Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[Animo]

Kuss was on the R5. Didn't even bother with the aero road bike.

When remco gave an interview at the presentation saying he was hoping for third (or words to that effect) it was obvious he knew he wasnt right this year...

Thankfully I don't think it's that deep.

The locals told me it meant bad way

No, no they said, "Gosh he looks I'm a bad way"

😜

Not really. The game has moved on for all the top guys.

They are also subject to a barrage of tests these days, too.

Tbh. I find it clichéd and depressing when someone fires this sort of under the radar accusation at top athletes in any sport without any proof.

Well in sure they said similar in LA era.

What's the score with Mo and

David Walsh did say similar during the LA era, in fact, quite a few journalists did but LA just used his wealth to bully people. Show me your proof regarding Pog

So having now read this on Wikipedia I'm a little less red-faced:




Also, I will never trust anything @mididoctors says again.

I'm calling bullshit on this Gascon translation as Gascon language is a Latin almost Spanish based .

 

[mididoctors]

In Gascon, the word "tur" translates to "there" in English. It's an adverb indicating a place, similar to how "there" is used in English.

Translate from "Normal language" into Gascon? Errrr..... Normal?

 

[mididoctors]

In Gascon, the word "mal" translates to bad or badly in English, according to Wiktionary. It can also mean "ill". The word "mal" is similar to its French cognate and is used in various contexts to indicate something negative, incorrect, or unwell. For example, in the place name "Tourmalet," "mal" signifies "mountain" not "bad," when combined with "tour" meaning "distance".

This is a AI nonsense. That contradicts itself

Yeah, I followed the citation. I suspect we need a native Gascon speaker, or failing that a cunning linguist

 

[mididoctors]

AI again writing wiki... The Gascon word for distance is "distància". Gascon is a dialect of Occitan, and "distància" is also the Occitan word for distance.

 

[mididoctors]

I believe the locals more than AI or that article

Bit off topic that

It's tur-ma-lait = there's my milk.
