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

[memyselfandI]

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

Might? Might!?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Danish TV2 just playing a pre-stage interview with Pogacar saying he has never been to La Plagne

How is that even possible, knowing this stage was on the Tour menu?

He knew the race would be over before this stage.

 

[Stubb]

???? Also Lipowitz isn‘t alone in the Peloton

Right he has one teammate to be dropped before la Plagne. What can he achieve with this attack, tire himself so not to help the young german? If Bora loses the podium it's on him.

 

[Gargamel35]

Uae and Visma greedy for another stage win so others have no chance.

 

[Valv.Piti]

A lot of domestiques have one good climb in them. Contador going nuts on the Telegraphe in 2011 led eventually to 50 guys getting to the base of the Alpe d'Huez together.

But but but Telegraphe and Galibier are two seperate climbs!

Roglic really unlucky with his raids so far. Gotta feel for him

Uae and Visma greedy for another stage win so others have no chance.

Visma are literally doing nothing even though they have nothing to lose, this is just not true.

What is leknessund up to though?

 

[Red Rick]

People complain about too few sponsors in this sport.

But as long as Uno-X is a team, there is always one too many

 

[Rou]

Uno pulling to knock out Vauquelin?

 

[OJRvE]

What is leknessund up to though?

Distancing Vauqelin for Johannesen

 

[Samamba]

What is leknessund up to though?

Trying to crack Vauquelin. Johannessen needs 2'15 on his, that's too much on La Plagne alone.

 

[AlpRaid]

omg, peacock is so nauseating.

ligget -- after decades and decades -- still does not understand even one bit about the sport.

and now they are trying to say rog is basically going against team orders to attack. un-effin'-real.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Uno pulling to knock out Vauquelin?

The Northern destroyer Leknessund has had enough of his Southern features...

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic did a very stupid attack, let's be honest.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wow, the sky looks pretty angry with all the dark clouds

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Uno X distancing Vaquelin is not the main story I was hoping to get from this stage.

 

[Gargamel35]

Uno x is really useless.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Roglic did a very stupid attack, let's be honest.

Ah well, it was at least fun to reminisce for a while though back to when he still would have had a remote chance.

Thank you for bringing the ‚only five teams should race‘ perspective again…

Roglic did a very stupid attack, let's be honest.

Maybe he thought Vingegaard would still try today and ride up to him but he was wrong

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Loving Alex Dowsett on ITV

 

[OJRvE]

Uno should make a deal with UAE to help them in the valley instead. I think Leknessund will tire himself now and UAE will just let Vauquelin back in the valley when he is done

 

[staubsauger]

Karsten Migels claims it doesn't matter if it rains climbing upwards. Maybe he should tell that Jan Ullrich! 🥊

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

Roglic did a very stupid attack, let's be honest.

I think it was fine to go hard on the climb and see how it shakes out. But it shook out just about as bad as possible

 

[Red Rick]

Thank you for bringing the ‚only five teams should race‘ perspective again…

The way most teams race it's not even wrong.

Less is more

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Uno X distancing Vaquelin is not the main story I was hoping to get from this stage.

well, the vinge vs poggi battle was dead on arrival.
