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

[Red Rick]

Yes! Politburo should be an allowed nick name.

That or Polittzei works as well

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Simmons has been fantastic today (and much of the race to be fair)

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic should've been on the front working for Meeus

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Curious why Total Energies has that big number sticker on the helmet!!

Curious why every team hasn't done it for years: very useful service to viewers.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Whoever came up with Pollittburro, chapeau, that's brilliant

 

[Norbea]

Abra is such a monster. How does he keep the peloton at a distance while they are all going at warp speed?

He can't he is babysitting.

 

[Rou]

He can't he is babysitting.

Rogla was a great papa yesterday.
Teaching the toddler to walk.

For sure.. I have the bib numbers and when it's like this I go to procyclingstats and see what the guy was done..
I have a Lazer helmet and the sticker wouldn't work easy with the design.. Maybe that's it that there is side venting or RedBull sticker!!
Wondering how many of those Zwift hockey puck looking things they are selling.. The low end model is $300 bucks US..
..Skoda has good ads ..
With those big sausage sized RFID tracking wands under the seat.. I am surprised that TV doesn't do some little tracker graphic..

Girmay made it but Intermache I think have 3 (!) riders in the dropped group, what a diasterclass from them, golden opportunity and then you have no team.

Last year they were a well oiled machine and helped Girmay to green...

this year they have been a mess.

Teunissen leaving, Rex doesnt look right... Teunissen has been a massive loss really. Was the perfect lead-out man for Girmay.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Peacock dudes playing with that CGI crap again.

 

[Faserr]

Big rain coming in for the last 30-45min at the moment.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What is Wout doing back there?

 

[Radeon]

Bike change.

Cavendish talking about how it's nice that there isn't a dominant sprinter.
I don't think he felt quite the same way when he stopped being the dominant sprinter, and also think he was quite happy about being the dominant sprinter once again in 2021.

He's they type of rider that should be often seen, but seldom heard.

 

[Samamba]

Watch it rain a tiny bit on Paris and see them take out Montmartre

So he should have been riding in the silent era?

Going for the grey jersey.

Looks like that won‘t happen luckily

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Luckily no one hit the Panda.

 

[RedheadDane]

Did Gachignard try to keep Alaphilippe from crashing? On the replay, it looked like he kinda reached towards him.

 

[Red Rick]

Contrary. He's probably the most eloquent former rider I know when talking about cycling, especially when talking about sprints.

Well we all know what Zhou Enlai said about the weather in Paris: “It's too early to tell.”

 

[Samamba]

Interesting attack

This same kind of attack worked 2 years ago when Eenkhoorn did it, but then you had Asgreen, Abrahamsen and Campenaerts in front.
