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

[Rou]

If Jorgenson were up front, Pog would have gone so hard the draft would have torn off Matteo's moustache when Pog went by him.

This stage was a carbon copy of last year's stage in the Giro where he allowed Steinhauser to win.

If Jorgenson were up front, Pog would have gone so hard the draft would have torn off Matteo's moustache when Pog went by him.

He would probably risk burning himself out if Matteo was in front as there is no love shared between those two.

 

[Skalman]

Dont like Arensman or his dad but Chapeau to him for a really strong ride.

 

[movingtarget]

Great win by Arensman.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Anyway, very impressive win by 'atacama' anrensmen. No surprise to see him win in wet conditions, when he famously finds dry roads where no-one else can

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

What a ride by Thymen. He as such great endurance, he would have thrived in '80 and '90 GTs

 

[scribers]

Exactly why they are planning on Jorg stage hunting moving ahead. Lose big time today so none of the other teams care about his inferno pace in the break. This equals nothing but opportunity for visma against UAE/Pogi

That should be a satisfying stage for everyone, not easy to find room for complaint. It's clear that many of us don't always want all out action after all.

Some capitulation is just as expected.

Healy with Rogla, though, is quite a sight.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Healy really good today. GC Healy now a possibility again.

id prefer if he lost time and went on the break tomorrow to be honest ...And maybe go on stage 20 too

He has great legs and if he 'rested' some days he could win these stages
GC is a top 10 and its very hard for a rider who hasn't trained for GC or has a support team
But he is going so well

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Chapeau to Jonas, he keeps fighting. Much respect. Still a long way to go to Paris.

He is 6 minutes behind the next place in GC and almost 6 minutes ahead of 11th. So I think he can do both really. But of course it will be harder to do so if he has no day of rest.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Also, major props to Ben Healy!

 

[MagliaNera]

Fantastic ride by Arensman today (of course) and also nice to see Lipowitz and Gall doing well from the GC group. But bummed that Remco dropped out, seems like the final bit of tension (for 3rd) is now also reduced considerably. Although on RAI they still believed that Roglic will come 3rd because of his experience in the 3rd week.

Crazy GC gaps, 23 minutes between 1st and 10th after two weeks, that's even more than in the last two editions. I think they will need to seriously reconsider stage design for next year, as it will only get worse in the 3rd week.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Remember when Geraint Thomas complained jokingly about the young bas**rds
Wonder what Rog was thinking when Healy beat him home ....

 

[awavey]

Poor arensmen when he tells his kids one day how he won a historic tour de France stage at superbahneres, will have to show the photos of himself winning in that horrible kit. Can never be erased.

I cant tell if Ned Boulting is serious or not, but he said the shorts patch is an ironed on transfer style, not sublimated, which is why its already disintegrating, as its noticably getting less visible.

 

[RedheadDane]

All that effort from THJ, and he's the only one in the top-10 (apart from Pogacar and Vingegaard) who stayed in the same position. Rather than climbing one spot from Evenepoel's DNF.

BTW, yes... I do realise that poles and rope doesn't help much when the spectatees just ignore it.

 

[awavey]

Ironic since it looks like someone erased a whole stripe across it.

I get why people dont like it, and Im not a fan myself, but given the design constraints for it, I think its the best combination you can do, so Im not all about the pile on with it, its not the best kit, its certainly not the worst we've ever seen or will ever see

 

[Poursuivant]

I can see ASO making these Tours more and more backloaded to try and keep any suspense for as long as possible.

I totally agree, honestly. Was just joking.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nice to see my boy Simon Yates apparently hasn't made some weird UAE blacklist after mugging them for a full Giro, great stage win the other day.

Though I think 'everyone a bit tired after 2 weeks' is more likely

[hayneplane]

Anticlimactic as hell. Sivakov losing 1.20-30 in 3-3,5 Km is simply bad

They should have had him swapping turns with Pollitt earlier so Nils could have been around for longer.

 

[Sciatic]

Also, major props to Ben Healy!

Yes!

 

[Sciatic]

I can see ASO making these Tours more and more backloaded to try and keep any suspense for as long as possible.

But then we get lackluster racing on the most highly anticipated stages which seems like a waste.

 

[fenns]

Clear that Pog is not going to chase stage wins - opportunities for breaks in the final week

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I can see ASO making these Tours more and more backloaded to try and keep any suspense for as long as possible.

Possibly Grand Depart in Slovenia 2029 with a proper MTF on stage 2!
