Despite being in the middle of the summer, storms cut down first Andorra MoraBanc Clàssica edition
CyclingSunday, 22 June 2025 at 10:51
The Andorra Morabanc Clàssica has it's first edition this Sunday afternoon but, despite being placed in the middle of summer by it's organizers, the race is still being significantly cut due to the bad weather emerging in the Pyrenees.
The distance of the race will be reduced from 145 km to 114.7 km. The finish will also be one hour earlier as a result. In the new official route, the gravel section of Engolasters and the ascent to the Coll de Beixalis have been eliminated. Therefore, after passing the Coll de la Comella, the race will reach the final ascent to the Coll de la Botella.
At the startline will be strong climbers (some of them actively preparing for the Tour de France) such as Enric Mas, Mattias Skjelmose, Tom Pidcock, and Giro d'Italia stage winner Carlos Verona.

- Jonas is the 2nd best GC rider in the world who is the only one who can beat the best rider. He has enough clout to negotiate with his team or any other team. He can break his contract if needed. His wife doesn't need to fight in the media for him. His wife may harbour some resentment but that is between Jonas and his wife. All this was designed to create the maximum effect by the mediaabstractengineer08-07-2025

- I dislike seeing crashes in road cycling, especially in the Pro Tour, where they pose significant dangers. At this elite level, crashes are frequent and often happen in an instant. That said, Jasper Philipsen consistently stands out as the most dangerous sprinter in every Tour he races. While I’m not pleased to see him crash out of the Tour, he’s well aware of the inherent risks of the sport, and honestly, you could arguably say he had it coming.awp08-07-2025

- Nice article. Interesting to read about how it all goes at the Tour de France.
DareDevil08-07-2025 - Wait, a teammate of one of the most reckless sprinters who cannot sprint in a straight line is upset with another sprinter? That is rich. Que up some of Jasper's sprints from '23 and you will find he purposely crosses lines and he did on stage one blocking Biniam Girmay into the barriers. Either way, it was not Coquard's sprinting, but his collision with another rider that sent him into the path of Phillipsen. Alpecin whining about recklessness is like the bully crying when someone punched him back.ericsimsjr07-07-2025

- should mvdp start leading out groves on the few sprint stages left (as he attempted to today) or should he try to score at least SOME of those sprint points for himself in pursuit of the GREEN JERSEY? realistically groves has no chance to take green home, but mathieu does.OCexile07-07-2025
