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

[BubbaChuck]

pog at least fought vinge tooth and nail in 22/23,this is nothing.

 

[Heston]

You are all missing the real GC battle. O'Connor only needs 4 more minutes on Jegat to take 10th place

 

[Mayomaniac]

Only a mythical 1997 Arcalis or 1998 Madeleine performance by the Lipopotamus can save this stage.

 

[iBanesto]

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Jumbo Visma might be more tactically inept than Movistar.

 

[Red Rick]

Lipowitz losing time pretty quickly now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This is the type of stage where Ben O‘Connor destroys everyone.

 

[Izzyeviel]

is it me or does the uae kit look like they've all been driven over? (the kit, not the riders)

 

[Divergence]

Idk how Blythe even has a Jon on TV. He pronounced very confidently that VLAB's tactics is dialed in to he t. What a *...

 

[moljoh]

Deja vu

 

[ashhutch1997]

Vingo loosing podium today

In what world is Vingegaard loosing 6 minutes to Lipo? The second Vingegaard and Pogacar attack the gap will tuble.

 

[memyselfandI]

Must admit I'm getting quite tired of these Brian Smithisms of downplaying VLAB all the time and that rooting fanboyism for Pogi and/or UAE..

 

[Samamba]

Lipo has been riding solo 75% of the time since the attacks started on Madeleine

 

[Peyroteo94]

Another Rabofail

Not a Rabofail. It's just Vingegaard isn't strong enough to beat Pogacar

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lipo looks done for but has 2.30 so should be able to make it halfway up at least.

 

[D. Pecher]

Lipowitz riding purely on wattage judging how often he looks at his display.

 

[Jagartrott]

Wow, Visma. Masterclass!

 

[burning]

Lipowitz is not going to hang on for sure, still he's the smartest guy to get a headstart

 

[kingjr]

Roglic hopes he can bait Lipowitz into blowing himself up lol

It's working

 

[Gigs_98]

I mean at least stuff is happening today, but if this was all the fight Visma had in them Vingegaard better really suck today

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Lipo also not strong enough. He has to put in more pace to get to the front. But I think it's still more playing it safe to not blow up which is understandable

Pacing seems to be one of his strength, it's very very long climb. We'll see how it develops. O'Connor also prone to blowing up and pacing to hard at times.

 

[Didinho]

This valley only needed an angry Remco to entertain us.

 

[Heston]

A Ben O'Connor stage win was definitely not on my bingo card for today.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Lipo has been riding solo 75% of the time since the attacks started on Madeleine

Unfortunately for him, he is working for nothing.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Just what I was hoping to see when they hit the Loze. A GC group with 4 uae riders . Fantastic
