Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 16: Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, 171.5 km

[ontheroad]

Did someone not tell Alaphilippe there were still 18km left. Bonkers move.

Arensman just rides to his watts and isn't stupid enough to follow Alaphilippe

It seems strange that UAE invested so much effort to control the break in the first 100kms if they are not interested in the stage. They could have easily let 8 or 10 riders go and have a more relaxed day.

They give up, they mismanaged the start, should've not let Politt ride like he did, jumping on everything.

The problem was that it were always like twenty to thirty riders trying to go.

Mont Ventoux mind surveillance and control tower.

 

[Samamba]

Wild to me that other teams let the best climber in that whole group just go early. Other teams even worked with him.

They probably thought other teams would contribute to trying to catch the break - but the sprinters showed no interest in the intermediate

Gap is going down fast now. Nearly 50 seconds lost over 3k.

Did someone tell him you can ride straight? I’m getting seasick watching him.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Arensman will just grind them off his wheel.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Massive crowds on the roadside

 

[Miha81]

How much Mas has in the legs? He can be a dark horse today.

 

[dgodave]

Ala is going to get cooked like a raisin wearing black.

 

[No Excuses]

Lulu will drop soon

 

[Didinho]

3rd week Mas! 😍

 

[D. Pecher]

Allaphilipe blowing a gasket in three...two...one...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Enric looking good

 

[pastronef]

GO ENRIC GO GO GO!

 

[ice&fire]

Mas peaking too soon for the Vuelta

 

[ontheroad]

Ala is churning like a cement mixer hanging on for dear life.

Brave move from Mas attacking so early. Arensman will just ride tempo the whole way up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Enrico finally!!!

 

[dazaau]

Go Mas, there is a winner I can get behind.
