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

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Ineos pacing for who exactly? I'm all for it because no sympathy left for roadblocking sprinter teams but what's their goal here?

 

[Didinho]

G riding for Cav. Love to see this.

 

[Unchained]

There's no big audience in the USA.

The audience is so small in the US ,NBC- Peacock had to piggyback promotion with Armstrong audience!!

Sam Watson sprint top ten

To attack maybe

Or Watson but yeah

I think only two stages of the entire race are on NBC, which is crazy.

 

[RedheadDane]

For sure ..other teams don't have the sticker

Other teams haven't realised it's quite useful.

 

[Didinho]

So they did everything and nothing.

 

[Samamba]

So they did everything and nothing.

I mean at least they try something?

Races have been won by trying to bridge to a break mid sprint stage.

 

[Unchained]

Is this tactic to toast Milan and the other @6-7 designated sprinters on the small grade? Why would Trek be going hard? @94 to go, what is the urgency of the catch?

Of course I applaud this. But they are off the front when they should’ve made the move. It’s other teams now.

Maybe they drop some sprinters, we’ll have to see at the top.

Happened yesterday, too, albeit on a mountain stage.

I like how much the WT teams without a GC rider or sprinter have made the others work for control this Tour. Makes a nice change.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's it Quinn, get in the break and drop your sprinter instead of helping

 

[Samamba]

Milan is completely dead.

 

[Brullnux]

God what has happened to Milan... his climbing has gone from decent for a rider of his size to genuinely awful, without any gain in his top speed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hahahaha that's never lonely old Johnny Milan working on the front

Last year I had treatment in VA hospital, every other day for July and it's was on in the waiting room!! It was excellent!!
Simmons roasting his own teammate!! Milan is coming unraveled off the back!!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sadly nobody cares

 

[Samamba]

Visma, INtermarché, Lotto, etc. should start riding

Or just attack yeah

 

[search]

For sure ..other teams don't have the sticker

helmet stickers make it much easier to identify riders, but they usually don't like them, and it's not mandatory either. So I'd guess ASO handed out the stickers, but no one but the wildcard team(s) felt the need to put them on.

 

[Rou]

Come on. Finish off Milan.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The Horse should attack Milan at the back and bridge to his teammates

 

[Didinho]

Trek knows that green guy is from their team?

First time I saw Milan he was winning some 1k murito between some climbers. I guess these longer climbs are just too hard for a big rider. Especially in week 3.

 

[Unchained]

Is that Hirsci waking up? Or Trentin again?

 

[Rou]

Visma should start working for Wout.
