Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 10: Ennezat – Le Mont-Dore (165.3k)

[AnotherArmChair]

its very obvious Jonas is waiting fro the last week when Visma are hoping Pog and his team will be tired

He was never going to beat POg on a finish like today

why cant people see the writing on the wall

 

[Penninepeddler]

I have only ever been ridden past by three professional cyclists...

which happens to include the stage winner today and the yellow jersey holder!

 

[Rou]

The profile of the final climb suits Pog more are we know Visma are kind of a race by numbers team.

Guess they didnt want to risk losing 5-10 seconds here (which was a 90% outcome if Vingegaard went super deep as Pog would get on his wheel and probably go past him)... and think maybe can claw time back in the high mountains.

Maybe you haven't been attention for the past 18 months but the profiles that suit Pogacar start on Thursday.
I saw it impossible to drop Vingo on a 8 min hill.

 

[GroupDK]

Adam Blythe saying he doesn't believe Pog wanted to lose yellow. He is such a Jumbo Visma shill. Clueless.

You really think he wanted to lose yellow before rest day/media circus?
Come on bud, They riding for media-obs to team and themself, and restdays is one of the biggest promodays of the tour.
You can bet they & everybody wanna be in yellow for restday, but UAE couldn't today, it would cost too much to hail back those strong riders in the front, with Hayley going all in.
Relating to the facts doesn't mean that person as perse.. is a shill.. on the other hand...ignoring obvious signs and facts if you will.... hmm yeah..

 

[yaco]

Yates smarter than the rest by attacking the last 500 metres of the descent before the climb. O'Connor silly to full gas at the bottom of the climg to catch up to yates which killed his finish. A well timed effort by Arensman left on the final climb.

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone criticizing Visma for today should check where Adam Yates finished and tell me who's winning the Great Twin Experiment

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Now that Simon has got his stage win, the pressure is off for the tour and he can start to think about helping the team with their general classification ambitions

 

[kingjr]

Seriously why do so many here don't understand it?

1. Visma wants to put fatigue into Pogacar and UAE, they do this by making the stage hard. They did exactly that.

But how did today's stage put more fatigue into Pogačar than Vingegaard himself?

Adam Yates isn't supposed to go for stage wins, that's Pogi's work.

Pog could barely hide his smile for the last 1km.

Visma should've kept Roglic if they wanted to 1-2 Pogacar. nobody is gonna be afraid of Matteo Jorgenson.

Disagree. If Pog really wanted it, he would have had it. It was close in the end and he sat up, and not because he was empty. They also took their foot off the gas earlier in the stage.

 

[Peyroteo94]

But how did today's stage put more fatigue into Pogačar than Vingegaard himself?

Thank you...

 

[E_F_]

Probably couldn't believe his luck... Might well win the tour without ever being put under pressure.

Like literally everyone was predicting that though given the race situation, does he just like being contrary for the sake of it ?

Was it Saturday where he basically violently agreed with exactly what Robbie was saying but started off saying youre totally wrong and then actually just repeating Robbies point

 

[dr.eve]

But how did today's stage put more fatigue into Pogačar than Vingegaard himself?

It probably didnt or didnt differ much. However we all handle fatigue differently in terms of recovery.

 

[Red Rick]

Visma should've kept Roglic if they wanted to 1-2 Pogacar. nobody is gonna be afraid of Matteo Jorgenson.

Roglic wanted to go. So they made deal and a different team paid up the $$$.

Ayuso meanwhile is never getting out.

Class!

Cav once overtook me in the Peaks when he was world champ. He was moto pacing behind Rob Hayles though.

I am quite lucky where I live we have have had some decent pro's and pro triathletes over the years. But certainly puts you in your place lol.

 

[dr.eve]

Thank you...

So what are you saying exactly?

 

[zlev11]

Roglic wanted to go. So they made deal and a different team paid up the $$$.

Ayuso meanwhile is never getting out.

i know, but maybe they could've tried harder to appease him and keep him. Jorgenson as your wild card GC rider is not gonna work.

 

[Froome]

It will be the same in the Pyrenees.

Superbagneres, ventoux and la loze.

 

[Cycling111]

Suddenly all of Visma is better than UAE in the mountains.

 

[Didinho]

Vingo wanted to shake hands with Pogi as if they collaborated for 10km’s and put minutes into every other rider.

 

[Poursuivant]

Dan Martin pontificating about his fellow countryman Healy, both with unusual Irish accents.

 

[dobrien]

All hopes (if there are any) to be dashed hard on Wednesday. Battle for 3rd podium spot could be fun I guess.
