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

[Netserk]

C'mon, Primoz! Today you show the world who is the strongest, eh!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic trying to make one final appeal to the lord jesus christ, he's not going to help you now son.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Lipowitz said yesterday that if he has good legs he'll push for it today otherwise he'll let off quickly. Bit hard to tell after T1 what it is.

He's as fast as Polit with apparently worse wind. So I guess he's going for it.

Gall +57 T1, not too horrible

How do you know that? Jesus definitely would root for an underdog and waking up the dead is at least a hint at helping also the old

Could definitely be worse. Am not watching yet. Is it a technical course?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Everyone with long sleeves, Pogacar with short. I don't get it...

 

[red_flanders]

Weird to see Wout like this. Miss him crushing everything in the Tour.

No

He has been worse than worthless so far.

Head games with Remco. Whose arms are more aero now? 😂

 

[Peyroteo94]

I was wrong, this TT will have big gaps. Wind is strong and is slowing down the final riders

 

[Netserk]

The white cross is back for Vingegaard ...

Had time to grow some aero skin in the Dauphiné TT.

I didn't see a sign of that, but it's a beautiful life.

I only saw a Spanish article about it earlier on, and the "moto cross" part indeed was and incorrect translation, by the look of it.

Here's the original interview:

Being at the Tour de France wasn't in his plans, he was surprised in June when he got the call. "There wasn't enough time to do any altitude camps or anything by the time I found out. So, I was just back home and we actually did motor pacing almost every single day leading up to here.

INTERVIEW Luke Plapp | "I haven't even looked at the stages" - Australian on Tour de France debut, post-Giro preparation and support for Ben O'Connor

Team Jayco AlUla are coming to the Tour de France supporting Ben O'Connor's GC ambitions and Dylan Groenewegen's sprinting goals. Stage wins, however, should be the priority - and with a rider like Gi...

He planned to go to altitude which I assume happened. he did do lots of motopacing. Fun fact, he is the only rider in the men's team who has his own coach and is not coached in-house.

Rogla to neg split is still going really fast!

 

[Kedjan]

Bullet in the air - chasing yellow!

Remco in short too

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Remco going out like that bear from Tour of Sibiu is chasing him

 

[yaco]

looks like the wind has changed quite a bit meanwhile. Schmid lost 1:15 to Affini in the 1st half, nothing in the 2nd. More or less same for Dunbar (although a bit worse).

It seems like the wind has changed, however, Schmid was not going flat chat because he has his eye on tomorrow's stage.

Remco in short too

Aero skin

Vingo could pack a hardware store in that helmet.
