Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 8, Saint-Méen-le-Grand-> Laval, 171.4k

Pogacar pushed Jorgenson and made him miss the bottle from the feedzone. Didn't get why he was pushing Matteo there, but looked weird.

Sounds like big bully behavior to me

some stuff from the pre stage interviews:

- van Aert plans to skip the sprint
- Picnic will go for Lund
- Alecin will sprint with Groves
- Meeus wants to give it a go, if the legs feel okay. Favorites are Milan and Girmay, he says
- Skjelmose thinks the finish is perfect for Milan
- Steels thinks the finish is ideal for Merlier

Can you show a video? I didn't see anything.

Jens going for the Victor Campenaerts look?

Sounds like big bully behavior to me

Sounds like they’ve resorted to wrecking pogi to win

 

[Tim Cahill]

Visma should make it hard

Not because it makes any sense, but just to stay true to the gimmick

Everyone going for a coffee ride today.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wait, is that actually a real stat? No Italian stage wins at the tour since Nibali?

Sadly yes...

Almeida interview:
- the rib is broken, it's not a fracture
- left hand is still in pain and he doesn't know yet if he can break and handle the bike properly
- the team told him he could continue or not. It's his choice
- he'll take it day by day, but he won't stay if he is unable to help the team.

 

[Red Rick]

There's actually low key a reason for Visma to go hard, and that's to see if you can get Almeida to abandon straight away

I'm not seeing but what is the difference? (As you know english is not my native language so you can say in portuguese if you want)

Eddie Dunbar DNS, another victim of the big pile up yesterday.

 

[Rou]

Pog on the back protecting Almeida. He is a kind bully isn't he?

 

[Stablo]

Can you show a video? I didn't see ananything.

It was when there was 14,8km left. Didn‘t see it live either,but someone mentioned it on X. Nothing too big, but surely a bit weird remembering the "beef" between UAE&Visma.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Dubnar's record of crash DNFs is getting ridiculous at this point

I think fracture is just partial broken, but I could be mistaken.

It's been 38 years since the last Irish win at the tour. What's another year?

Pog telling Almeida to park it. I don't need you, I'm the immortal demon.

 

[Poursuivant]

Brian Smith saying Roglic just playing the waiting game. Like saying Inter were playing the waiting game against PSG going 3-0 down. 5d chess 🤪

Ben Healy won two days ago or what im i not getting😅or you mean GC? That's a almost impossible for any current Irish rider anyway.

 

[Didinho]

They’ll have to find some weird random people again for the combative award this weekend.

Maybe Almeida today.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Is there any wind today ...maybe the stage could be saved by wind ?

If Pog pushed Jorgenson then that is serious...He might have an issue with Jorgenson as every time Jorgenson goes Pog goes after him , not his team mates but Pog and at points where there is no immediate danger

GC. Winning a stage is like getting a gold star in kindergarten.

Ireland, like Slovenia curiously had 2 all time greats in the same time.
How did this happen, I will never understand
