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

[Brullnux]

Well, at least that gives me a little bit of reason to hope someone can at least make things interesting again to prevent us from facing another 5-7 years of this ***.

Well, Vingegaard at his peak would still be 45s+ behind.

 

[Boehmand]

No need for violence.

Just a continuation of you suggesting maze - obviously meant as a joke

 

[Rou]

Tbf if Vingegaard had the gap to the rest of the field that I expected he would have been right with Pogacar. This was much more Vingegaard being disappointing than Pogacar being better than expected.

Visma should make the race harder.
It helps Jonas, no?

 

[tigabara]

Revenge on who?!

Hautacam 2022

 

[Pozzovivo]

Well well well

 

[dobrien]

No need for violence.

After seeing enough of these fools on the climbs I think violence is absolutely needed!!

7 minutes to 10th, we‘re lacking GC riders here

@ChewbaccaDefense
Nice day today, right?

Not for me. Congratulations, you won an intertubes forum urination contest. I'm sure your parents are proud.

 

[Red Rick]

that version of Nibali is goated, best gc rider of the 2010s!

Pogacar can try so hard, but he'll never look as casual as Nibali during the 2014 Tour

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This was a good day for Remco. I have never seen anything to suggest he can compete with the best in the high mountains.

He needs to ride some spring classics.

If you think this was a good day for Remco then you are either trolling or you didn’t watch the Tour last year.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I suspect that you mean that it is palpable, and that you find int unpalatable.

I see many posters make mistakes but dont think to correct them

 

[Heston]

Well, Vingegaard at his peak would still be 45s+ behind.

The Hautacam stage in 2022 had a harder run in with attacks on Spandelles. And it was later in the Tour.

Jonas being slower on Hautacam than 2022 means his overall climbing level is much worse.

No, mate. No hard feelings.

Can we now say that 2014 Nibali beats every version of Evenepoel?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Vauquelin surprised me. never thought he would still be there in the big mountains

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I think Vingegaard will destroy Pogacar on Hautacam.

Listen here, Yavor, making bad predictions is MY JOB on this board.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cristian Rodriguez in 10th at 7 minutes proves the strength in depth is comical right now.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Arkea with 3 guys top 12 on a stage like this - insane!

 

[Red Rick]

He would have to survive cobbled swimming pools to even make it to his mountain spanking.

 

[Brullnux]

I do actually think that Hautacam in 2022 and 2024 puts Nibali's performance into perspective - even in a much faster era, the time stands up fairly well.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

HA, Jorgensen interview. Time to eat what you puked out earlier.

I had no idea he was in the race

 

[Mayomaniac]

Arkea with 2 guys in the stage top 10!

 

[Didinho]

Haha my man Rubio coming in 11th

Rubeldia 😍

Hautacam 2022

Yeah because he really needed it since he has won no races since then.
