Movistar rider narrowly hangs onto victory ahead of chaser Julius Johansen in second as Marc Soler finishes third and takes the overall lead Iván García Cortina (Movistar) secured the stage 2 victory at Vuelta Asturias crossing the finish line by a whisker ahead of runner-up Julius Johansen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in Pola de Lena The pair were part of an original breakaway but Cortina attacked with seven kilometres to go and held off Johansen to take the day's win Johansen's UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammate Marc Soler was the lone chaser behind the pair in the closing kilometres but his third-place finish meant that he moved into the overall race lead The second stage of the Vuelta Asturias was a 144.3km race from Benia de Onís to Pola de Lena but four were positioned in the last 60 kilometres of the stage before a descent and a short run-in to the finish line Five riders emerged in an early breakaway that included Johansen and My Velo Pro Cycling teammates Jakob Schmidt and Jan Sommer The breakaway extended its lead on the main peloton to more than 10 minutes at the 60km mark but that gap began to drop as the race hit the more mountainous second half of the race By the time they reached the third-to-last climb of the day The breakaway riders began to split apart on the ascents with Johansen and Cortina opening a gap on their companions As the remnants of the breakaway were reabsorbed into the field Soler launched his attack with 20km to go in pursuit of the two leaders on the road Cortina made his winning move and opened a small gap on Johansen holding onto a one-second lead as he crossed the line with the victory Results powered by FirstCycling Kirsten has a background in Kinesiology and Health Science She has been involved in cycling from the community and grassroots level to professional cycling's biggest races She began her sports journalism career with Cyclingnews as a North American Correspondent in 2006 Kirsten became Women's Editor – overseeing the content strategy race coverage and growth of women's professional cycling – before becoming Deputy Editor in 2023 you will then be prompted to enter your display name Ridgefield, CT HamletHub invites you to contribute stories, events, and more to keep your neighbors informed and connected.

Copyright ©2025 HamletHub™ Dissociative identity disorder is a cerebral defense mechanism that forms during childhood when we are subject to long-lasting recurring trauma our brain forms separate identities to protect us It is like sharing your body with other people simply swapping the body and having different minds then also thanks to meetings at Zoom and in real life One day Lena said: “I would like to see all of us together in one photo.” We had to start by externalizing all these People Lena and the People in her System were closed-off at that time and they couldn’t step in front of my camera We decided that my good friend – an excellent actress of the young generation – Anna Próchniak We planned the photoshoot to take place in my home studio I was creating the People of the System upon Lena’s descriptions and directions graphic personification as well as acting incarnations of Anna Próchniak we created the first version of the People of Lena’s System Lena decided that she wanted to participate in the whole process herself The costume is one of the elements that create the identity so it was very important that the People of the System would fully accept how they looked I watched the makeup process through the eye of my camera I show fragments of the makeup process and the moments when Lena (or People of the System) sees themselves for the first time Some of the People never make their presence visible so we relied on Lena’s feedback: it’s ok / I need a shorter fringe / I need a different skirt / it’s wonderful Who felt best in their skin – we can see that I obtained portraits of People as close as possible to the way they see themselves Anna did a tremendous job embodying the People from the System I thought it was important to confront these two stages to not shorten the process to only the final outcome The creation of the group picture was an important stage the protagonist of my project recalls: “I was able to show this picture to my dad and say: look This is what it looks like in my head.” She also says that participation in the project helped her accept the diagnosis it had been only for six months that Lena knew she had DID At the moment when we started cooperation and I didn’t know yet whether my actions would be therapeutic The main assumption related to ethical doubts was: “first do no harm” and that is why we preceded the start of the project with consultations with professionals One of them does not have an anthropomorphic superficiality They have not appeared in the System for a long time Some people with DID have a suicidal identity in the System I realized how delicate and difficult the topic I decided to talk about was She said that when she feels this alter is close Mała (The Little One) / ‚ma.wa/ She is adorable and likes what many children of her age do: sweets and toys She often takes over when the System experiences stressful situations She can also be “called out” when Lena is being addressed in an excessively sweet tone Ella is the alter with the greatest manual skills in the System Lena’s house is decorated with watercolors and sketches made by Ella He has a strong need to emphasize his individuality She has a higher voice than Lena and is a very confident 19-year-old She protects the System by asking many questions – she needed to know in detail what prompted me to explore the topic of DID Pola is an alter that accumulates experiences related to one of the traumas experienced by the System Edek is a 25-year-old bodyguard of the System She has recently started to have flashes that may reveal more details related to Baby but at the moment this is information that the System is trying to verify this is the only alter known by System that doesn’t have an anthropomorphic superficiality He revealed himself while Lena and I were building our relationship Gray is an alter that was present in the past Lena ("I have 13 identities and none of them likes you") The project represents an unprecedented advance in the connection of Asturias with the plateau: it will reduce the journey time for passengers between the Principality and Madrid by more than an hour and will allow an increase of up to 15% in freight train loads accompanied His Majesty the King at the inauguration of the Pajares bypass of the León-Asturias section of the Madrid-Castilla y León-Asturias high-speed railway line a public commitment that "contributes to sewing Spain together with the thread of shared prosperity" and deepens the commitment of the Executive to bring high-speed trains to the whole of Spain Asturias has a path of solutions to revert the unfair railway isolation and to face the great challenges ahead of us with new assets" stressed the head of the Executive at Oviedo station after completing the inaugural journey of the Madrid-Castilla y Leon-Asturias high-speed train together with His Majesty the King and the Minister for Transport and Sustainable Mobility The opening of the new 50-kilometre line between La Robla and Pola de Lena is the culmination of a four-billion-euro investment in one of the largest engineering works in Europe and the world: 80% of its route runs through tunnels and the Pajares tunnel is the seventh longest railway tunnel in Europe The project is an unprecedented advance that will reduce the journey time for passengers between Asturias and Madrid by more than an hour and will allow freight trains to increase their load by up to 15% and be longer "Asturias and Castilla y León are now open to new investments and opportunities the geological barriers that separate Asturias from the rest of the peninsula are less imposing It is an outstretched hand to unite the territories of a country proud of its diversity" The president of the Government of Spain has highlighted the transforming power of this milestone which reinforces Spain's leading position in railway matters Spain's more than 4,000 kilometres of high-speed rail make the national network the most extensive in Europe and the second in the world "This project will bring even more excellence and recognition to Spanish companies in this field which are already highly thought of internationally," he said Sánchez has highlighted the Government's strategic commitment to the arrival of high-speed rail throughout Spain in order to consolidate the structuring of the national territory and to contribute - in line with the objectives of sustainability innovation and intelligent mobility - to the green and digital reindustrialisation of the country There is a portfolio of more than 9 billion euros underway to deploy high-speed lines in other territories such as Cantabria Navarre and Extremadura; and to continue progress in the Mediterranean and Atlantic corridors; strategic commitments that will make a decisive contribution to the structure our territory and make it more competitive" King Felipe VI and the President of the Government of Spain during the journey of the inaugural High Speed train to Oviedo | Pool Moncloa/Borja Puig de la Bellacasa This opening is preceded by one of the most complex engineering works in Europe and the world More than 5,000 professionals worked at the same time on a project characterised by the technical complexity derived from the geotechnical characteristics of the massif it crosses and the need to combine high-speed and freight traffic on the same line 12 tunnels and 10 viaducts form part of this 50-kilometre stretch between La Robla and Pola de Lena built with maximum integration and respect for the infrastructure with the natural environment and biodiversity Renfe has already sold more than 70,000 tickets with a forecast of 1.25 million passengers in its first year The new services for passengers reduce the connection between Madrid and Asturias by more than an hour will be able to carry up to 15% more freight and be longer President Sánchez has valued the importance of the investment coming from Europe to expand high-speed rail in Spain "We have the boost of the Recovery Plan funds a unique opportunity to position Spain as a benchmark in renewable energies and green hydrogen the agri-food sector or the cutting-edge health sector," he stressed with the driver during the journey of the inaugural High Speed train to Oviedo (Pool Moncloa/Borja Puig de la Bellacasa)

it also plans to launch a low-cost Avlo service between Gijón and the capital Prime Minister Sánchez said that the Asturias region had ‘reversed previous railway isolation’ with the new high capacity ‘Asturias and Castilla y León are opened to new investments and opportunities’ There is a portfolio of more than €9bn in progress to deploy high speed lines in other territories such as Cantabria Navarra and Extremadura; and to continue advancing in the Mediterranean and Atlantic corridors strategic bets that will contribute decisively to structuring our territory and making it more competitive.’ President of the Asturias regional authority Adrián Barbón insisted that ‘as of today Asturias is closer to believing that it has more of a future than a past The opening of the Pajares is the breaking down of a psychological barrier the principality will begin the decade of change with a hunger for the future.’ The region is pinning its hopes on a major spike in tourism with the local government expecting the number of visitors using rail to reach Asturias to grow from the present 260 000 per annum to more than 600 000 the cut-off has been subject to many delays in design and construction partly resulting from changes to project scope and tweaks to the government’s policy on the development of new lines One of the bores of the base tunnel has broad gauge track laid on sleepers that can be modified to carry 1 435 mm gauge track in future The result is a railway that is operationally highly complex not least because of the mix of standard and 1 668 mm gauge track that has been used While most of the railways in the region use broad gauge Spanish policy has generally favoured 1 435 mm gauge for high speed lines it became clear over the course of the Pajares project that building an entirely new network in Asturias is unlikely to be viable in the foreseeable future and that in any case the base tunnel route would also need to be used by freight gauge-changing stations are located at León and Campomanes close to the northern portal of the tunnel and the tunnel itself has one broad-gauge bore and one dual-gauge running line The broad-gauge line is laid on sleepers which can be converted to 1 435 mm gauge in the future Similar complexity applies to the electrification The cut-off is energised at 25 kV 50 Hz to match the 1 435 mm gauge high speed line between León and Madrid But the sections of route either side of the mountain range are still wired at the legacy 3 kV DC This means that a passenger operator seeking to use the route to Asturias north of Pola de Lena needs to have a fleet of variable-gauge multi-system trainsets to run; only RENFE’s fleet meets this requirement at present operators also need multi-system electric locos to avoid resorting to diesel traction Opening of the Variante has raised doubts over the future of the legacy line over the Rampa de Pajares even if this would be of considerable use to private operators or new entrants lacking multi-system rolling stock The transport ministry has suggested that maintaining the old line could require expenditure of around €700m in the next 15 years The line at present has numerous temporary speed restrictions and there are frequent failures caused by life-expired electrification equipment The legacy route over the Pajares pass faces an uncertain future ALSA Rail operated a charter train between Gijón and Villamanín hauled by a Class 269 electric loco on which almost all of the 260 seats were sold Passengers were a mix of railway enthusiasts and local people prompting the private operator to assess the potential for tourist travel in the summer season in future ALSA Rail has a maintenance base in Asturias and retaining a 1 668 mm gauge link to the south with DC electrification would be operationally beneficial Disruption to other base tunnel corridors in Europe this year has also highlighted the importance of redundancy in national and international rail networks At the start of work on the Pajares project in 2004 the government had firm plans to extend the high speed network further north to Gijón with a view to cutting the travel time between the city and Madrid even further to around 2 h 30 min Opening of the new line has cut the journey time from Asturias to Madrid by around an hour questions were raised over subsequent years about the optimal route for the extension particularly because the initial proposals avoided the centre of Oviedo and included a station on the eastern edge of Gijón SPAIN: ALSA Rail has put into service to the first of four Stadler Euro6000 multi-system electric locos being leased from Alpha Trains for use on freight services to and from Asturias SPAIN: High speed rail infrastructure manager ADIF Alta Velocidad has awarded Vías y Construcciones a €40m civil works contract for the construction of a chord at Olmedo to enable through running between the Galicia and Asturias/Burgos high speed lines SPAIN: Infrastructure manager ADIF Alta Velocidad has enlarged the 558 m Gaintxurizketa tunnel between Errenteria and Irun as part of a project to provide a dual gauge link between the French border and the start of the future ‘Basque Y’ 1 435 mm gauge high speed ..

In a repeat of the opening day's results UAE Team Emirates-XRG finished second and third on stage 2 of the Vuelta Asturias with third-placed Marc Soler leaving the rest of the peloton behind and riding into the race leader's jersey the day's stage was decided between the two final survivors of the breakaway Soler's teammate Julius Johansen and Movistar's Ivan Garcia Cortina.The pair went hammer and tongue through the final 20 kilometres but ultimately came through the flamme rouge together before Cortina got the better of the Dane in the sprint to the line Johansen secured his best result since signing for UAE Team Emirates-XRG over the winter his teammates Antonio Morgado and Adri Pericas finished sixth and seventh with the latter moving up to fourth place overall heading into Saturday.Earlier in the day UAE Team Emirates-XRG had shifted their game plan from the opening day with the ever-reliable Johansen given the green light to enter the breakaway Using his power and tenacity to secure his spot the 25-year-old found himself joined out front by Cortina Iker Gomez (Equipo Finisher-Kern Pharma) and Jakob Schmidt (MYVELO Pro Cycling) the break developed a handy advantage and despite their partnership breaking down as the strongest riders emerged their gap was such that the peloton never looked likely to contest the stage honours Soler got to work at attacking the race lead of Steff Cras (Team TotalEnergies) behind with the Belgian rider crashing out of the race and placing Soler into the provisional lead out on the road Soler's eyes turned to distancing the rest of his rivals with UAE Team Emirates-XRG going on the offensive as a unit Soler and Pericas all distanced the rest of the peloton on the steep slopes of the Alto de la Colladiella Taking an advantage over the top of the category 1 climb the 31-year-old pressed on and only stretched his gap on the descent Pericas and Morgado continued to mark the moves behind as Johansen engaged in a to-and-fro contest with Cortina out front.In the final 20km both Johansen and Cortina attempted to shake free of one another but no solo attack made it stick before the finish in Pola de Lena with Soler crossing the line 41 seconds back The Spaniard now takes a lead of 1:51 heading into stage 3 with UAE Team Emirates-XRG also holding the points jersey (through Soler) and the lead of the teams classification the task ahead is now to retain the race lead through to the end Soler said: "A break of six went from the beginning with Johansen in there for us A few teams started chasing hard and on the descent of the first climb and it started raining hard which complicated the race There were several splits in the bunch and on the Cat.1 climb I went away solo "Julius was in the front covering Cortina and I was behind He managed a good second place and I was third and took the leaders jersey Steff Crass crashed on one of the wet descents which was a pity as it's not the way you want to inherit a race lead "The goal now will be to keep the lead and try with Morgado and Covi tomorrow for the stage."Vuelta Asturias stage 2 results:1 Julius Johansen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) +1"3 Vuelta Asturias general classification after stage 2:1 Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) 7:50:572 Hugo de la Calle (Burgos Burpellet BH) +1:513 Samuel Fernandez (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) +1:534 Adri Pericas (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) +3:12 Copyright © 1998-2025 Big News Network All rights reserved.
