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

[proffate]

Pogacar should really just soft pedal to the finish line now just to show the lack of adventure from Vingegaard. But he won't because he won't be able to help himself in attacking to try win the stage.

Well he did, but I'm not sure what the point was, since Pog is the one who lost the stage win.

Unless he was actually on a bad day, but if that's so he has an amazing poker face.

 

[Poursuivant]

Never seen anything like that.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Beautiful win for Arensman!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

As I said the other day and the usual fanatics were laughing at me ...Pog is looking tired

 

[titan31]

Absolute losers again at Visma. Stage win up for grabs and Vingegaard didn't even try

 

[Sciatic]

What the f...... was that? I believe Vingegaard didn't attack earlier because he didn't want to give Pogacar another win. Good for Arensman, but they just let him have it. Jeez. What a disappointment denoument for this Tour

 

[Danskebjerge]

Best mountain finish so far. A Vingegaard stage victory would have been the icing on the cake.

 

[Stubb]

So happy for Arensam, sometimes the bravest is rewarded.

 

[Brullnux]

I've never seen a yellow jersey look so unhappy?

 

[Unchained]

UCI cycling sheppard almost takes out Pogi!!

 

[nightowl]

Hahaha Jonas tried to snatch the stage win at the end

 

[madthebad]

Pathetic by Vingegaard , that's how you sprint for the win ? what do you have to lose mate ? shameless.

 

[Escarabajo]

The first gift was OK. The second, not so much.

Having said that good for Arensman. Chapeau.

 

[iBanesto]

Vingegaard screws it up by doing nothing... didn't even try with Arensman in sight.

 

[Red Rick]

That was up there with the most pathetic final mountain stages ever from a GC perspective. Fitting end to this year's 'battle'.

Vingegaard played it correctly today.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Absolute losers again at Visma. Stage win up for grabs and Vingegaard didn't even try

What, you expect him to attack and get countered by Pogacar? Be for real.

 

[dgodave]

Vingo takes 2”. Tour is wide open!

Theres 3x Le Col de Montmartre to add to his 2" here.

 

[Salvarani]

Well, what was that from Pogačar?

What was it from Vinge?

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

 

[Kangaridoo]

Hilarious finish. The finish this Tour deserved.

Tour just went from a 3/10 to a 2/10 rating

 

[RobertCrawley]

Poga cooked.

Jonas too. They were on the limit.

 

[fenns]

Pog wrestling with some guy after the line what was that about?

 

[Rackham]

Hah, Vinge and Pog becoming the embodiment of "live long enough to become the villains".

What a pathetic display. Sucking all the joy out of the race and losing the stage anyway. Well done Arensman, great win. Well done Lipo for holding that near-crash as well.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Vingegaard played it correctly today.

I‘m sorry, what?

 

[ontheroad]

Ineos must have something on UAE, that's twice they refused to attack Arensman now to allow him win stages. Brain dead stuff from Visma too, Vingegaard left his attack about 300 metres too late but it's just not his nature.

 

[slim charles]

This was... Kinda weird. I guess Pogačar wasn't feeling great. Probably Vingegaard didn't either, can't believe he would not even be willing to risk losing a bit of time to try to win the stage.
