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

[bNator]

Does Blythe have a concussion or something? Spouting absolute idiocy and seems to have confused Vingegaard and Pogacar

I’m afraid Blythe has a permanent concussion 😁

 

[Peyroteo94]

Visma was hoping to drop some important UAE doms but it backfired.

Pog will now have A Yates, Narvaez and Wellens to lead him out on Hautacam.
Could spell trouble for Vinge!

With Almeida here. They would be stacked to be honest.

 

[Didinho]

Narvaez riding like he’s prime Giro Dani Martinez.

 

[Boehmand]

Visma will have to choose on Hautacam, save Jorgenson or attack Pogacar, they can't do both when he is on a bad day.

It will be Pogacar and Vingegaard mano-a-mano.

 

[Sciatic]

Who will be in 3rd in GC by the end of the stage? Healy? Vauquelin? LIp? Roglic?

Feels like Visma are just doing UAE's job for them now.

 

[noob]

So weird seeing Bardet on the moto!

 

[Red Rick]

Clearly some guys really struggle with the very hard flat section, but Evenepoel being one of them I would never predict.

"We need to slow down to keep this guy who can't keep up to make sure that the others can't keep up."

You don't understand, he'll magically recover now

 

[Mayomaniac]

The Bora duo isn't looking good IMO.

 

[Kedjan]

Heat causing problems. Healy is realy suffering now.

 

[svit]

Roglic and Lipowitz are still there. Roglic will be 3rd overall after this stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Adam Yates still there expected but Narvaez in a group of 12 or so left pretty impressive, he's not really a high mountains guy.

 

[burning]

Soler is zooming back, lol

So much for Visma talking about making the race hard and blowing up themselves

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Nor surprised some are dropping . The racing has been all out mental esp at the beginning of stages

Healy has spent so much energy in breaks , etc

Jorgenson also has with his attacks and Simon Yates with the giro in his legs spent alot in 2 breakaway stages already

 

[iBanesto]

Healy wants to go swimming with all those bottles cooling him down!

 

[Boehmand]

Helps when you only have to make a proper effort once a week!

I have a great affinity for Woods.

He came to cycling extremely late and has won some epic victories.

 

[Kedjan]

Soler might come back on the downhill.

 

[ontheroad]

If Vingegaard is to do anything it will be down to himself today. His team played their card but it blew up in their face as UAE never blinked. Still all not lost yet as it will likely come down to mano a mano as was always likely to be the case.

 

[jono]

Who will be in 3rd in GC by the end of the stage? Healy? Vauquelin? LIp? Roglic?

Healy's going to lose 8 minutes today.

 

[E_F_]

Just go for it Visma! All or nothing. Perhaps you could've made Pogacar bonk. Now, that's very unlikely.

 

[Didinho]

Hear me out. This is just the biggest Belgian yoyo you’ll ever see.

 

[jono]

I have a great affinity for Woods.

He came to cycling extremely late and has won some epic victories.

I do too. As a Canadian and fan of the underdog/guys who have a non-traditional route to the sport, Woods and Svein Tuft are two of my favourites.

 

[No Excuses]

Where is wellens?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

"We need to slow down to keep this guy who can't keep up to make sure that the others can't keep up."

Yeah, keeping Jorgensen in, when he clearly can't keep up, is strange to me.
