Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 19: Albertville-La Plagne (93.1k) ‚Historic day, magnificent racing‘ ~ Rob Hatch, probably

[Faserr]

Onley is lucky that UAE wants rhe stage but this was predictable.

 

[Valv.Piti]

why is UAE riding again so hard to chase them?

Cause they want to win a stage in the Tour de France. Its very similar to QS and Trek chasing the break on stage 17, you know

 

[Boehmand]

I hope Roglič drops the cheater and gets the maximum polka dot points on this climb

They've all done it, including Roglic - it's just arbitrary when it is caught

 

[Pippo_San]

The GC is over - the stage is not, the polka dots are not and the team competition is not (the last part especially with Visma dropping like flies right now).

ALL OR NOTHING said The Man

even US-Postal let the breakaways go ffs

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Sepp Kuss dropped, brilliant

One of the Peacock commentators was hyping him up for the stage win!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Looks like Vingegaard might have given up on winning the Tour.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Either Visma or UAE were always going to ride, this puts no pressure on Onley, just tires out Roglic so he can't help Lipowitz if he gets in trouble later.

 

[JosefK]

Primoz Landis?

 

[Samamba]

Martinez always looks good on the first climb, only to blow up later.

He looked bad on the first climb yesterday, hence why he was being Sticky Martinez. So yes significantly better today.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Rogla ahead, time to attack Lipo again! The best rivalry in the Alps

 

[Samamba]

Vauquelin is struggling a bit, but he has teammates around him (Arkea has done a surprisingly good job all Tour for him).

 

[Valv.Piti]

Cant have no cheater win the KOM jersey, go on Rogla

 

[memyselfandI]

Vingo not really feeling the polka dots, no polka dot shorts, gloves, or socks.

Like he is feeling anything yesterday, today or tomorrow.. Such a Sleepy Joe lately, should have gone home days ago.

 

[saunaking]

how lame that Lenny even has a sniff at polka dots. Shameful.
The organizers are even more guilty than Lenny for only docking 8 pts, wtf

 

[Boehmand]

ALL OR NOTHING said The Man

Someone said on Danish TV2 the other day, that for the UAE Sheikh the team competition is more important than GC, because it's "the team" - so it's definitely something they will go for if they can, and today it seems they can.

 

[DenisMenchov]

UAE can easily win teams' classification today. Only Simon Yates with Vingegaard now and they're just 14 minutes behind.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The rider with a bmi of -5 is chasing....

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lol, Higuita gets dropped and they decide to zoom in on Tejada.

 

[dgodave]

Just tuning in....

How are the cows doing this morning?

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic is anticipating a half assed Vingegaard attack that is not even coming.

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

Beautiful climb

Campenaerts still in front of peloton right?

 

[jono]

The GC is over - the stage is not, the polka dots are not and the team competition is not (the last part especially with Visma dropping like flies right now).

I think Pogacar somehow engineering a scenario where it is clear he is gifting polka dots to Vingegaard while still winning the stage himself would be a bigger flex than winning polka dots himself.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Campenaerts still in front of peloton right?

But he's losing massive amount of time on La Plagne for sure.
