Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[mididoctors]

I prefer it when Visma aren't in a yellow, so that's a positive, but there are a few similar-ish kits, where you're relying on shoulder colours etc to distinguish

IPT Astana and decathlon is a spectrum rather three different kits .,... Arkea lotto ineos ... Movistar UAE wanty total . Visma Tudor Bora

Bahrain helmets stand out ...jayco stand out ... Lidl good.and Cofidis

Hardly likely since they will be riding directly into a strong headwind for the last 75kms.

Yeah, that's annoying. If it had stayed westerly the race could have got blown apart after Aire Sur La Lys or Cassel. Now it looks like it will just be a slog all day. The stretch above may still work if teams can use Cassel to string it out before that short section heading east but it looks like even that is cross headwind so not ideal.

"Full coverage!*"

*But, y'know, not those bits.

(This isn't a huge complaint, I'm glad they've still got something right now, but it's just going to have me searching my options a year earlier than anticipated)

Tudor are wearing helmets that look like Visma, WVA wearing a red bull helmet when there's a red bull team and Vingegaard wearing a red helmet. None of this helps much.

What time is the echelon alarm on for today? Not watching all of this.

FYI and others, their scheduling this week is rather strange.
A potential GC stage tomorrow starts at 2-30pm. The ITT on Wednesday at 2pm, but it’s back to whole stage coverage on Thursday,
Friday and the weekend are all 2-30pm I think.

Just checked the wind forecast and looks like a light headwind for the second half of the race. Klaxon can maybe go back in storage.

Block headwind . No one has any inclination what so ever

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Absolutely nobody wants to sit in a break in a headwind all day just to get caught for the sprint

 

[mididoctors]

The smaller/sprinter teams should make alpecin chase for strategic reasons . Alpecin are going to clean up.if they just let them ride to.thr finish fresh everyday. The aim today is not to win TODAY

 

[mididoctors]

This is going to take forever

Absolutely nobody wants to sit in a break in a headwind all day just to get caught for the sprint

indeed small brain fart from Mohoric and Rickaert before they regained their senses...

 

[mididoctors]

Yellow card the entire peloton. Negative racing

 

[Blazing Saddles]

All this stage is lacking is the champagne and it could be stage 21.
They are so bored they have started to muck around.
