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

[AnotherArmChair]

This pace by Jorgenson is useless. If they want to get Pogacar into difficulties he has to bury himself

he is ...

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

Jorgenson not going fast at all though

 

[Heston]

Arensman gone. Hard to see Pogacar not winning KoM now

 

[dobrien]

Pog not showing the slightest vulnerability at the moment.

 

[dazaau]

Roglic and lipo may well end up together, no need to address it at this point I don't think

 

[Gigs_98]

And ride in the valley with Pogacar on his wheel?

Try to drop Pogacar on Madeleine, if it doesn't work recollect the team and try on Loze again

 

[No Excuses]

Jorge cooked

 

[Escarabajo]

I love it when people underestimate the greatness of La Madeleine!

 

[Boehmand]

Vingegaard will probably stick with Jorgensen on the descent and then try again at the bottom of de la Loze.

They had probably hoped for separation to Pogacar before he caught Jorgenson, but no dice.

Pogacar still looking good.

 

[Bratone]

Pogacar on the radio a lot, I wonder why

 

[dazaau]

Jorgenson not going fast at all though

Jonas would have been better without him possibly. This is just recovery time for Pog

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Big headwind, not much Vingegaard can do tbh if he can't get a gap.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Notice how Pogacar stays down on his bike. It's because the on/off button of his battery is placed on the saddle, and he'll want to press it.

Wrong section of the forum.

 

[No Excuses]

Try to drop Pogacar on Madeleine, if it doesn't work recollect the team and try on Loze again

They are already running out of time to gain 4 min imho

 

[Sciatic]

Bobby Wagner with the antlers

 

[Miha81]

Pogacar on the radio a lot, I wonder why

He feels lonely. Wants to chat a little

 

[Berniece]

Visma in quite the difficult position. If Vingegaard goes again he's alone with Pogacar who won't take a turn. So he needs to drop him, which I doubt will happen already.

 

[dobrien]

This pace by Jorgenson is useless. If they want to get Pogacar into difficulties he has to bury himself

I think it might be just that they are so close to the top they figure it makes more sense to have him on the descent and the valley perhaps?

 

[Squire]

Jorgenson not going fast at all though

Going faster than Lipowitz at least. But it's easy to follow because of the big headwind.

Loze has tailwind, so that's the place to attack.

 

[Potomac]

Nice rack!

 

[Poursuivant]

Third place on his own with 70km to go is crazy

 

[Boehmand]

Jorgensen won't got hard now, because they know Vingegaard will need him in the valley.

Jorgensen dictates the tempo until the bottom of de la Loze, and we may even see some riders come back.

 

[iBanesto]

Why wouldn't he?

Still angry about Kuss winning the Vuelta with team orders.

 

[stetre76]

Pogacar on the radio a lot, I wonder why

he's probably bored and wants get some entertainment from the car

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Lipo is killing the group behind but he'll just end in the middle of nowhere right now.
Bora will have a decision to make.
