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

[iBanesto]

Who will be the Riis of the Hautacam this year?

 

[Sciatic]

I don't think Amirail has enough of a gap to hold on

 

[Gigs_98]

Hard to imagine otherwise, but now there is still hope other top 10 contenders will as well, and he might not be the worst of those.

And maybe even more importantly, if this is just a bad day his losses to everyone other than Pogacar and Vingegaard (who he was never gonna beat anyway) will be of a size which, if in good shape, he can still make up during the rest of the Tour. When you drop 5 km into the first mountain of a TdF mountain stage you can also be unlucky and lose 10 minutes to Roglic and you are never gonna recover from this.

Grasping at straws, but it's good to see Remco right on Pog's wheel instead of hanging onto the back; he's where he needs to be to start this at least.

American drug commercials are some insane level of dystopia man. Just crazy. You always see people dancing while the warning labels read like "Can cause heart attack, spontaneous human combustion, rabies, do not use if you breathe oxygen...."

Most expensive medical care, worse outcomes than any industrialized nation. 'Merica

and they didn't know S. Yates had come with him.

VPN + Sporza FTW

Cardboard signs in the hands of fans scare me anymore. Why is that?

 

[Didinho]

You know what’s harder (for a Belgian supporter) than seeing Remco getting dropped?

Seeing him getting dropped twice.

not if you don't understand dutch...!?

 

[Tymek]

Here we go! Finally!

 

[Stubb]

So vinge alone. Bad bad omen.

 

[Salvarani]

Cardboard signs in the hands of fans scare me anymore. Why is that?

PTSD from Omi/Opa incident

 

[No Excuses]

Bee dropping

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wow...props to UAE. There when they needed to be, against what is looking like a monumental Rabofail, at least team wise.

 

[Berniece]

Evenepoel already being dropped again

 

[Tim Cahill]

Usually it would blow apart in the middle steepest section but tbh given the nature of who is left I expect attacks earlier

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

GC Kuss off the back...

 

[dobrien]

Remco going backwards already?

 

[Kedjan]

My God, Vinge isolated. We speculated Pog might be it. Hahaha.

 

[Boehmand]

The steep part starts at around 6.5K to go.

If Vingegaard or Pogacars want to try it will probably be after that - but then who knows with these two

 

[carolina]

So much for the best climbing team... Vingo alone

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If I had a nickel for every time the white jersey got dropped by a a Belgian classics rider on Hautacam...

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingo needs to save this day for Visma.
