Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Potentially

If he's definitely going to be an hour down, why would they do that?

They're off

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Grimay’s lot not going to let a break go until after the IS, by the looks…

 

[mididoctors]

There is no point wanty controlling for a bunch finish where bini scores points and Milan doesn't when pog gets more

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Jonas in polkadots - Pog is true owner, Wellens second, but Wellens nat champs kit trumps it so it goes down to third place.
Unfortunately they printed it with old sponsors, including BetCity, which is now illegal under Dutch law so Jonas refused to wear it. They've now bodged something up to remove BetCity and JOnas is riding in it.

No sprint team will, it's only 20km or so in. They won't even have to control hard, as you'd be mad to try and get away before, espcially when there's a Cat 3 climb (and some hilliness leading up to it) at 35km

Because they would "potentially" be more preoccupied with KV than VLAB and UAE would be

Michael wittman was a nazi thug

According to Tim Wellens, UAE won't be policing the break so "whoever wants to go in it can do"

Kind of glad I'm not watching.

Ned Boulting did a weird thing yesterday by saying "remembering the dead from both sides" and my immediate thought was "one side were literal Nazis, Ned!"

There's a section of German graves in the Commonwealth Cemetery in Bayeux, tended just as well as the rest. The headstones have just the names and dates - all rank and dishonour stripped away. That's just as it should be, but let's not pretend there was any "both sides" about what people were fighting for.

Thank you. I knew that World Champs jersey trumps a race jersey on loan, but wondered if a National (or European) jersey did the same.
