Felix Gall fights into the top ten at the mountain sprint to the Vuelta!
On August 24, 2025, the second stage of this year's Vuelta a España took place, which led from Alba to Limone Piemonte. On this route, the East Tyrolean cyclist Felix Gall was able to draw attention to itself with a solid sixth place. Gall's combative appearance showed his determination to return after a long break and to establish itself in the overall ranking. According to dolomitenstadt.at it was the first test in this vuelta for Gall, and although he was not yet completely fit, his performance indicated a promising start.
The stage victory secured the Danish top favorite Jonas Vingegaard, who with his teammate supported support on the final 600 meters in the uphill sprint against the Italian Giulio Ciccone and the Frenchman David Gaudu. This victory was not only a return to the form for Vingegaard, but also his first appearance as the bearer of the red leader jersey after two stages. According to [Radsportaktuell.de] (https://radsportaktuell.de/radsport/Update-der- overall rating-der-vuelta-a-2025-EPAPPE-2-JONAS-VINGAARD-BUFT-TIBERI-TIBERI-LUSS-ZEIT), this success brings him a small time uphill to his main competitor.
Fall and setbacks
Although Vingegaard fell in the last hour of race, he was unharmed and was able to successfully end the race. His team demonstrated strength by consistently controlling the final climb and neutralized late attacks. Vingegaard is now at the top in the overall ranking, while Jasper Philipsen, who previously wore the red jersey, fell back. However, the fall and the associated challenges do not reduce the positive prospects for Vingegaard, which now ranks one of the overall ranking, followed by Giulio Ciccone and David Gaudu.
For Felix Gall, the situation is a little different. After a long break, Gall still has uncertainties regarding his fitness. In his own words, he expressed that after this stage he can severely assess his form, but is optimistic about his achievements.
Outlook for the next stages
The next stage, which leads from San Maurizio Canavese to Ceres over a distance of 134.6 kilometers on Monday, will be a challenge for the sprinter due to its wavy terrain. "It could be difficult to stay in the main field," emphasized Gall, which underlines the drama and unpredictability of the next few days. The Vuelta a España 2025 will last until September 14th and has many exciting sections that lead through Italy, France and Andorra before ending in Madrid.
After this strong start, Jonas Vingegaard is one of the main favorites for overall victory this year. In addition to him, other names such as João Almeida and Juan Ayuso also come into focus. Interestingly, the sprinters are also hunting for points, with Mads Pedersen's favorite for the points.
The Vuelta a España 2025 still promises a lot of tension and can give the viewers some surprising twists. In the upcoming stages, the real balance of power among the drivers will certainly cry out even more clearly.
