PREVIEW | Vuelta a Burgos 2023 stage 4 - Chance for the breakaway on a hilly day
CyclingThursday, 17 August 2023 at 21:25
Preview stage 4. From the 15th to 19th of August the peloton takes on the Vuelta a Burgos. One of the many Spanish races at this time of the year and perhaps the most important preparation race ahead of the Vuelta a Espana.
A hilly day in the fourth stage of the race. A day for breakaway specialists to hunt, but for puncheurs to also test their sharpness. It's a day where massive watts can be expected at both it's start and end. The finale itself in Pradoluengo is 2 .1 kilometers long at 5.4%, not a climb to set differences between the GC favourites but we can expect them to be trying to capitalize on the difficult terrain the day has to offer.
Stage 4: Santa Gadea del Cid - Pradoluengo, 154.9 kilometers
Prediction Vuelta a Burgos 2023 stage 4:
*** Santiago Buitrago, Lennard Kämna
** Primoz Roglic, Oier Lazkano
* Aleksandr Vlasov, Javier Romo, Adam Yates, Luis León Sánchez, Gianluca Brambilla

- This is the problem child at UAE. He's like another Pidcock. He's a good rider but not the caliber of rider he thinks he is. He's already refused to work for Pogi because of his own ambitions and that's fine but go somewhere else and shine. He won't get the opportunities he wants at UAE and he's not a good fit but he can win races and that's what UAE is all about. The more wins the more they are the Pinnacle of the sport but it's getting a bit old to be honest. Something seems to be happening at UAE that isn't in line with the sports policies. Riders that are good riders suddenly become INCREDIBLE riders after joining UAE and riders that leave UAE stop producing all of a sudden. Do they not see how they are t helping themselves and how they are putting themselves in the spotlight for a REAL and SERIOUS talk and investigation into doping within the team?!
kaos02-05-2025 - I think you're reading it wrong. He is stating when titans collide - MSR, Flanders, PR - it is interesting. LBL less so.mij02-05-2025
- There are so many counterpoints, Bolt and Bubka were never boring, nobody complained about it either. Normal people also like to watch for reasons other than being surprised or pleased by results. Pro also stands for progress, none of these guys are aliens, they’re just ahead of their time but others catch up when they learn what made the difference. Besides, he doesn’t win as often or regularly as some in other sports, even team sports. And, he’s “easily” beaten when the course doesn’t suit him.Mistermaumau02-05-2025
- Even if ROGLIČ is there?Ride197402-05-2025
- "If someone else is better, then you help them." When? I've never seen him helping CONSISTENTLY a teammate. He runs in the back of the peloton, hidden, to avoid help (in UAE and in Spain team). If someone (Almeida, Adam) shouts and scolds him, then he goes ahead and pulls for few minutes/kms (simulation of help).
maria2024202402-05-2025 - I see a list of South Americans for this Giro again: Richard Carapaz, Daniel Martinez, Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana, etc.Ride197402-05-2025
- I'm sure Ayuso will win and big too, cept theirs always a nemesis in some way..

- When I play football (soccer) with friends, I know I'm not able to do what Messi does, even in his older age. When I play basketball with friends, I'm not Jason Tatum or that new college kid, Cooper Flagg. When one person wins nearly all the F1 races in a season, as happens so often, does that mean we've lost the magical closeness of Fangio to what driving on real roads used to be like? I expect to watch stellar athletes when I watch professional sports, and I know how hard they work to arrive at those skills and efforts. (My daughter was a semi-professional athlete, and now coaches. The training involved is unreal.) When I go for a ride through the local hills, I know I'm slow (I'm also past 50 by a chunk). My bike is slow, my legs are slow, I'm so much slower than I once was, and I love every moment of being out on 2 wheels. My enjoyment of the sport has nothing to do with how good the pros are. Any athlete treating this remotely like an amateur sport (in terms of weight training, nutrition, lack of altitude camps, and so on) will not succeed. Sky, then Jumbo Visma, then UAE, made the sport more precise, more focused, and harder to win. That's what the pro in professional means, doesn't it?RidesHills01-05-2025
- MSR no competition? From the Cipressa onward, that was the most amazing MSR finish I've ever watched! Same with Paris-Roubaix, which together with Flanders had the racing start much, much earlier than before. Perhaps by the finale things are decided, in some cases, but the racing has been incredible.RidesHills01-05-2025
