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

[Ilmaestro99]

Been busy the last 30 minutes. Did lipovitz take a shortcut?

 

[kingjr]

Rubio would be the winner this stage deserves

 

[Samamba]

All Gall needed to do was to agree to relaying with Jorgenson. Instead he's now 3 minutes behind Jorgenson, 2 minutes behind Lipowitz and barely in front of the Onley group.

No all he had to do was not to be stupid enough to just let the other early break guys go. He was sleeping

 

[Rollthedice]

Would you rather they did nothing?

No, no. All good, we have a nice stage but Pog is inevitable unless he has a bad day at a bad moment, which does not seem to be today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Austrian Remco with the gesticulations! He's here in spirit.

 

[ontheroad]

Here we go. Normally 2:45 wouldn't be enough but who knows what games will be played on the Loze.

 

[Red Rick]

All Gall needed to do was to agree to relaying with Jorgenson. Instead he's now 3 minutes behind Jorgenson, 2 minutes behind Lipowitz and barely in front of the Onley group.

And he's attacking a group while he should just be pacing himself instead.

 

[Miha81]

Pog to Rog: Just do a slight leadout to Vinge so I can jump him later in the climb."

Me too ha ha, what is going on, where did these gaps come from on a decent lol

 

[houtdffan]

LOL

Pog not on a climbing bike today

ON an aero bike

 

[Filippo_3467]

Won't be enough for Lipo. The domestiques for Pogi and Vinge are coming back.

 

[E_F_]

Hilarious that we might get a situation where, if someone were to turn on the TV in a while they'd think this was just an ordinary MTF reduced peloton finish.

Armstrong’d the switchbacks up and down hill

 

[Krzysztof_O]

The mutants group was 40 seconds ahead of Lipo and now is 2 minutes behind Lipo now. Tactical stalmate. Vingo has to attack again anyway.

Lipowitch cast stun on his group and rode away from them.

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah, like his opponents are in the group behind. This is genuinely painful to watch for me.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Man, how the *** did Gall blow this so badly?

 

[Heston]

Onley group only 40 seconds behind now

 

[pelotonIQ]

Visma tactical blunder, not that it matters.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Marc Soler to attack over the top as soon as they make it back

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I mean for Visma this is not an issue, they will just do the same as they did on Madeleine now.

 

[nightowl]

Not on the descent, in the valley. Rubio and O’Connor attacked, and Jorgenson followed. Pogacar and Vingegaard ignored it. Then Lipowitz attacked a bit later with the same result. Now the yellow jersey group is soft pedalling because no one wants to pace.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Visma tactical blunder, not that it matters.

Loze will dcide, but right now it looks like an epic Rabofail.

 

[Red Rick]

Terribly sad they don't look at each other and refuse to even follow that group

 

[Heston]

Jonas is about to get some helpers though. A couple of Visma in the Onley group
