The Official Lanterne Rouge Thread 2025 [spoilers]

Here on the rest day, I think it's probably a good point to take a minute to reflect on the position and time gaps here.

pfft. I tuned in for a highlights package.

I think this thread is a great contribution to the sport

It is terrible that the main channels spend so little time concentrating on the jerseys pooteling along at the front
and totally fail to focus on the great efforts made at the back to convince the DS's that they really can't do any more today

Thanks to all for keeping this Great Race alive and - well not kicking- rather sauntering along peacefully

I believe that was covered by the bikini bottoms yesterday

I only understand one-post-in-five on this thread. (on a good day).

Imagine the danger we'd be in if I stopped doing this and actually went outside though

That's my natural colour, not highlights at all.

Here on the rest day, I think it's probably a good point to take a minute to reflect on the position and time gaps here.
We have no fewer than six contenders within 5 minutes of the bottom spot, and the bottom ten are all within 10 and half minutes or so, the bottom twenty inside 15ish minutes.

This is unprecedentedly close. By this point we would normally expect to see ten minutes separating the bottom four or five, and often even between last and second last. This might not be settled until Paris.

One for the ages

Oh no; we've lost Pross. He's got the dreaded Hatch syndrome.
