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

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

Ouch!

 

[Tim Cahill]

3 Alpecin, 3 Bora, 4 UAE, 4 Visma?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not sure if a small group actually benefits Visma here, makes a Pogacar stage win more likely.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

A second Thomas in the peloton is confusing me, I keep thinking it's G.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I think Pogi and Vingo showed their intentions a bit. IMO they are eager for some small GC fight, involving other favourites and non-climbers too (MVP and co).

 

[pelotonIQ]

Remco, I think it's time for you to go to the front.

Ye, this will be down to the bone.. Sprinters wasting energy. They wont stand a chance! Im putting my neck on the line here!

It is very frustrating watching Remco; is he simply incapable of getting himself to Pog or Jonas's wheel? Seems like he's never where he needs to be, which is ON THEIR WHEELS.

 

[noob]

Everyone and his mother still left now. I am not sure I dare to watch

It would benefit Quick-Step but they're nowhere.

 

[stianbraathen]

And these kind of stages , they are so exiting. Its not rocket science to design them..

He should ask cadel evans on wheel sucking

Whose mother, and why is she so scary?

 

[noob]

Someone needs to diminish this peleton plz without crashing it out

I assume all the mothers are on e-bikes..? Could get interesting!

 

[Miss Violet Smith]

So far, the battle for the KOM points has been hilarious.

 

[noob]

Because they're riding like maniacs

 

[stianbraathen]

If you can utter the question "who will win; Vingegaard or Philipsen?" on the same stage withouth being laughed at , then the designer of the stage should get a medal also..

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar needs to go on the penultimate climb I think, VDPs <2 minute is better so no use waiting.

 

[noob]

I forgot it's called everyone and their aunties

Ah, very scary mother indeed then.

 

[Brullnux]

I don't think Philipsen making it over the last hill is that surprising, he's been climbing and riding stronger than ever (if sprinting a bit slower – not that it mattered yesterday).

 

[E_F_]

I forgot it's called everyone and their aunties

Are the aunts on motorbikes or what?

 

[Berniece]

Pogacar needs to go on the penultimate climb I think, VDPs <2 minute is better so no use waiting.

He needs to go at all 3, but I don’t think he’ll drop him. He needs to get away with him and make him work like at Dauphine

Ah, very scary mother indeed then.
