Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 1: Lille – Lille (184.9k)

[Boehmand]

Where did the last 44 riders come from?

(Remember that all numbers between 1 and 228 aren't in use...)

I got lazy to just went with the highest starting number - my bad

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen (wearing his TT helmet - didn't see if he was in the speed suit too) in the pre-stage interview saying he is certain it will split in the wind today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sep Vanmarcke's (first) prediction as Tour co-commentator was a bit off: "around 30 riders will be ready to fight to get into the breakaway.".

Showing all the tactical acumen that served him so well in converting opportunities to win classics to actual wins.

Nice to see that Vercher keeps rocking the blue shoes like last year. Not many riders dare to stand out from the white shoe armada.

Happy Vingegaard has a new design for his helmet, no longer a fake Danish Champion.

Discovery+ no longer ad free, multi-stream no commentary it is

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Duel #5 is on!

BTW Vingo has cool glasses.

 

[Netserk]

Poorly filmed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Kuss and the Yateses spotted lingering at the back, may aswell, team doesn't need them atm and who cares if they lose time. Roglic should just take his chances and join them in the first week.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are Trek doing, cars taken out, send someone back!!!

Yeah, I'm on the legacy £15 for a little bit longer but after that it's back to bootleg like the old days, especially with the champions league being so poor. I'm not bothered about paying a bit of money for a decent product but at some point it becomes a matter of principle not to.

Was cursing this same aswell on HBO Max, which is the cycling streaming option in my country nowadays, cause they bought the Eurosport rights i think. Going to send feedback, that im switching to free streaming if the "premium" subscribtion comes also with adds, like wtf. And you can't even skip them anymore by watching with a few minutes delay, cause before you could just use the forward option when the adds came on.

Lad on the motorbike telling the injured rider he's not allowed to ride behind team car on day 1. UWN

The previously much-maligned Flobikes seems to be one of the best options going these days (Canadian subscription).

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bissegger also down

 

[Samamba]

Tha massacre has started

 

[AmRacer]

Tour de crashing France.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Decent wind but the teams probably are chickening out because Le Tour

At least for me it's only 9,99€/m+4,99€ for the sports, but still im paying for a service already I don't want to watch adds then.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar and Vingegaard at the front but only with 1 rider each

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pogacar and Vingegaard at the front but only with 1 rider each

They only need each other.

 

[Stablo]

Geez with the crashes already! Don't want this to be the excitment of the day. It's starting to look exactly the way everyone was a bit scared here.
