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

[Tim Cahill]

The Valverde special 500m attack after sitting on all day, pretty funny you have to say.

I hope Pogačar doesn't know O'Connor won and celebrates

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar is gonna put 30 seconds on Vingegaard

Too optimistic

That onley was there with Vingo’s attacks says a lot about Vingo’s limit

 

[scribers]

Where’s that old crafty roglic?

 

[BubbaChuck]

lol pog.

 

[Rou]

Too easy for Pog.

 

[Brullnux]

Pogacar is gonna put 30 seconds on Vingegaard

8 seconds and 12 to Onley, not really a bomb.

 

[titan31]

Pogacar comes off as very unlikeable at times imo. Reminds me a bit of Lance with how he races against people (and this reported blacklist UAE have doesn't help there)

 

[E_F_]

Boring stage, boring race, boring sport?

 

[BubbaChuck]

they can call him ANATTAR.

 

[Boehmand]

I think 4 minutes is the limit for Lipowitz?

It was obvious he did not have it today. Now race is probably really over.

Glad to see the race for podium is still wide open.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Pog ensuring he doesn't detrain too much.

The Valverde special 500m attack after sitting on all day, pretty funny you have to say.

I think Pogs been riding very smartly and conservatively.

 

[Salvarani]

Threw away a lot here Lipo

Will be super-close now for third

 

[Peyroteo94]

8 seconds and 12 to Onley, not really a bomb.

10 seconds plus 2 seconds

 

[Rou]

Pog playing on reserve mode.

 

[Boehmand]

Lipowitz in at 3:38

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Lipo makes it and stays in white.

Let's see how he can recover tomorrow.

Bora really totally blew it. Rogla only needed to ride and it would've been over.

 

[iBanesto]

FloLip and Roglic really f----d up today.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Visma fail and Bora fail. O'Connor wins in this chaos. Vingo was tired on Loze and weakly attacked with 2 km to go. Pogacar distanced him at the end. Pogi much closer to victory now. I think if he had attacked 5 km to go he would have maybe won the stage and distanced Vingo more.

 

[ontheroad]

Big losers today:
1. Gall
2. Red Bull (could have easily been 3/4 in GC but inexplicably end up losing time to Onley)
3. Visma (in hindsight it would have made little difference but still a tactical failure)

Big winners:
1. O'Connor
2. Onley
3. Pogacar (Tour wrapped up)

 

[Tim Cahill]

I think Pogs been riding very smartly and conservatively.

He has, been doing exactly what he should be doing. A tactic other riders have been criticised for years for doing, it's easy to attack from afar when your FTP is 10% higher than the next guy.
