Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 5: Caen – Caen (33.0k, ITT)

[Mayomaniac]

Vingegaard went straight to the Svingegaard...

 

[Danskebjerge]

In the old days (=a few years ago), you would say that a 13th place for a guy with Vingegaard's BMI was splendid.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Could it be that the course is just too flat and windy for Vingegaard. Remember reading from the OP that the Tour hasn't seen a TT as flat as this in quite some time. And although he is excellent on hillier terrain, Vingegaard losing more in relation to Pog and Remco on a completely flat one is actually logical and not necessarily a sign of lacking form.

It is very telling to be honest. Maybe he didn't practise a lot after the Dauphine

 

[Rou]

See you in the clinic, guys. Allez Pogi!

 

[Pippo_San]

Pogi:
YELLOW JERSEY
GREEN JERSEY
POLKA DOT JERSEY

Sadly NO WHITE JERSEY (LOL). This is amazing.

 

[Salvarani]

Oumi has been allowed in this time around.

Wags running the show

 

[Unchained]

He only rode so fast so he wouldn't have to wear clown polka dot body suit!!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Jonas and Jumbo did something wrong ...he may not have beaten Remco or POg but he shouldnt have lost so much time

Either they didnt practice or they didnt pace it properly ...esp with Jorgenson having a poor TT too

 

[Stablo]

The GOAT Remco!!!! pog humbled!!

 

[Lorzenz08]

GOAT !

With skin suit he would have beaten Evenepoel who did the performance if his life !

Meaning Pogi is NOW THE ITT GOAT

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

There is no way Remco takes a minute on Pogacar today.
Also feel that the people thinking Vingegaard to take time here on Pogacar are very hope driven. Whenever Pogacar had a bad result in something that mattered (Dauphine ITT), he knocked something completely out the park soon later. Wouldn't surprise me if he takes significant time here on Vingegaard and we can all fall into depression.

I think a repeat from last year's first ITT seems quite realistic.
Gonna be brutally honest, a flat for Pogacar would benefit this Tour greatly lol.

Doesn't happen a lot but I can actually proudly quote myself here.
Basically a repeat of last year just with Vingegaard significantly worse. He was probably overrated on a pure flat TT to begin with but looking at his and Jorgensons time, something definitely went wrong at Visma.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

APP with a good TT by his standards, taking almost a minute on Gall. Leadership discussions to come in Decathlon?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vauquelin be like: "at least I'm better than Almeida this time"

Almeida is kinda lucky that the final TT in Switzerland was a MTT...

 

[noob]

Oumi has been allowed in this time around.

Is she usually not?

 

[Rob5091]

Whoever had money on Castrillo beating Vingegaard and Roglic, will be having a good night!

 

[Salvarani]

GOAT !

With skin suit he would have beaten Evenepoel who did the performance if his life !

Meaning Pogi is NOW THE GOAT ITT

Pog the GOAT

What a TT!!! In the polka dots!

 

[Savant12]

Pog clearly better here than in the Dauphine.

 

[glassmoon]

Tour is now definately over. Bit sad.

was over before it even started... another shady era sadly. i'm not even missing to watch RR since more than 2 years ago.

 

[Cycling111]

Pogacar's time trial is slightly better than last year's considering the difference in kilometers.

 

[RedheadDane]

This is AWESOME!

Pogacar being good, or Vingegaard having a bad day?
I might be biased, but I seriously don't get the dislike some people have for Vingegaard.
Because he beat Pogacar twice?
Because he prefers to concentrate on stage races?

 

[dobrien]

The GOAT Remco!!!! pog humbled!!

Not so sure I'd call losing only 16 seconds to the World Champion 'humbled'. Vingo, yes, vingo was humbled.

 

[Mayomaniac]

APP with a good TT by his standards, taking almost a minute on Gall. Leadership discussions to come in Decathlon?

He already didn't wait for Gall yesterday after being dropped by the Gregoire group...

 

[Didinho]

Everyone gonna put some red aero dots in their skinsuit from now on.

 

[pelotonIQ]

The closest Vingegaard will get to yellow is his team kit

 

[Savant12]

He only rode so fast so he wouldn't have to wear clown polka dot body suit!!

I'd wear it every day of the Tour.
