    Thread planning

    I don't know which Stage 14 thread got started first: apologies to @Tricycle Rider if hers was first, but I couldn't see it if it was. Really don't know what time I copied DE's post. Anyway, threads merged, posts about duplication removed, no harm done.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 13: Loudenvielle – Peyragudes (10.9k, ITT)

    I suspect that you mean that it is palpable, and that you find int unpalatable.

    Moderation

    I'm not sure what you mean by vagueposting, but when considering whether disciplinary action is needed, rapid self-deletion would play a large factor.

    Disappointing to see riders eating and drinking during the minute's silence.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 11: Toulouse – Toulouse (156.8k)

    Saved someone getting the publicity for a cause he was trying to promote. The guy was far behind Abrahamsen and Schmidt, and a long way ahead of Van der Poel. It was irresponsible behaviour, but in no way would have caused carnage. (And re-donning my mod hat, we are not going to start a...
