Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 20: Nantua-Pontarlier (184.2k)

[Didinho]

Thought he would maybe win a sprint after Philipsen’s DNF, but making this solo stick would be impressive. He looks strong.

 

[burning]

This tour has been very entertaining form start to finish, lol

 

[Heston]

Groves absolute beast today

 

[Red Rick]

Alpecin winning would surely be one of the nauseating outcomes I feared today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Stewart is either incredibly cooked or incredibly stupid

Why would VDB work there

 

[Didinho]

Everyone gifting stages away like 2025 Pogi.

Alpecin winning would surely be one of the nauseating outcomes I feared today

Why? I actually prefer Alpecin winning today, happy to see more teams having nothing going for this Tour

Edit: I would love to see Wellens win somehow, it would be even more entertaining for me

 

[Samamba]

I actually find it somewhat hilarious. All these teams that haven't won anything here and they just gift the win to a guy from Alpecin

This last Tour week has been beyond stupid.

 

[proffate]

Groves absolute beast today

Australian Wout

 

[nightowl]

Never seen 2 riders G2-syndrome their way out of G1.

 

[Salvarani]

Groves can complete winning a stage in all GTs

Because they're some of the most consistent sprint deviation and roadblock abusers in the peloton

 

[RedheadDane]

I suppose everyone could use some Sun Systems today.

 

[burning]

Because they're some of the most consistent sprint deviation and roadblock abusers in the peloton

Still, they are at least doing something, which cannot be said for 10 teams or so

Tadej Pogacar: "I am paid to win races"

Jake Stewart: "I ain't getting paid enough to win races"

 

[yaco]

Alpecin winning would surely be one of the nauseating outcomes I feared today

Not for me. I am rapt that Alpecin took Groves to the TDF because he's at the level. Too often teams don't take riders to the TDF because they don't 100% fit in to the team's strategy.

 

[franic]

Stewart, Jorgenson, o’Connor…what the hell were they thinking today?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Van den Broek not even trying to do anything, blew it as well

 

[ppanther92]

Van den Broek not even trying to do anything, blew it as well

True

 

[Tim Cahill]

Get your head down and ride Jordan ffs

 

[Cycling111]

Gr Jegat is the most read thing on this Tour.

 

[franic]

By the way, if they stop going behind Groves, Jegat might not make it… it’s 40sec difference in the GC now

 

[nightowl]

Groves can’t believe his luck, didn’t even need to attack they just let him have the stage.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic has been consistently in the first 5 of the peloton, he's finally finding his legs and will come when they hit the mountains next week.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Can we talk about the amount of braindead moves in the span of 45 minutes?

- Wellens and Jorgenson neutralising each other out of contention
- Romeo deciding steering was optional and taking Grégoire and Velasco with him
- Stewart and Van den Broek taking a leaf out of Wellens and Jorgenson's book when they were in a group of three that was fighting for what would have been a career highlight for both

More and more convinced that shedding brain weight is the new fad to increase W/kg...
