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

[Boehmand]

Can we have a poll about that?

Only after we've had a poll about whether we should have a poll about it!

 

[Boehmand]

Trek is doing the same as yesterday, nobody gets to go until the sprint - and then all hell breaks loose.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It‘s great that they‘ve neutralised these first two uphill kilometers through the forest for no reason

 

[Boehmand]

Roglic to go early on the final climb today, in order to put pressure on Picnic and allow Lipowitz to chill on Onley's wheel.

 

[Valv.Piti]

What a joke this green jersey competition is lmao, we have a 80 km stage guys

 

[Samamba]

This green jersey "battle" really turned out to be bad for the race

 

[Boehmand]

Team competition may come into play for how UAE rides today.

They are 14 minutes behind Visma, if they can cut significantly into that today they can have a shot at it by sending someone in the break tomorrow and giving it a lot of time.

 

[AmRacer]

80 km attack today? 🙃

 

[E_F_]

Great day for people who don't own a tv.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Everyone and his mother in the break today inc the mayor of Albertville

i have the wrong day ..I thought it was Saturday

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Everyone hold on to their seats, intermediate sprint is coming up in just 7-8km!

 

[Boehmand]

Without Vingegaard, Pogacar would be in the proces of winning his 6th Tour.
Without Pogacar, Vingegaard would be in the proces of winning his 5th Tour.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Feels a bit like a post-tour criterium

Pogacar and Milan to lose an sprint against Froomey on the mountaintop

 

[Red Rick]

Ow golly, I see the ASO once again changed the time limit before the stage again, because just imagine the time limit actually meant something.

 

[AmRacer]

I mean
Sure
Why not
Eh

 

[Didinho]

Just got home.

HAS ROGLIC ATTACKED YET!!??

 

[AmRacer]

Ow golly, I see the ASO once again changed the time limit before the stage again, because just imagine the time limit actually meant something.

They changed the length

 

[ice&fire]

It‘s great that they‘ve neutralised these first two uphill kilometers through the forest for no reason

They've neutralised them for a reason: not to drop the contenders of the starter sprint

 

[AmRacer]

Just got home.

HAS ROGLIC ATTACKED YET!!??

After the sprint

 

[broppo]

Omg, it is clear that Red Bull has again absolutely no plan for today. We will see how it goes says Lipowitz.

 

[Red Rick]

They changed the length

The time limit is a percentage for a reason.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The time limit is a percentage for a reason.

What are the new time limits, I can‘t find the information?

 

[AmRacer]

The time limit is a percentage for a reason.

Yeah, but a shortened stage means more difficult with same time limit percentage

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Ow golly, I see the ASO once again changed the time limit before the stage again, because just imagine the time limit actually meant something.

It was a 2% increase for this stage when the regs came out last month. Is there another increase today? Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Valv.Piti]

At least the sprinters wont be gifted a stage in Paris for no reason after all the time limit shenanigans

So thats good. Make them suffer into a 52nd place on the Champs
