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

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar is on a zone 1 ride right now.

If this pace continues then O'Connor still has a chance of winning the stage.

 

[Red Rick]

Visma probably actually believe they're pacing for tomorrow.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

That's the usual fan reaction, but when you look at the numbers after the race, you most often see that the top riders gave it all.

Look at the guys still in this main group and tell me he's giving it his all.

 

[burning]

And they are hitting the flat section, so nothing can happen until 6ks to go

 

[dazaau]

I miss the greedy, young and inexperienced Pog who just wanted to nuke everything all the time 😂

 

[solo80k]

This is so lame queen stage. Apparently all bullets were fired on Madeleine...

 

[No Excuses]

Narvaez... showtime

 

[Peyroteo94]

I miss the greedy, young and inexperienced Pog who just wanted to nuke everything all the time 😂

He is in!!

 

[Unchained]

Imagine Higuita wins a bunch sprint of 15 riders on top of Loze after the queen stage with +5000m altitude.

He just lost contact!! Ooohhh' Conner is crushing it.. His legs know the way home!! Pog doesn't look to be feeling any pressure.. Lipowitz riding bold!!

 

[kingjr]

ARE THEY ASKING HIM TO WAIT NOW LMAO

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It‘s gone very wrong for Red Bull

 

[AmRacer]

Pogi attack incoming

 

[search]

Not in RBHs planning. His season objective was the Dauphiné where they tried him as a Captain for the first time. Then he was expected to use his remaining form to help Roglic in the tour. They never had him on the cards for a podium. That happened because Roglic couldn't follow on some of the Pyrenaes stages.

yeah, same as he was a domestique for Vlasov and Martinez in Itzulia.

You shouldn't believe everything they say.

 

[snipeheem]

Its time to kill them all Goat

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

RB masterclass. Roglic falling back and Onley might have a chance to take time on Lipowitz as well.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Onley the biggest winner! Redbull will be the biggest loser today

 

[Bratone]

HERE'S JOHNNY!!!

 

[D. Pecher]

Compared to the Ventoux stage this is rather anti-climactic.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

No early attack by Visma on Loze. Waiting for a late fragment. Fail is more and more likely...unless Pogi is dead and gone. He isnt looking so.

 

[burning]

Pogacar wants the stage and KOM

 

[houtdffan]

this is where Pog collapsed 2 years ago

totally different climb this year

 

[SHAD0W93]

Pogacar is on a zone 1 ride right now.

Visma’s big brain plan of detraining Pogacar so Vingegaard has a chance in the Vuelta.

 

[E_F_]

Visma probably actually believe they're pacing for tomorrow.

All in on the fatigue angle - they will attack on the first Montmartre and take 5 minutes when Pogacar bonks.

 

[postmanhat]

Narvaez on the front. Now we might get some racing.
