Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 3: Valenciennes – Dunkerque (173.8k)

[scribers]

My goodness what senseless carnage after such boredom

 

[Mayomaniac]

I told this type of stages is made to massive crashes...

El Supercrashico!

 

[Red Rick]

Johnny Milan bottling so hard United wants to sign him.

 

[ppanther92]

But tbh, so many people pushing, using elbows, going from left to right - just chaotic in the run-up

 

[awavey]

Looked like G was caught up in it too, the first one, not the 2nd or 3rd or even 4th crash there...sheesh talk about a finish

 

[titan31]

Those crashes were inevitable.

Most of these guys have zero control of their bikes.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

HORSE

 

[Mayomaniac]

Why in the world do they run a sure bunch sprint finish through a bunch of snaking curves?!?! Almost guaranteeing a crash. Stupid imho

Watch out for Adam Hansen and all the other safety fighters not saying a thing because it's the Tour and there is massive pressure from the sponsors.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

What a sh*tshow.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but sprint stages are stupid.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Good day to Soudal. Merlier wins and Remco has an excuse to drop minutes in the mountains.

 

[Unchained]

That Astana rider drilled his shoulder into the pavement!! Yikes

 

[JosefK]

Horrible stage, though congrats to Merlier. Remco looked quite hurt after one of the late crashes.

 

[Divergence]

I have written about this topic many times but I will write once more: "Sprinting" does not belong in professional road cycling or any road cycling for that matter unless 1v1 to the signpost.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Merlier and Milan invading the picnic.

Let's hope for their safety that they haven't brought any painapples.

 

[Berniece]

Merlier clearly the fastest sprinter, he needed to close gaps solely and still won

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pogacar 19th for no reason. Extremely lucky to dodge that final crash, then.

 

[Didinho]

Everyone could see this happening with these bends. Hope everyone is okay. Meeus back on the bike.

Coquard with a salto. De Lie crash softly over them.

 

[ppanther92]

Was a quite *** stage, I have to say. Apart from crashes, we got nothing, not even a break…

 

[Unchained]

Great call from UAE, Pogacar rolling across in relaxed groupetto

 

[Mayomaniac]

That Astana rider drilled his shoulder into the pavement!! Yikes

Ballerini according to Italian TV.

 

[Faserr]

Being in the middle of the bunch after the 5km is a mistake.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Everyone could see this happening with these bends. Hope everyone is okay. Meeus back on the bike.

Coquard with a salto. De Lie crash softly over them.

Was it Jeannière who went into the barriers over the pair of them?

TTs only. Anything else is too big of a risk.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I thought you are German?? My bad!! I thought that Lipowtz and Politt were on your radar!!

Well I am I just don't understand how any of this relates to noobs and mine exchange about Jesus Christ as a cyclist?!?
And "Über Alles" is, well, misguided to say the least to praise anything German.

Or the run in is 8 lanes wide, completely straight.
