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

[Cycling111]

Nys is realizing that the level here is higher than in Poland.

The same thing happened to him in FW.

 

[red_flanders]

If he's still there after the final climb (probably not) he could benefit from Van Aert & MVDP watching each other like in the olden days when they were closely matched.

I just don’t see anyone in that group not getting chased down. De Lie will get dropped at the end.

 

[kingjr]

He’s having a great race for sure. Much stronger than I thought, but I don’t see how he gets away from that group.

Drop them on the Pech David =D

 

[search]

no idea if it still plays a part in EF's strategy, but before they got yellow, Albanese said that this is a stage he is aiming for

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Why Are we complaining that Israel is riding? Keeping peloton somewhat relevant for the next 10-20 km only adds positive excitement about the stage??

 

[Penninepeddler]

Belgian Pozzato for a reason

50 wins vs 48 2nds...

Pozzato had 32 vs 28

If van Aert can manage to get more 2nds than wins he will truly be on a his own on the Mount Rushmore of 2nd places.

Especially with the Olympic, Worlds, Roubaix, Flanders quadruple 2nd. LBL 2022 is a big disappointment though. Snatched 3rd from the jaws of 2nd. Blemish on the record.

hard to know when we're now 12 days into the Tour, depends what their legs are like at this point.

 

[SafeBet]

VdP group having a hard time closing this down. Peloton not out if either. Race is still wide open.

Yes, but for Israel it‘s just a pointless penalty ride, which I don‘t like

Jake Stewart mate

 

[Tim Cahill]

ISN hoping to put some fatigue into Pogacar's legs so Blackmore can drop him on Hautacam tomorrow.

Less complaining than insulting the for their stupid kit for my part. And I still hate Froome…

July always brings out the best of us.

Jake Stewart mate

I don‘t think the pace exists that closes 2‘30“ but doesn‘t drop Jake Stewart.

Now FDJ takes over the psychosis.

I mean, Blackmore has the prime Froome "driving the shopping cart around" climbing style...

Not sure about the other three, but I don't get the impression MVDP and Van Aert are working all that hard in that group.

Ulala, le panache and screaming inside the team car for the cameras...

I think Gregoire has a much better chance than Stewart, but in the end they will likely all get dropped by Pogi anyway, if it comes down to a battle from the peloton

 

[Kedjan]

MVDP looked a bit laboured on the climb. Also has a slight cold.
Doubt he will win this.

 

[burning]

I actually enjoy the nonsense pulling by IPT and FDJ, provided that they are not using the riders that could may be a factor in the next few days

 

[Brullnux]

The next three days for FDJ and co are borderline rest days, they may as well go all in here. Besides, helps the entertainment

 

[Gingivitis]

That message for De Lie - a tearjerker!

From the climb to the finish, there are 8 flat kilometers. I don't think anyone in the peloton is interested in attacking and riding so many kilometers alone before the Hautacam stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This super threatening move behind is great news for Fred, means others can't just sit on as he does everything.

 

[motty89]

Surely a good thing for vdp that they don't close the gap too quickly? Means everyone keeps working and no one can attack.
