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

Vingegaard played it correctly today.

No he didn't.

All he could gain today was a stage win, and he didnt even try because he was scared of Pogacar outsprinting him. Absolute cat.

He also claimed he would leave it all out there in an effort to win the TDF - that's 2 stages in a row and he didn't even try.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Now it will be interesting to see if fans will give Arensman the same treatment as Mark Padun. Somehow I doubt it.

Why would they?

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Pogacar hater spotted eheheh. C'mon Red, not even a single attack?

What would an attack do for him when he was cooked?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Yeah honestly that was totally ok by Vingegaard if he attacks earlier Pogi counters and gets the stage win. So in the end 2nd was the best placing possible. A bit curious why Pogacar did ride the way he was. Of course he's not on the pyrenees level but clearly also didn't had any problems with the increased pace by Lipowitz.

By that logic, Vingegaard shouldn‘t have tried anything on any stage because Pogačar would just counter.

 

[fenns]

Pog clearly had little left - Jonas will be kicking himself he didn't go earlier

 

[ontheroad]

I think it was an exercise in supreme shithousery by Vingegaard, he just didn't want Pogacar winning the stage. The bad blood between both teams continues.

 

[Mayomaniac]

The way people on here talk about the cyclists is mental.....they have just ridden one of the hardest Tours ever and such hard stages with multiple climbs....in their place you would all be in the broomwagon keyboard warrioers

behave !!!

Hardest Tour ever, give me a break!

 

[Jagartrott]

Don’t tell the Pogacar fans that. It doesn’t fit their narrative.

If you're a Vingegaard fan, and you are happy after this sh*tshow, then no-one can help you I'm afraid.

 

[madthebad]

Why is it pathetic? Please explain.

the guy doesnt have a win all race , this was his last chance and he's still afraid of not losing a few seconds to Pogacar . Attack for the stage win mate, do it for the team , for the fans , for yourself, ffs .

 

[Sciatic]

No, he didnt.

You can only say he played it correctly if the goal was to spite Pogacar.

 

[Danskebjerge]

What was it from Vinge?

Pog is leader and just controlled it. He dont need this stage. He got four.

Pogacar was expected to go for the stage win. Vingegaard tried to take advantage of that. The tactic almost paid off.

 

[snipeheem]

Vingegaard has no shame. He wasnt even try once time to win this Tour.

 

[Salvarani]

Massive moral victory for Pogačar, showing Vingegaard that he doesn‘t have the balls to win a Stage if he gets it served on a silver platter.

Vinge got it served on a platter and did nothing.

 

[memyselfandI]

Yawn.

 

[Peyroteo94]

It blows my mind someone trying to defend Vingegaard here, specially when a guy is leading the GC and won 4 stages and the other has 0 stages and nothing else to conquer in this Tour.

 

[Salvarani]

Vingegaard has no shame. He wasnt even try once time to win this Tour.

I’m not happy; Vingegaard did the most logical thing for his chances of a stage win today. If you can’t understand that, than no one can help you im afraid.

 

[Danskebjerge]

the guy doesnt have a win all race , this was his last chance and he's still afraid of not losing a few seconds to Pogacar . Attack for the stage win mate, do it for the team , for the fans , for yourself, ffs .

So Vingegaard should ride the last 5 kilometers at 1,000 watts?

 

[Sciatic]

I think it was an exercise in supreme shithousery by Vingegaard, he just didn't want Pogacar winning the stage. The bad blood between both teams continues.

absolutely

 

[postmanhat]

Onley still only 22 and on a pretty mediocre team. Ineos should be all in for him, but he'll probably end up at Decathlon?

 

[JosefK]

I've always been and will remain a Roglic fan (among other riders I like too). But he might as well give his team and the Tour the finger when he crosses the line today.

Probably Rog's last chance to win a TDF stage, so I can kind of see why he did what he did. ...

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar: *Drops Vingegaard every climb, especially in the final 200m every climb*

Cycling fans: "Why doesn't Vingegaard work for Pogacar?"

 

[will-10]

Vingegaard has no shame. He wasnt even try once time to win this Tour.

God I hate July
