Then we go for it. But yeah, something to add for you, Yonas, before we go to stage one. Yeah, I would like to say that I’m really looking forward to to racing here with all of you. So, yeah, shortly after the tour obviously, but uh I had a good period in between and yeah, really looking forward to this race. Really motivated and uh yeah, I think we can do really good things in these three weeks. I hope everyone is really behind the plan and let’s go for it. [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] I love you. I love you. [Music] Stage one of the 2025 Welter Espania is officially underway. Wherever you are, [Music] you are looked good. Yeah, it’s a bit more easy than in the tour. I mean, a bit more easy to to uh stay in the front. Not not like not slower, but you were you guys were pretty impressive by taking the front. Yeah. All good. Yes. Good feelings, good sensations. Yeah, it was quite good actually. Or the first time they came before this this the categorized climb, I was not ready to fight for it. Yeah. Mentally. Yeah. I was like, “Oh, not not yet.” Yeah. And then Yeah. I was sitting next to Peterson and he said, “Oh, no, no, we don’t do anything.” I was like, “Oh, okay.” And about tomorrow, what’s your thought about it? As as you spoke spoke about before, I don’t think we as team should invest anything in keeping it together. Yeah. But of course, if the chance is there, I think we on the last track, we should we should try to do something. Uh but also, yeah, then ideally we be safe till the last 2k. Yeah. To uh to give the a kick. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds good. [Music] We can go further to today from Alba to Lemon 159.5. The goal is to stay in GC with Yonas. If Yonas feel good, he can give the call to Ben and then we go from our chances and don’t look too much to the others. If he’s there, he should go for the for the win, shouldn’t he? It’s very cryptical and selfish. One and a half minutes. We will break. Come on. Well, the weather then took a turn for the worse with the rain starting to fall and the roads becoming slippery. [Music] is the red guys. Okay, Jonas is back riding. So we wait at him. [ __ ] yeah. Yeah, he stay with them. We go axel. [Music] I need a new bike. I found Yeah. When we’re with you, we give you a new bike. foreign. And now you’re already really good in front. We And we will race for the stage, guys. Really good. Biza bike taking control with 3k to go. So Vingar was obviously feeling okay. It would come down to a bunch sprint for the climbers as they hit the final kilometer. Photo finish. Photo finish. Photo finish. On the radio. They say photo finish. Are you sure you’re on us? 100%. Yes. Good job, guys. Yes. Yeah. [Applause] Yeah, to be honest, I mean, you’re not going to let the stage win past. So, uh yeah, when I saw the opportunity, of course, I’ll I’ll take it also. And uh super happy to take the v victory today. Uh, super happy with with how I felt and how the team did today. So, uh, yeah, super happy with with also having the red jersey here. Listen, I’m 100% sure 100% [Music] [Music] Victor sent a picture nutrition facts of champagne. That was really a nice one. Yeah, especially after the crash, I was like, “Oh, fuck.” to be honest with like with 100 to go I was like he’s going strong and then after the corner I was like oh [ __ ] it’s still still pretty far to uh to the finish line so I was like good job man But you did a really good job also in the the sliding. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You learned a lot of speed skating. I thought I could slide all the way to the finish, but then I hit a bike and then turn around. Yeah. During during the sliding, you turn around to pick your bike. Look where it was. I’ll let you pop the first one. I’m going to shower you. No, thank you. [Music] Happy to to take a victory today. But uh yeah, on the other hand, we’re also uh just got the news with with Axel. So, a bit of a a bittersweet day to be honest. Yeah, we have to to keep fighting and uh we have a a big goal here of of winning and I think today we took a a big step in that. Um so yeah, thank you for for the help to to everyone. I know how much everyone is sacrificing and uh it means a lot for me that uh that you all want to do this for for everyone here and uh yeah, thank you once again. Cheers. [Applause] bad news this morning when you woke up. Can you tell us more how things went? Actually, it was indeed bad uh bad news because the the track was uh broken open and uh and some bikes were stolen and it was really with severe violence that they opened the truck because it’s almost impossible to open it. Um so for us it was a big shock this morning when we woke up and uh the mechanics did a incredible good job uh by building uh bikes and the bikes that we need. So uh they are coming in a minute and uh then we have enough bikes to to race fortunately. So that’s good. Only Yonas, Victor, Vilo have their race bike. You you other guys, the bike is built now. It will come here. But try it out yourself. Especially the position, but also the brakes, the shifting when you go to the sign on or even before before you get on the rollers. I would say everybody has at least one spare bike. Most of you and for sure Yonas, but I think we have five second spare bikes as well on second. So, we have more than enough bikes. The rest are coming today, tonight. But uh we are we all good. But the four of you they they build the bikes now and they will be here in maybe 10 minutes. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Joshua. [Music] [Applause] Puerto Rico. Concerning the the team time trial, it’s a super nice discipline. We we we won the team time trial in in Preise this year. So um yeah the the the goal in to start with is would be would be great to be competitive for the win when I see the the start list certainly I don’t see ourselves as the favorites and I would also expect that on a pakur like this very flat fairly short it will take at least less than half an hour um there will not be very big gaps for for the GC but but it’s a very nice discipline and of course we hope we can we can win some time onto our on our opponents. Yeah. So, just looking at the course anyway is that it’s Yeah. You have quite a lot of like long straight bits actually which aren’t too bad and then three or four like villages where you have some tight corners where you really have to look after each other. I think it’s the best way to make sure that we get five to the finish which yeah at the moment we have in mind Victor’s I’m offended by this sheep like everyone says engine but with me it’s just keep the speed high. I I put my engine on there as well. Huge engine. Huge engine. Yeah. Big biggest engine. You’re not the engine. You’re the truck. This one. So, this is the training for today. Anyway, this is what we have like out and back. It’s 5k on good roads. [Music] You’ll get a you’ll get an internal ban from the team. [Music] Yeah. You even made a start for us. Okay. Yeah. So just I think roll roll out for 10k. So 5k to the roundabout. Careful on the roundabout. Roll back. You have a car in front, a car behind. We have radios. Try to kind of stay as a a group. But you don’t need to be in in the order. Just warm up. And then we come back and we do the do the first run. Said I’m taking big shots. Just stop. Way I’m driven. No piss stops. This hot. I ain’t playing like a six fight. Pissed off. Thought I told him this a chip shot. I ain’t missing cuz you know I’m taking big shots. just stop way I’m driven no piss stops this hot I ain’t playing like a six pissed off thought I told him this a chip shot I ain’t missing cuz you know I’m taking but uh like we showing Paris in the training there is that it’s a little bit easier if you go faster like if you cruise around at like 300 W then it’s choppy it’s choppy in the group then in the wheel it’s just yeah it’s just a bit [ __ ] you spend the whole time set up at 150 W it’s [ __ ] so I think on the front you can push a little bit but still do like 15 seconds and then so just a little on the threshold on the front. Yeah. Yeah. Or just a bit above otherwise you’re just spinning also. Yeah. It’s only 15 seconds. But if your threshold is 500 like Mat then it’s fine. Yeah. I’m shooting it’s messy the way I’m hitting the go. I’m taking big shots. Just stop. I’m driven. No piss stops. This hot. I ain’t playing like a sixot pissed off. Thought I told him this a chip shot. I ain’t missing cuz you know I’m taking big shots. Just stop. way I’m driven. No pit stops this hot. I ain’t playing like a six pit stop. Oh, closer. So that’s not disrupting the that the only thing that disrupts the the flow is if the front person follows the person pulling up. Okay. I feel like if we have to go faster, it’s race speed. Yeah, you can’t go much faster. I mean, yeah. [Applause] Don’t forget, it’s going to [ __ ] hurt from kilometer zero. We talk a lot about the strategy and the and the core at the corners and the the parkour, but anyway, it will hurt from kilometer zero. All the good TTS we’ve done, we set the bar super high from kilometer 1, kilome zero. And you’ll be crying for mommy. But mommy won’t come. Oh, yummy. Mommy won’t come. Only after 25. Only after 24k. But you can do it. You already proven this. we can really go for the victory. Okay. I mean, we’re one man down now. It’s [ __ ] for us, but we still have, in my opinion, the strongest team here. I still think we can fight for the victory. So, yeah, let’s just go out and smash it today. Yep. [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] All right, guys. Bring it up to speed. You swing off to the left. Now you swing off to the left and Yonas takes the inside corner. Wide corner. You can take it full. Well done, Victor. Good job. Speed up. Come on, guys. We have to do it. Come on. Visma a couple of seconds down, but still in the fight. Perhaps planning to hit hard in the final part of the course. Come on, boys. Keep on pushing. Keep on pushing. Go, go, go, go, go. And fight to the finish. Fight to the finish. Fight to the finish. The Dutch squad did well to finally limit their losses to just 8 seconds on the line, second behind UAE. [Applause] corner clock. Good job, guys. Good job. With eight, we would have won. Yeah, somehow we [ __ ] up the middle part, but the last part was [ __ ] fast. Man, you lost 12 seconds. The last part we like. Yeah, but I had the feeling first we went was quite easy in the wheel. I had a feeling we were first we were 3 seconds the second we were second at a little bit. Maybe the timing is wrong. possible but somehow in that like from the first to the second point we’re not going there and I mean but to be honest we had a lot left in the end as well so fast 20 yeah they are 16 behind 27 seconds we took on we took on in the last 7k but I think we could own it way was going really good, you know. Yeah. But for me it was I had the feeling that it was too easy in the wheel that I was like half freewheing, you know, has to hurt in the wheels as well. Exactly. Yeah. If you have the feeling that it’s going okay Yeah. then it’s not fast enough. Exactly. That’s the thing that you really need to suffer in the wheel as well. Yeah. I think it’s more that we could have just went a little bit faster in the middle part. Yeah. But yeah, I mean I think everyone also did everything they could. So of course we and we’re still second. Yeah, of course. We have to Yeah, this is only 8 seconds, but yeah, then it’s also it makes it hard that it’s that close. Yeah, a little but yeah, I think also in general we have to be happy. Yeah, exactly. The day before the rest day, always a day that everybody is really motivated to go for the break. So prepare yourself for a long break jumping phase. And also when everything is together and a right foot stage win, when you feel really well, you give the call. Yeah, 4 and 1/2 hours concentration before the rest day. And also guys, it’s really Yeah, we are here of course to win the Walt for now. We’ve we’ve been riding very defensively, but also our time will come the next weeks. So, yeah, we just have to be patient for one more day and then then we’ll go for it next week. Rest openers on the rest day. Good luck, guys. Okay. [Applause] Somebody else would like to be launched. A big move from Vizmissa bike attacking as a trio. Jorgensson launching the Dup Valdes Karay with Jonei on the wheel. You’re alone now. Come on, Aonas. Come on. You’re suffering and come on. Show who’s the boss. But the Italians soon lost contact. 14 seconds. on four. Come on, Yonas. Keep going. Keep pushing. Keep pushing. [Applause] [Music] Vingo preparing to celebrate a superb solo win. And enjoy. You show the bus. Yes. Yes. [Music] I think you’re 100% sure. [Music] I felt uh super great today and then uh yeah on the last climb I also felt really good and then I said to my team that if they could speed up and uh yeah they did and then I tried but it was amazing teamwork and super happy that yeah that I could finish it off and Couldn’t do it without them. What? What? I have to uh breathe in like I said there are not many cars but still they are blocking the road because they take out down the 1 kilometer b already. Yeah. So they just want to flick us a little bit. I really didn’t do my homework good enough today. What did you think? You just I thought the last climb was 9K. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was it was 9K 9K climbing and 3 and 1/2K flattish. Like really? I was like now for sure it’s like 7k to the finish when I attack. [Music] [Applause] [Music] No, if it’s not needed, we maybe need more. But um I’m no expert. I can’t even figure out how to [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Good speech. Speech. Yeah. Yeah. We uh it’s the end of um the first week of the of the welter. It’s been a good week so far. We’ve had uh now two stage wins. today. Uh yeah, another one a bit unexpected uh obviously, but uh yeah, sometimes you need to to feel the moment and and yeah, take advantage of of the legs and today I felt great and yeah, I told you guys and uh you were up for doing a a lead out for me. You were even fighting for for doing it. So yeah, thanks uh thanks to all of you and uh yeah, was a pleasure the first week and uh thank you to to all of you as well. It’s really uh yeah, so far it’s been really nice having all of you here and hopefully we make the second and the third week even better. So cheers. [Applause] [Music] uh some uh small recap of last week for riding defensively. It’s going pretty well, I would say. Yeah, being able to win two stages is far more than than I actually expected at this moment. So yeah, I think uh obviously yesterday wasn’t the plan, but then sometimes you also need to feel the legs and if you feel good, then you need to take the moment and yeah, that surprised us a bit, but surprised definitely also all our opponents. Was a was a really really good call in the end and and yeah, that’s of course also what it’s about. We plan a lot. We have we have very good plans how to do it, where to attack, but in the end you need to have the legs. Sometimes maybe you don’t have them but if you have them also profit from that and also yeah to ride defensively was also more to save the team and I think that went well well. Yeah stage 11 that is the first stage we actually put across. So from there on we’re going to grab the race by bolts. [Music] tactic of today. As we said before, we really go for the stage, but it’s really important that everybody is on the ship for this first part. So, we showed the the breakaway guys that this is not for today. Okay. And one remark, there are protests here, of course, and they expect a very big protest on the first line. I mean, just because there’s a protest on the road, I mean, doesn’t need to be neutralize the whole stage or cancel the whole stage. I mean, they’re saying it’s it’s if that happens, then it’s dangerous and going to happen again or whatever. And I think that’s the risk in general of us running the stage. We have a plan. We concentrate on the race. We cannot influence what what happens outside of the race, but don’t worry about that. We go for the stage. What are you doing? You won two stitches. Why didn’t you make the race? [Music] [Applause] We have a very good team for states like this. So, uh yeah, we hope we can uh get Yeah, how do you say manage to do it? [Applause] Stage 11 is underway at Love Welter 2025. It’s not just the points they’re after. This is about trying to force their way into a breakaway. But Vizma Lisa Pike weren’t in the mood to let a big group go up the road, shutting down lots of early attacks, and the pace was too hot for some. Vingergar clearly wasn’t bluffing when he said he fancied winning today. Visma Lisa Bike keeping the three leaders on a very tight leash and not letting anybody else join the move. Vizma still controlling the pelatin as they approach the Vivie for the second time. Good job, boys. And this is super class car boysh we ride for winning this stage keep going like this and due to some incidents over the finish line the organization and the commissers panel have decided to take the time at the 3 km to go marker there would be no winner for the 11th stage of lava then it would be neutralized at 3 km to go for safety reasons. The racing was still on though as they prepared to tackle the final climb, the Alto de Pique or Tom Pitcock unleashing a massive attack with even Vingar struggling to hold the wheel. There’s still the GC time to the 3 km mark. Come on, you push on. You can catch Pitco. Yeah. [Music] and work with Pitcock and you gain time later. [Music] I just said I only questions. Well, you always saw when you passed the first time and after after you passed, you really been down the barriers. Yeah. Yeah. It’s my son’s birthday. He’s he’s one year old today. So, I wanted to win for him, but uh yeah, and we worked all day for it and then to not get the chance is obviously a bit uh yeah, big bit big shame. I think uh I’m sure the team did super super well today and we already in the start. I think it’s really impressive on a day that everybody wants to be in the break that they can manage to only get three guys up the road. Uh, I think that says it all. I think in the end we had a super super strong team and I gain some time on the and you gain some time on Palmet and I think he’s the biggest opponent because on the longer climbs he’s better than Pit Gard, of course. Yeah. So, how many seconds? Like 10 seconds on top. I think 10 plus four normally because he got he got two seconds on top, I think. And I’m not so sure if he was in no game, but I still call it. I was first at the 3K battle. So if there’s 41 then victory 41. Yes, I saw it. I saw it on television. You were you I should have celebrated really big day coming up towards Anglu. a long stage two to 2.7 4,000 elic meters and the goal is really clear. We want to win this stage. The stage and perhaps even Lavta would be decided on Anglleroo as Gal Pelletsari and Pitcock all fell away from the red jersey group. 40 seconds on the solo leader jungles. And by the time they caught up to jungles, there were only four of them left and four would soon become two with Almeida and Vingagar pulling away and preparing for a mano ammano on the anglleroo. You’re alone now. Are you honest with Almeida? Sebi said you’re in the wheel of Hindi. Really strong. Come on. [Applause] [Music] Good job, Yonas. Good job. Yeah, sorry [Music] to look a little white in his face. I’m very sad that it’s not going uh um my role in at this moment is not 100% working as a as it should. Maybe there’s a miraculous 12 hours coming up. Uh otherwise make a good plan. I think yes. something to add from the last uh the last week. We did good. I think we we rode super strong. I mean Dylan and Wilco on the front every day hurting everyone and we went for it on the angu but I didn’t have the legs and yeah hopefully I feel better in in the coming week but yeah for sure anyway we’re in a good spot in GC it’s the most important they have to make up time on you [Music] 17 yes mountain top finish um big climb. That’s a the day that we go for the stage win. Especially you just really motivated to go for it and uh to fight for the stage and then we will launch uh another attempt of the Apollo 25. And how is the plan for that? Like straight sprinting from the bottom or do you want to do like more like 5 minute pace and then I can I think that’s up to you. Yeah. I can decide something from the car, but to me also I’m happy to sprint from the bottom, but it’s really up to you. Thinking like if I have to then keep going for another 25 minutes, it’s Yeah, but if you don’t want your eye on the wheel, then we sprint from the bottom. Stage 17 towards Alto El Morado 143. Short stage team presentation 1316. The goal of the day, win this stage and gain time on on NA. This didn’t look like a breakaway day. Visma Lisa bikes setting a high tempo in the bunch for Vingagar with the gap never really exceeding 2 minutes. They finally made their way onto El Morero with just under 9K remaining and the relentless pace was starting to sting the legs. Bisma back on the front and cutting the pelin down to a group of favorites. Almeida was struggling to hold the wheel at times with Vingar also not looking at his very best. Julia Peladari. Attack now of Tom Pitcock. He jumps away. Wenger tries to go with him. So does Hindley. Pitcock fires to the top of the mountain as well. He’s second. Hindley takes third behind them. Fangard. Dennis Sha. [Music] Good job. I think you did a smart race for sure. Yeah, didn’t feel good. Yeah, in the end it is what it is. Jonas took a few seconds on Jan and then we have to call it a good day. Yeah, hopefully I can do a good time trial tomorrow and uh it’s a flat time trial. Uh and yeah, we’ll uh we’ll see. Um hopefully I can uh I can do well tomorrow. Yeah. And then that’s just And better here, better stay in kind of the middle of the road. Yeah, I think so. So, for me on the way out, you stay on the middle of the road, but just on the right side of the white line. Okay. Because that’s like where it’s the most smooth. Yeah. Yeah. You notice a lot of difference between the smoothness of the road. There was like it it was also smooth a bit on the left, but it was like more bumpy. If you’re like here and you’re at let’s say 65 rather than 64 km an hour like immediately you’re on the brakes anyway so you lose the speed. Yeah. So I think you accelerate hard. Yeah. Then you keep the speed but you don’t need to like go mad on it. You take these corners. Yeah. These are okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. You don’t need to break. And then this one maybe break a little bit but the left the left is uh because also it looks so the road surface looks so slick that uh Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I think you’re right. Yeah. And then you can Yeah. If you feel really good when you come across the bridge, you can start to push a little bit more. Yeah. Yeah. And then you recover and then here you just do that’s a bit the same as like don’t kill yourself. And then same with this one. If you feel super then from here you go. Yeah. Then you can start to come after this corner. Yeah. You almost get up to speed. Find a good rhythm. You know it. Turn slightly to the right here. First corner in 300. really really good. Just arrow and push it and push it. 7 and 1 halfk to go. It’s just about being arrow and pushing the numbers. The red jersey is going to arrive. Yonasard. The time of Almeida is 1308. Let’s see how much time he’s going to ship to Xiao Almeida cuz he is going to lose some time, but it’s only going to be a few seconds. Really good job, Yonas. You lost I think 8 seconds to mate. Really, really good. Thank you, man. See you tomorrow. Thank you. Ciao, man. [Music] Guys, there we go. [Applause] And I think it’s the best flat TV I’ve done for uh for a long time. For a long time. Yeah. Yeah. But be proud. Be proud of yourself. Really good. We’re going 60. I mean, then Ghana got us 65. But it’s Yeah. But even I mean I saved something for the way home, but then still Oh, with 1k to go. Oh no. Still okay. I know. I was happy there was so many roundabouts because then I could just slow down a little bit and then [Music] [Music] stage 20 already towards Bola Mundo above 4,000 altitude meters. One goal. Bring this jersey home. We fought uh three weeks for it. So uh we go for it. He was not able to drop you for three weeks long. So also not today. Yeah. And really I mean you guys are the strongest team here. We have the best rider. We have the right jersey. Full focus today. And then we bring it home. Amos. [Music] Heat. Heat. 3k 12% average from now on. Motorbike behind you. A select group of five in the front. Vigor, Armea, Cous, Hinley, Anton Pitcock. You’re now with five still. See is with you. Really good. Aonas. Really good. The attack of the red jersey. Vangard. Well, everyone’s thinking he’s sick. Wenger now starts the move. The red jersey wants the triumph at the top of this final climb at Bola Deondo. And Wengerard now starts his assault to put himself firmly as the winner of Lavala. Yonas, you will win this stage, huh? You will win this stage. Incredible performance from Yonas Fingore across the last three weeks. And in particular, this final climb in a moment where he could ride defensively, he’s gone on the offensive and gone for stage glory. Jonas Fangard reaches the top of Bula Deondo, the winner of Lavala and he celebrates there in the red and white jersey. Oh man, congrats. Wow, what a victory. Oh man, heavy. Yes. Proud of you guys. Oh, this is brutal finish, man. Oh, it’s hard to go out of the saddle, man. I tried two times to go. Oh, two times and then both times my wheel slip. Nice.

So it’s not not 100% sure sure. Not 100% sure sure yet. So keep it a little bit but if if it’s on then we need as much public and audience from the teams of course as possible. and then we can have our own, you know, celebration kind of ceremony and I think it’s really cool.

  1. What a fantastic documentation of this grand tour. Visma is a true class act as a pro cycling team and every guy on the team should be proud. Just a great bunch…..all of you. Huge congrats to Jonas. Cheers

  2. I live nearby limone Piemonte where Jonas won
    And yeah, i still feel goosebumps for the fact that he rode (and won) in a climb i use to do ♥️

  3. Somehow, them organizing their impromptu victory ceremony was almost my favorite part. Shows how they teams can battle it out during the race, but celebrate together once they cross the finish line.

  4. Congrats, Visma Lease a Bike team! Amazing doc, it's interesting to see how things work behind the races. All the plannings and strategies, that's amazing! Hope to see more and more docs with huge victories like always! Greatings from Brazil!

  5. Thank you very much for making this documentary. Incredibly sad to see the protestors try to ruin a race I always look forward to, but so sweet to see JONAS finish in red. 🤩

  6. I just can't get over the 3 coolers and a sharpie. Someone was really thinking outside the box and I love it. It seems like a lot of us do. Thank you to whoever put the podium together for our boys.

  7. He may not quite be on Pogi’s level right now, but how awesome must it feel to rock up to a grand tour with Matteo, Victor, Sepp, Ben, and occasionally Wout and Simon? Talk about bringing an army to a battle.

  8. Thank you for this amazing documentary! It is really precious getting to see how the team planed for and reflected on the race.
    It also makes me emotional to see how much Jonas has grown as a rider & leader. Just rewatched the 2020 Vuelta documentary and, wow, what a difference 5 years has made in Jonas.
    How the podium was made possible at the end was an absolute gem.
    May I also ask if you have a playlist for the musics used in this documentary? You always pick the exact right music for each moment, and it would be lovely to listen to them and relive the Vuelta 2025.
