Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 2: Lauwin-Planque – Boulogne-sur-Mer (209.1k)

[E_F_]

Its the next cat 3 climb where the action will be, its a small narrow cycling path uphill with 15 percent parts.. Cotè Saint etienne au mont..

that's a pretty wide road...

We're either worried about wildfires or earthquakes here. Had a 5.2 in 2020 that freaked everyone out. I've been through a 7.5, and I have no desire to ever experience that again. You all be safe out there.

Same same. We are lucky enough to have an air base for tankers, so we get fires locally, knocked out pretty quickly...most of the time, anyway.

Looks like Vinge, Pog, Jorgensen, Mvp day to me..

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wout is not very Woutish to date.

 

[Didinho]

Philipsen got that 20+ yellow jersey stats boost.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They won't be happy about using Wellens this early but Narvaez is still there who will be the most important.

 

[stianbraathen]

that's a pretty wide road...

Thats not what the driver in front relayed back..

 

[RedheadDane]

Wout is not very Woutish to date.

Personal experience?
Also, he's married...

Remco disappeared from the front when the road turned uphill

Not encouraging at all

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Phillipsen impressive!

Depends what you mean. I'd argue this is on brand lol.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

It's obviously not the decisive hill but Philipsen did look really good I think?

 

[KZD]

Now the stage really started.

30-40 men group in the front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Remco lucky, out of position again but managed to reach the back of that huge split.

 

[Prim]

Remco disappeared from the front when the road turned uphill

Not encouraging at all

Made the same observation. Was it because of bad positioning again or is the form just not there?

 

[Red Rick]

Van Dijke being Roglic' best teammate uphill, as everyone expected.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Phillipsen impressive!

Was

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Philipsen just outclimbed Wout, what kind of *** is that?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Milan dropped again.

Vingo wearing pogis polka back on the menu

 

[Red Rick]

UAE and Visma very kindly reducing the peloton to a size where Roglic can position himself in the top 30.

 

[BubbaChuck]

wellens and narvcaez in hills are gonna be monsters.

 

[stianbraathen]

Made the same observation. Was it because of bad positioning again or is the form just not there?

He only looks down at the tarmac, bad omen..

 

[Samamba]

With this tempo early on it will be in pieces later on
