Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 18: Vif - Courchevel Col de La Loze(171.5k)

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Visma waited for UAE doms to use themselves.

 

[Boehmand]

Vingegaard on Pogacar's wheel, on all previous mountain stages it's been the reverse.

Meanwhile UAE and Visma are fighting over the lead.

 

[ice&fire]

Visma's priorities right now:
1) bring back Rog
2) distance Lipo

VLABank had a great nutritional breakfast this morning.

Gall still looks pretty good....hope it stays like that
Armirail just doing a fantastic job - chapeau!!!

Visma's priorities right now:
1) bring back Rog
2) distance Lipo

Why would they care about either of this atm? Rogla is still minutes away from Vingegaard and Lipo is also minutes away from Vingegaard.

Glandon RECORD beaten

Visma's priorities right now:
1) bring back Rog
2) distance Lipo

I generally don't think they care about either of those, I think they are setting up an attack for JV up the Madeleine.

 

[Bratone]

Visma's pace is already high since they instantly cut 30' from breakaway's gap.

 

[Sciatic]

Cardboard signs I expect to see near the top of the col:
"Julian, take me! I love you"
"Ala, grab at perforated edge and tear"

 

[Earns1985]

Visma have to time this good now, that they don´t catch Jorgenson before the top..

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Visma's pace is already high since they instantly cut 30' from breakaway's gap.

Time for the show

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah at this rate, no one will make it over the Madeleine ahead of Pogacar and Vingegaard.

@solo80k

You know what to do

 

[Gigs_98]

This could end up going really really well for Gall and Roglic. If Visma plans to attack on Madeleine they'll try to time it so that Vingegaard catches Jorgenson shortly after the top of the climb. If Roglic and Gall are with him at that point they'll get a free ride to the Col de la Loze while the dropped gc contenders need to pace themselves.

 

[Heston]

Yeah at this rate, no one will make it over the Madeleine ahead of Pogacar and Vingegaard.

Theyve taken 10-15 seconds on Gall.

 

[Gargamel35]

Visma only cares about UAE. Sadly that can destroy all brake options and also Roglič's attempt for stage win or 3rd in GC. Unless he goes all out on his own soon.

 

[No Excuses]

Don't get UAE tactics, rogla is 12 min down in GC

 

[ashhutch1997]

God I miss 2021/22 WVA

 

[Tim Cahill]

This does look like an attack tbh

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Okay, which idiot fan was holding the Czech flag upside down

 

[pastronef]

Yates Narvaez Soler still there though

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pogačar still has around 10 teammates left, so it will be hard for Roglič and Gall despite the help from a strong Armirail.

 

[Didinho]

Visma let UAE ride for them and now Pogi let Visma ride for him.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Oh no, Vauquelin dropped. This will be a hard hard day for him.
