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

[Bombarolo]

Almeida in this TdF would have significantly changed these climbs.

 

[Gigs_98]

I am honestly at loss for words how stupid Gall has been riding these last two days

 

[Stubb]

Come on Pogi, let Arensam go!

Urban Dictionary
https://www.urbandictionary.com › define › term=heimer

A person exhibiting severe ignorance and inability to comprehend simple ideas. Derived from the 90's insult "dingleheimer".

So its not about Levi Leipheimer?

Gosh clearly I know nothing about bike racing.

 

[Red Rick]

Arensman is speedrunning his way to the UAE blacklist.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vingegaard probably knows he isn't winning the TDF anymore, so just not let Pogacar win the stage is enough for him

But that isn't exactly an easy thing to do though.

 

[Didinho]

Almeida in this TdF would have significantly changed these climbs.

And he would win this stage if he was the 3rd best climber.

 

[Andre]

just another procession

 

[Bombarolo]

UAE and Visma really undeperformed outside Pogacar and Vingegaard

 

[Didinho]

Pogi using Arensman as bait for the next couple attacks.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Roglic clearly wanted to go out of this tour with a big Whatever statement. What a move hahaha

It's a quite typical "previous GC top contender" move in the third week. We've seen it from riders like Quintana, Bernal, Carapaz and others.

Arensman in rain is a different animal.
He could win a very rainy non competitive Giro.

 

[snipeheem]

Vingo doesnt need to attack. He lead in GC by 4 min

 

[postmanhat]

Gall ca, racing would a lot n only gin 5th today, he can’t win the stage. So he should just pace constantly.

He's a great tempo rider, but that means riding on your own for most of the mountain. If he could develop any kind of kick, climbing would be a lot easier for him.

 

[Salvarani]

Vinge dont want to try anything? Boring

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

"willing to risk 2nd place to win the Tour"

 

[Boehmand]

When Pogacar stood up Vingegaard followed him sitting down - that's the first time we've seen that.

Now he is refusing to take pulls and is playing on Pogacar not wanting to give up the stage - with Arensman as the perfect hare - so Pogacar starts to pull again

 

[Salvarani]

Vinge with his best NVH impression here, just marking Pog

 

[Brullnux]

Vingegaard is playing this right. He has a four minute lead in GC, so has to force Pogacar to attack from the bottom of the mountain and just sit on his wheel.

 

[Bombarolo]

Pogacar and Vingegaard are going up in Zone 2 lmao

 

[Rackham]

Pog and Vinge have a toxic relationship.

I can't believe UAE raced like brutes to chase Rog down just to serve this look at me I look at you soup versus Vinge.

 

[iBanesto]

Vinge dont want to try anything? Boring

Hoping to win the sprint.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's a shame for Arensman that he didn't get the chance to score more KOM points yesterday. The man actually wants the jersey and he has good legs, but his bottles don't have enough glue on them.

 

[Brullnux]

Arensman in rain is a different animal.
He could win a very rainy non competitive Giro.

Way too inconsistent for now, and seems to always start it by losing five minutes.

 

[Samamba]

The non dead FVDB has some awesome legs today
