PREVIEW | Vuelta a Andalucia 2025 stage 5 - GC explosion on final key day of the race?
Cycling
From the 19th to the 23rd of February we have one of the most important Spanish stage-races of the season. This will be the Vuelta a Andalucia, taking place in a warm part of the country, always with a mix of explosive stages that traditionally attract the climbers and classics riders a lot. We preview stage 5.
The first half of the final stage is rather brutal, with a very long ascent right at the start of the day and then three other climbs where attacks can happen. A day with a flat finale in La Línea de la Concepción but the overall classification will be the main topic of the day with the start that the riders will have at hand.
Prediction Vuelta a Andalucia 2025 stage 5:
*** Anders Foldager, Ben Turner
** Marc Soler, Jordan Labrosse, Axel Laurance, Giovanni Aleotti
* Tim Wellens, Enric Mas, Tom Pidcock, Maxim van Gils, Thomas Silva, Markus Hoelgaard, Tobias Johannessen, Cesar Macias, Oliver Naesen, Andreas Leknessund, Connor Swift
Pick: Ben Turner
How: Breakaway win.

The stages in this race are no summit finishes like before that's why there is no big names to come. All hilly stages. Bored 😒

- Jonas won T-A last tear and wanted to do P-N this year. Jorgensen also wanted to do it, he declined every si gle opportunity to be a solo leader, eevry stage race Jonas doesn't do, Girovappaxbipmv16-03-2025
- I agree, he either needs a surprise attack in the final, win a sprint or just somehow overpower everyonevappaxbipmv16-03-2025
- Did old man Bruyneel make this point before Jonas crashed out?Renz16-03-2025
- Good win for Ayuso. He has appeared a bit inconsistent on mountain stages in the past; absolutely brilliant on some but then cracking on others.Cooldude16-03-2025
- A little caution is understandable. Just ask Roglic.Cooldude16-03-2025
- Jorgenson needs races to improve, he won Paris Nice last year, he should have been given open rein this year. He rode his guts out for Jonas last year, Jonas just needs to build form for the Tour. Give Matteo a race without a co captain.awp16-03-2025
- Exactly. Two leaders of this caliber at the same race makes no sense.Pedalmasher16-03-2025
