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

[Samamba]

Probably made it back to the gruppetto, he wasn't losing time to them once the gruppetto had formed and the time limit is gonna be huge.

He is still more than a minute behind the grupetto, but I expect more teammates to drop back once they missed the break and it settles down.

 

[Heston]

He was leading the Peloton just now, now Schmid has to chase

A bit sad if they throw away Schmid's chance of a stage win for that

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jegat was a conti rider 2 years ago at 24

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Simmons has been fairly invisible so far.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Does O'Connor really care about defending 10th? Maybe his team cares about the UCI points but that should be it

The stage win the other day was probably more important, but 10th still sounds much better than 11th and gets you into all the top 10 screen grabs that are shared online afterwards.

 

[SafeBet]

Simmons has been fairly invisible so far.

Think he's been dropped for good hasn't he?

 

[Heston]

Simmons has been fairly invisible so far.

Is he in the peloton? I thought he was dropped long ago

 

[Red Rick]

The stage win the other day was probably more important, but 10th still sounds much better than 11th and gets you into all the top 10 screen grabs that are shared online afterwards.

10 to 11th is probably the biggest drop off in prestige after going from 3rd to 4th.

He was dropped. Bit dumb to waste so much energy yesterday to try to follow the peloton as long you cant to then not have energy in the stage you could actually win.

Van Aert trying to make sure Jorgenson doesnt win!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Totally-not-selfish Van Aert is bringing back the Jorgenson group if he isn't careful

 

[YavorD]

Van Aert trying to make sure Jorgenson doesnt win!

Of course. No one from team Visma messes up with Team Wout.

 

[Rou]

The Picnic DS wants to bully out Jegat from the breakaway...
Where is Polittburo when you need him?

Man will not let his memes be dreams

 

[Samu Cuenca]

10 to 11th is probably the biggest drop off in prestige after going from 3rd to 4th.

Or from 6th to 7/8th if you're Uno-X.

 

[Samamba]

Schmid is not gonna pull this back

Should probably tell Jayco to get a grip instead

 

[Boehmand]

The way the break is constantly kept close, the climb with 65K to go could very well decide the stage.

It's 3.5K with the first 2.8K being 10% average.

 

[Boehmand]

Did PCS just crash for anyone else?

 

[kingjr]

Did PCS just crash for anyone else?

"Sorry, we are experiencing some technical difficulties, we will be back shortly."

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Miracle that Schmid didn't take anyone down with him. In any case, that's Jayco's hopes of keeping the break in check done.

 

[Heston]

Schmid crash. That could be it for the break.

Incredible no one else crashed there

 

[Squire]

Wellens' bluff keeps getting called so he has to close the gap.

 

[Samamba]

Wellens' bluff keeps getting called so he has to close the gap.

Finally. I like Wellens but if they all just fall for his theatrics again I'm gonna go insane

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cofidis started the Tour in meme mode with that KOM sprint and are seemingly hellbent on finishing the same way.
