Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[No Ta Doctor]

Not happy with Visma's tactics on the front group here. You can't be trying to get in the break and increasing the speed of the front group while your GC rider is trying to chase

 

[mididoctors]

Race virtually neutralised

 

[Dorset Boy]

Immediately at the crash, TV said Jonas went down. Hardly surprising there was a crash give it was big round cobbles all over the roundabout.
Pogi trying to get everyone to wait but the rest of the peloton seeing it as an opportunity to go off the front.

Typical, we get some drama and no itv4 for ~40mins!

It's their last year, give us coverage from the start, at least at the weekend!

Contractually they have to give up X minutes of live coverage

MvdP takes off

 

[Dorset Boy]

The Visma car was really taking the wee wee pulling the group back

Is that right ... Sort of second tier coverage rights?

 

[mididoctors]

Jonas peloton not closing quickly if at all

Pog should sit up.amd drift back unless there's guys on GC here

Healy is here

Honestly, those cobbles weren't really rideable and the roundabout should have been barriered. Riders on the left of the peloton had no choice but to go over them as the right side didn't leave space. It wa like they chucked a random 5 meters of Arenberg into the race

The green jersey is in trouble

Would have looked better for the TV if Bora were the first team behind it....

Agreed. Though those stones make the Arenburg look like tarmac!

Difficult to know who's up there with him. Problem is always that 5th or 6th might say yeah, let's sit up, but tenth won't because 11th is trying to get in the break, so 9th won't because of that etc
