    Thymen Arensman is the new Dutch hype thread

    Two stage wins is a Grand Tour is a rare achievement for non-sprinter, non-GC contender.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 18: Vif - Courchevel Col de La Loze(171.5k)

    Would it be worse for strugglers if the breakaway could build a huge lead before notable climbing? Like 5+ minutes ahead at Le Verney.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 16: Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, 171.5 km

    Yes. The time limit seems to be a way over half an hour so I think he won't be OTLed.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 14: Pau – Luchon Superbagnères (182.6k)

    I recall when cameras were watching him, waiting to abandon at any moment. He gestured for the camera guys to leave him alone, and they went, while he abandoned them.

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

    Armirail fails to beat Alaphilippe for the French crown today. But Vauquelin is still coming as a big challenger.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 12: Auch - Hautacam (180.6k)

    Finnish commentator said there would be no chance to make the time limit but I don't think it will be a problem. Overall these stages which are easy in the beginning before heavy climbing in the other half aren't too bad.

    Mental or random cycling statistics

    WW2 affected it but Gino Bartali (1938 Tour, 1946 Giro)

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    I was in 2017, I was in the area where I was able to see riders going in two directions. Standing in the area where Avenue George V meets Champs-Elysées. Also a view to the intermediate sprint but there wasn't true sprint that year.

    Tour de France 2025 route rumours and announcements

    I have dreamed about KoM being decided on the 4th category climb of final stage for long time.

    A coffee and a small Danish.

    I tend to read five pages on each thread on one day, apart from race threads where I look entire one if it's interesting. I'm currently 70 pages behind in Pogacar thread.

    General News Thread

    Seeing that three stages is probably most likely, I would think something like this. Stage 1 - GD in Edinburgh or Glasgow, hilltop finish Stage 2 - flat stage, maybe ending in Liverpool Stage 3 - hilly stage around Wales
