Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Saw the imagined footage of Jonas and Wout driving the Visma car. Was mildly amusing.

Think it was probably just a car safety feature that wasn't switched off. Has happened before with race organiser cars as well. Visma being "dirty" has been extremely overstated. I honestly didn't see anything at the Tour, that was completely unfair. even the squabbles at feeding zones seemed more like in the heat of battle issues between competitors. That was also Jorgenson who seems a very likeable person and not cut-throat in any way.

Regarding Vingegaard, with him going to the Vuelta, general sentiment seems to be that Vuelta + WC in Ruanda isn't properly doable. The travel being too stressful etc. At least that was the criticism a few months ago regarding many riders possibly not showing up for worlds.

The clip, if anyone hasn't seen it.

First time I’ve seen it. Pog got “brake checked”. No reason for a sudden stop there.

A lack of awareness by Pog, why did not the other UAE rider he was level with crash with a well?

That is how a brake check works. 😉

I think any needling they tried backfired anyway . Pog didn't make that big a thing about it everyday. He was too in control to care and stage 11 sorta extinguished all that talk pretty much .

So it should just have run over the pedestrian in front of it?

Maybe didn't need to stop quite so suddenly, but as said above, that may have been a car safety feature kicking in.

I'm not sure how anyone can see there's no reason for a stop there, it's clear as mud. They're going past the Uno-X bus and there are people around it so there may have been cause to stop for one of them. Much ado about nowt imo
