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

[Moose McKnuckles]

Gap just dropped by 4 seconds. Pog looking more tired, perhaps.

 

[iBanesto]

Guess we don't really need Almeida after all...

 

[Boehmand]

He's ~30 seconds below Riis' 1996 pace right now. It's just Pogacar being absolutely insane

Also - as far as I remember - when Riis did it the stage was pretty easy until Hautacam.

Not so today.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Love the occasional HautacamCam

 

[BubbaChuck]

[Peyroteo94]

Yep, it was a ___________/ stage

 

[dazaau]

Brave riding my Remco

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Vinge has to learn not to react to Pog's initial attack and maybe that way if he rides his own race he can stay within a reasonable gap...only hope and then hope Pog has a bad day

only hope i guess

 

[BigL]

POGACAR VS HISTORY !!

He is transcending cycling, he is becoming one with the field, he is becoming the face of cycling

Jeez man. Put on your pants 😉

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Jonas has kept the gap pretty steady for the last couple of KMs...

 

[noob]

Never did. He would've probably won the giro lol

 

[Salvarani]

Why has Vingegaard not improved compared to last year though? Or is this again another level by Pogi?

We were told he was gonna be so much better now as he had crashed last season, despite doing his best numbers last year

 

[Tim Cahill]

These Bora duo are riding like complete comedians, could've buried Evenepoel today

 

[AlpRaid]

remco out-yoyo-ing anything Jaoa or Froome ever did. lol!

 

[dobrien]

Hats off to Remco today, a smart and brave ride. Just living in the time of Godzilla, it is what it is.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Everytime Lipowitz paces Roglic looks like a fish out of water. Onley with a monster performance

 

[Mayomaniac]

Apparently Roglic and Lipo aren't exactly best friends on a personal level. Biathlon vs Ski Jumping stuff...

 

[Boehmand]

Pogacar increasing the gap to Vingegaard who is increasing the gap to the Roglic group.

In other news, Onley and Johannessen are becoming a viable podium candidates.

Concussion doesn't improve people in general

 

[Tymek]

Last World Champion to win mountain stage in this beautiful jersey was… Bernard Hinault. It just says who is Pogi racing. Not only guys who race nowadays, but he is racing history.
IMO there is only Merckx and Hinault before him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This is a new Pogacar

Why has Vingegaard not improved compared to last year though? Or is this again another level by Pogi?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

A sunday ride on a thursday.
Now, would you believe it.

 

[DJO]

Vey impressed by this ride by Onley.

Which tbh is a logical assumption. But he seems if at all worse (ITT, today)
