Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 14: Pau – Luchon Superbagnères (182.6k)

[Boehmand]

If there was Jonas attacked a little go late.

MUCH too late.

I wanted Visma to drop the hammer before even hitting the last climb.

This weak-ass attacking in the last 3K stuff ain't gonna cut it when you are over 4 minutes behind - it's a defeatist strategy.

 

[Poursuivant]

Arensman has no pain face

 

[Andre]

Congrats Arensman!

 

[Didinho]

Pogi gaining data like prime Jumbo.

Well, maybe that was Pogacars bad day and all this pacing was just to discourage Visma. Yesterday he said he nearly made himself explode at the end of the TT.

In fairness it appears they had no team to do so, partly cause they sent them up the road in the break, but mostly because they are all stuffed

 

[Heston]

Great victory

 

[jono]

Nice to see a small team like Ineos get a win in the Tour.

 

[iBanesto]

Lipowitz - what a brave ride!

 

[nightowl]

I think Pogacar isn’t feeling great, otherwise he would’ve put in a real attack at some point. Even a a Couiolle-style late surge if he was trying to ride conservative.

 

[ontheroad]

Very strong ride from Arensman but it looks like a gift from UAE to Ineos. Bizarre riding from UAE considering they pulled all day, if Pogacar attacks he wins that stage easily.

 

[awavey]

in what way did Vingo try try try today Rob ?!?

Not bizarre at all. They completely neutralized visma

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi gifting the stage after all. So he can get the next 26 mountain stages without being called greedy.

Where is RedRick?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Great ride by Gall

 

[ppanther92]

Small statement by Pogi enough to keep Visma discouraged.

And Gall the #3 uphill as he was in the last week of 2023.

Yep

Visma never truly tested it, Pogacar can stick with anything over just 3K on sheer willpower, they should have gone long range.

But all the strategising is of course irrelevant if Vingegaard just didn't have the legs.

 

[Rou]

Yes. This was a gift.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Pogacar took 30 meters on the Dane on the last 100 meters.

 

[fenns]

Pog succumbing to stage-win shaming

 

[Rou]

Pogacar not even breathing in the sprint.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Roglič with Ben Healy… ouch

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Be Healy beating the Rog ...and remember he is not a GC rider

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Roglic finishing with Healy is brutal

 

[Didinho]

Well deserved Thymen!! Strong ride.
