Tour de France Tour De France 2025, Stage 17: Bollène - Valence(160.4K)

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

That was extremely predictable.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

But also that’s not the route because that was on a straight section.

 

[Boehmand]

Andresen lost his sprinter in the crash and finished 3rd, I tip my hat

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I SO want Lidl to sign Abrahamsen, he would perfect their classics squad, with the 3 Danes, Simmons, Vacek and Skujins.

Luckily (from UNO-X perspective) that’s not gonna happen, he got a contract until end of 2028.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Wet sprint stage gonna wet sprint stage...

 

[RedheadDane]

Milan wins after Merlier and Girmay gets caught behind a crash.

2. Meeus
3. Lund
4. De Lie

 

[postmanhat]

Love Gall being almost as happy as Milan, just for having got through the stage.

 

[danielzu]

Way too early sprint from astana. Bad luck for bittner, first one to be caught by the crash

 

[Boehmand]

Luckily (from UNO-X perspective) that’s not gonna happen, he got a contract until end of 2028.

I know, but Lidl has money Uno-X can't get close to.

Anyway, just wishful thinking

 

[D. Pecher]

Someone will blame the route for that crash

You could choose any route you want. The usual jockeying for position on a wet road will almost inevitably lead to people face-planting the tarmac.

Milan with unbranded Nimbl shoes?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Belgian horse wins that easily , asterisked win for Milan. Life is not fair man

 

[Didinho]

People riding slow in corners creates gaps - and gaps is time across the line.

I would not mind losing 10-20” with a 4’ buffer. With the 3km rule the GC riders would’ve been just behind that crash.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Did Cofidis just cause another crash? These guys are on a roll.

 

[Didinho]

De Lie for once gaining positions on the right time to touch Milan’s backwheel when he wanted to try. I’m optimistic for a Paris stage win.

 

[Boehmand]

Just watching Bitners crash again, dude is just surfing the road for 30 meters on his ass, completely calm like it's something he does every day - and looks completely unscathed

 

[Penninepeddler]

If Bini broke his collarbone there it is horrific luck... seemed like he avoided it initially only for another swerve to knock him down, kind of gentle fall but collarbones can break sometimes just blowing on them aha.

 

[dgodave]

Nasty.

He was sitting on top of another bike so I don't think he was even in contact with the road most of the way.

 

[Samamba]

De Lie for once gaining positions on the right time to touch Milan’s backwheel when he wanted to try. I’m optimistic for a Paris stage win.

But he tries to move in Milans draft there, my guess is his legs weren't good enough, hence why he went to the right and touched Milans wheel.

 

[D. Pecher]

Did Cofidis just cause another crash? These guys are on a roll.

Yep, another Cofidis master piece.

 

[Samamba]

Meeus could've won this if it didn't let Milan box him in. Smart from Milan also tbh, Meeus wouldn't even have come close if De Lie didn't slow down abruptly cause there wouldn't have been a gap.

 

[Sciatic]

BORA continuing to show some good Week 3 form

 

[JosefK]

A nasty wet crash on a sprint stage ... and Rogla stays upright. What is this?

You should never underestimate an Italian horse in a bike race.
