Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 7: Saint-Malo – Mûr-de-Bretagne (197.0k)

Almeida can still top 10 if he recovers. Can't believe I'm happy for having 2 sprints stages this weekend.

 

[Poursuivant]

I am expecting VLAB to cause carnage on St 10, that is a difficult parcours

 

[Ilmaestro99]

A shame to see riders again crashing. Combine that with the same mutants contesting and the stages all seem very similar

 

[Unchained]

Press has zero dignity!! Camera on the guy as he gets medical treatment!! No shame!!?

man is Bob Roll dumb

He is saying Vingo had a good day? He nearly was dropped until Remco did his trademark Koko B. Ware impression.

So he had a good sprint, big whoop. Vingo is in trouble

While he won't beat Pog, he will beat Remco...and he was there the entire time. I think you're seeing what you want to see, not what happened. Jonas is riding very strontly.

 

[Rou]

How?

If he sucked Pogi's wheel I think he has the sprint.

 

[yaco]

Wtf was that from the Jayco rider, didn't touch anything, brakes?

There is a reason why Dunbar has crashed so much. He'll learn next time not to tighten his shoes preparing for the finish.

I'm all in for Almeida in a world of his own ignoring all team orders and Brandon Mcnultying his way to a battling 9th.

I don't think he was in difficulty. He was just caught in bad position. I don't think Vingo had any issues today IMHO.

 

[houtdffan]

He clearly had a day that was 100 times better than Remco‘s. Why do you think he was dropping?

he was barely hanging on when Remco was setting the pace

Only time that happened last year was Stage 18. He was letting half a length open at times

Seems Vingo coming in heavier has helped his sprint, but maybe hurting his climbing and the reverse for Remco?

He will lose time on purpose, specially on stage 10

 

[Unchained]

Gotta suck for follow cars to come up on the crash and those blue socks really stick out!! You know your guys are down from a distance!!

 

[Filippo_3467]

It's sad that it's for this reason, but despite the bad news for Remco, Almeida's crash pretty much secured his podium finish today.

Almeida seemed like Remco's biggest rival for the podium.

I think you have to keep an eye on Jorgensen. With how things are going there will be no real battle between Jonas and Pogi so they won't sacrifice him. They will try to use Yates like today and keep Matteo fresh. Remco has the problem this year that there's no Landa so when Jonas and Pogi are gone the rest will likely settle into a totally different tactical race like we normally see for the win. With no domestique there I think there is a risk that Remco gets worked over by attacks. Especially in stages where Pogi decides that he wants to end the raceing for the day early like on Col de Peyresourde .

And then they got to the flat, which is the demise of Remco and Vingegaard‘s strong suit? Sorry, I just don‘t believe that.

 

[kingjr]

If he sucked Pogi's wheel I think he has the sprint.

Honestly the gap at the end was too big to make me think that. I think it may just have been a case of Remco not wanting the pace to drop too much and end up in a stop-and-go type of situation.

Jonny Vinegar is a new one to me

One from UK cycling expert as far as I remember

He has had some corkers including among my favourites

Eager Banal
Casper Asscream
Zipity Sidecar

Also
Richard Carrier Bag
Eddie Dumbell
The Dismal Rent A Bike

 

[Rou]

Hinault watching the GOAT from up close on the podium. Hehe

 

[Andre]

Remco not quite there yet...he can usually win these type of finishes

 

[Sciatic]

The power duo of Roglic & Lipowitz have really perfected the art of losing time on every stage. Marginal gains losses.

But doing so closely in unison. That’s teamwork!

 

[awavey]

Think he realised he wasn't going to stop in time, and bascially threw himself off the bike?

Impressive skill to do it as you've got to unclip and launch yourself at the same time

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mas started this Tour perfectly by surviving the echelons but has been atrocious since.

Meh, could have been a lot worse. Mas is a pure climber like Gall and the likes and he will be ridingfor a top-5 spot which is still realistic, altho I wouldn't bet on it. The guys he will be fighting are not doing too hot either the first week, and the most important thing is just staying healthy and then the legs will decide on the 6 MTFs.

Hinault watching the GOAT from up close on the podium. Hehe

I’ve seen him scowl at plenty but he genuinely appreciates pogi

 

[Netserk]

I assume they're trying to nullify a bit of Pogacar's punch

Will it work? Probably not, but it's also sort of the only viable strategy.

I think it was more about tiring Pogi's helpers.

 

[Cycling111]

Jack Haig DNF

Buitrago has lots 13 minutes. Hopefully he and Almeida will be start tomorrow.

Did you watch the race in low-resolution on a phone or something? Did we watch the same race. He wasn't in any difficulty.
