Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[No Ta Doctor]

Good point: after his previous Tour wins, you couldn't get JV off the chat shows and red carpets. I think he bought every bus in Denmark and had it painted yellow.
Every post-stage press conference over-ran, they just couldn't shut him up; tennis fans were leaving Eurosport in droves due to the schedule disruption.

This is absolutely true:

Even the "Harbour Bus"!:

Except Pog didn't do any chasing. The break went with VLAB's best domestique of this tour, and their best domestique of the last 4 tours.
It sounds as if you expect Pog to have sat at the side of the road and waited for Jonas to catch up.

You don't normally write shite, but you seem to be put out that Denmark's star GC rider hasn't been able to keep with Pogi so far.

Except that Pog personally closed Jorgenson.

And yes, why not sit up and let the riders he was with get away? Nobody there was a threat to him. He sits up then that's the break.

He's within his rights to be there, he's within his rights to close Jorgenson, he's within his rights to help Wellens get away and Wellens is within his rights to wheelsuck until he attacks and wins. That's cycling. But damned if I'm going to sit by and watch him get handed the gold star teachers pet goody-goody nice boy award while he's doing it.

Anyway, do you think we could perhaps have this disagreement without the personal insults? I really don't want to bite on them but you've had a go a couple of times now.

Oh look those wedding cake decorative figurines look like Donny and Marie. Osmond

Total energy are on Matt Rendels nawty list

Trek need to block a big break or there will be no points come the sprint

 

[Pross]

Lidl Trek are having a difficult time here, they won't want a big group to go up the road.

🤣🤣 Damn I've got work today

"Matxin said on Eurosport that UAE won't go for the stage win today. If the peloton is all together at the bottom of the climb, they will try, but they won't chase the stage win on the flat."

Lol.

For a moment I actually thought UAE were trying to get a big group gone which didn't make any sense, until I saw Lidl-Trek pulling it back so Milan could get some intermediate sprint points (he's sure as hell not getting the points on Ventoux).

I don't think Lidl-Trek and UAE are best of friends.

That must be some huge fridge magnet/black list 🤣

UAE keep

Wout trying to form a break and reels in the original in the process.

This looks a bit more like a mountain stage size breakaway.

 

[Dogtrousers]

If this group stays it's got Abrahamsen and Barré - Velogames breakaway bonanza for me. About 10k to halfway.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

The big front group aren’t cooperating. There’s a surprise.
