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

[Peyroteo94]

Remco is gonna catch Matteo

 

[ice&fire]

See what you want. He stayed with Mateo to help. That's what I saw.

Yes. And the evolution of the gap between the head of the race and the group of Vingo and Pog indicates that Yates and Mateo got back when the group slowed down.

 

[E_F_]

Hm... Perhaps they shouldn't have waited for the dead weight...

 

[Brullnux]

Yeah, it did look to me like Yates was fine and Jorgenson was suffering. Seems to be confirmed now.

 

[Boehmand]

I never understand this. It gets hot where I live too, well over the 31 degrees they keep talking about. This never happens. Do they use substandard road building materials over in France?

I know a great many things, but the inner workings of French roadworks is not amongst them

 

[Potomac]

Remember that Jorgenson fell behind at the beginning of the stage.

 

[Salvarani]

Kuss at the back?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So all the slowdown for Jorgenson was for nothing. Everything going to plan for Visma.

 

[Breh]

Narvaez climing like a god??

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Jorgenson on a bad day. Baiting Pogacar ending before it truly began. For Pogacar it's all about trying to hold on to Vingo's wheel.

 

[jono]

Pyrenees region is poorer than Alps/Dauphine, but all mountains in Spain/Italy/France get pretty intense swings in temperature that can affect it (from -10/20 to +30).

All of that applies to where I live (-35 to +35).

I think by "melting" they probably mean that the compound gets marginally soft at these temperatures.

 

[kingjr]

Thus far, this simply goes to show just how far Pogačar and Vingegaard are above the rest.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yates putting the sword to Mateo...

 

[Sciatic]

My guess, it might be the chip seal. Done here where I live all the time because changing temps in the mountain cause the pavement to crack so often.

This is also a back, backroad by French standards, which get less attention than the yellow and red roads.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Armiral flying now, Decathlon are going full Gallacticos (pun intended and invented by @Red Rick )

 

[Froome]

What happened to remco? Was he dropped? I am not able to see the stage.

 

[Andre]

Remco might be riding smart by saving energy and hopefully do better on Hautacam

 

[Breh]

Yates-Alien-Yates-Alien

 

[Poursuivant]

Armirail looks well too big for his bike

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Yes. And the evolution of the gap between the head of the race and the group of Vingo and Pog indicates that Yates and Mateo got back when the group slowed down.

To try to keep Jorgensen in the group.

 

[E_F_]

What happened to remco? Was he dropped? I am not able to see the stage.

Yep.

 

[perico]

Kuss at the back?

Likely waiting for Matteo. kuss looks perfectly comfortable

 

[Didinho]

Adam is gonna kill all the Visma’s later on with that aero bike.

Edit: Narvaez as last man is insane.

 

[Miha81]

Why would you punish him for doing well

Not punish. I will call them lucky socks

 

[Berniece]

What happened to remco? Was he dropped? I am not able to see the stage.

Within the first few kilometers of the first climb. He lost more than a minute, and now he's almost back.
