Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

A dangerous game to play. Unless loads of riders go slower. in which case they might all get a reprieve.

They already had a cutoff extension extended after moans, apparently.

In that case, they could well be starting their summer holidays early.✌️

I'm expecting Pog, Vin and Even at the very least to all try and win this stage.

Estimates have pog doing it in 23:45 ,.. let's see

Xavier Disley predicting 22-23 minutes for the top riders, so they're definitely cutting it fine - and they've already been granted a 33% to 40% extension, so you'd need to be losing lots of riders and big names before they change it again

Luke plapp has a estimated of 23;45 fir pog

DK TV2 reports that Vingegaard isn't going to ride the TT on the TT bike with lightweight wheels he tested the route on this morning.

Instead he's going to ride it on a brand new modified TT bike that was delivered last night, that he's never ridden before.
If this turns into Roglic's Helmet Part 2 I'm going to kill somebody.

If the contact points/positions are all the same, he'll suffer no ill effects.

Thr french race better away from the tour

Only 9 months to prepare

And away from French teams. For Hinault's sake, somebody protect the French from France!

Should be, but you'd want to take it out a couple of times to make sure nothing was rattling, wouldn't you?

Just started watching ITV4 on Firestick to get hd instead of 576 over Freeview, two riders on road bikes without clip on bars.

Odd choice if bars are allowed!

Luke plapp best time so far had no bars

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

Lack of TT Mario helmets for riders on road bikes with no bars too...

Marginal losses.

Look, seriously; your bike butler mechanic can do that. Or you can take a recovery spin round the start village in the cool of the evening if you want to check it first hand.
It's really not a big deal. (Chances are, someone will have a mechanical today on their "regular" bike :P )

Is puppy paws position allowed when it's not a mass start stage?

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

If you want a bidon, why not use an aero one?!

If you can fit a TT front wheel and a normal rear road wheel, why not?

Plapp had discs on his road bike, Ned said few minutes ago.
