Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

[Pross]

So no C Rod move Total Energies Jegat up to 10th, nice.

What happened to him? Did he get injured in the pile up yesterday?

Are Visma getting extra bananas in their bags to throw under Pog's wheel?🤣

It was 2 years before I was born and i know the reference.

It's British cultural heritage, should be on a GCSE history syllabus

I have a feeling that we'll see Visma's bully boy tactics pay off today with Vingegaard dropping Pogacar on the Madeleine and bridging to at least one satellite rider waiting at the bottom to tow him to the foot of Col de la Loze.

I hope so, though perhaps not with that phrasing about the tactics of the massive underdog that's desperately trying to claw back over 4 minutes

Needs to ask himself the question: what would G do?

I reckon the G of today would say "Don't do it mate, I've done it, it's not worth it. It's not like anyone here's winning the Tour and you might miss out"

Does a 161km stage that's not mountainous and which doesn't present many challenging obstacles constitute anything substantive in the 'biggest bike race in the world'?

Eh ? Today is a mountain stage isn't it ?

I was referring to yesterday's stage. I think the 161km's gave that away.

Wout going to go with Milan at the sprint and then keep going to establish a break with satellite riders.

Now he's definitely on the "don't let him in the break" list, though today it's 90% tactical and only 10% spite.
His role here might be just to make it hard for UAE from the start because they can't not chase him. Then get e.g. Benoot and Campenaerts up the road when they're a little worn down.

We've all moved on mate. Sort of happens when there's a queen stage on.

Vin to sprint at intermediate to draw out Pog and panic Milan?🤪

If Pog does launch and get big points at intermediate, is today's stage of mountains possibly going to crush Milan, into missing cutoff?

They should look at making sure Pog doesn't get any green points, a short alliance with Lidl-Trek wouldn't be a bad thing, keep that psychological warfare up

Yes. Broken pelvis

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

Shock horror, wibble Wout launches at the intermediate banner.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Ok Jonny's got his points. You can start now

 

[Blazing Saddles]

The charge is on

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

Wellens going long?😱
