Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

I made the mistake of visiting the alternative universe that is the cyclingnews forum.
It’s all about apportioning blame there too.

Is there no such thing as a simple racing incident anymore?

Thanks ..good stuff .

Visma should go all out on that Cat 4 to see if they can drop some UAE domestiques

I'm sure they're going to make it hard but Pogs been waiting three years for this stage and a bit of revenge.... fancy him for this tomorrow ,😁

Finding TNTs coverage hard to follow. Last year I could turn Hatch off on the now unavailable ad free stream. Now we have to listen to his non stop high pitched hyperbole filled bollox for most of the race. Prentending that Van Der Poel had any chance of catching the leaders today with 700m to go was either gross stupidity or just trying to create false drama for the gullible. I go for the latter with that monstrosity of a commentator.

I honestly wasn't expecting all that much from tomorrow's stage, not with the TT the day after - but with Pog a bit bruised I think Visma will go a little harder, might even see Jonas attack....

Just saw the highlights, good stage. Always nice to see the break hold out for the win.
Hope Pog is ok, I thought his shoulder hit the kerb, but he was lucky it wasn't a lot worse.
Tomorrow should be interesting...

The only good thing about Hatch is that he isn't David Millar

If that 34C temp comes true, Visma should hammer the first ~38Km and then go again nearer the cat4, when it will be something like 1430 BST and approaching the hottest part of the day.

Vin IMO needs Pog isolated and in a sweaty mess before the Solour cat1... And Vin needs to be on top big mountain pace form!

Nah GC day....there's scores to be settled !
Anyway all the domestiques can use the TT on Friday as a rest day.

I was actually joking about the cat 4, given the 1,2 and HC climbs later in the stage, but now you mention it.....

The analysis on this forum seems to ignore that there's more stages to follow.
