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

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.

From what you wrote in the previous message, it seemed like you'd seen it.

So it's just a Twitter comment. And we already know that most Twitter comments are exaggerations.
Pogacar, as a leader, has a camera, so if it is as they say there would be images

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

Almeida is in his cocoon right now. People will shine with happiness when he opens his butterfly wings in 5 days.
Thanks to the power of modern medicine of course.

 

[Cycling111]

It's a great day to watch Giro d'Italia Women.

The best we can hope for today is for Jorge to attack Pog to wind him up.

 

[Rou]

I want to see Roglic in the leadout today. Because he doesn't care, eh. Definitely.

 

[topcat]

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

Not comparable at all, really.

 

[Rou]

Is the stage hard enough for Rabobank? Or they need to send black nose Campenaerts to stretch his legs a little.

 

[Poursuivant]

Becoming more and more a thing this, not having a single person in the break. The sprint teams might think it’s good right now but there is zero spectacle for this type of race, never mind on a weekend, it will see less and less sprint stages in GT’s.

No, today they are hoping Pogačar falls asleep and falls into a ditch.

Lol, i have seen it geez 😂i didn't see/notice it live I said. I watched it again after someone mentioned it. I cant record a video from HBO Max where I watch the Tour and share it here. It was at14,8km, you can check for yourself. Nothing too big like I said, but definetely was pushing which made Matteo miss his bottle. Nothing from the UCI of course.

Nice one, just saw it. Foolish antics but I'm glad he didn't get a yellow for it, shouldn't really put your hands on someone like that unless it's to help them but it didn't seem to endanger anyone.

It's like my under 11s football manager used to say, don't give the referees a decision to make.

I don't know why this stage is at a weekend. Absolutely shite for tv viewing. If need stages like this, put them on a Tuesday and Wednesday when no one cares

Yes, they shouldn‘t have taken the detour to Brittany this year, at first I thought it would be ok, but now this weekend is just really boring during the Tour de France.

 

[Didinho]

Coquard to save his 56th place against Ackermann and Meeus in the intermediate sprint.

They could also have solved the issue by not putting the TT so early, so they actually had two ways of getting to the Massif Central this weekend.

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

I suspect this is a similar injury to the 2024 UAE tour. Has an issue with his wrist, although its not fractured or broken. Get him ready for the Vuelta because the shape is good.

 

[E_F_]

Danish comms: "Jordi Meeus, winner of Copenhagen Sprint. None of us has mentioned him as a candidate for today's stage."

 

[ice&fire]

USA Cycling should ban yellow patches on Captain America jersey

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

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

Maybe Almeida today.

Or the viewers who actually watched. Or the Jury awards it to itself for not falling asleep during the stage.

So, here we are.

Might as well post some silly pictures.

Guess I have to join the dog-pile here....what an atrocity for a Saturday. I understand the geography of France presents challenges not faced by the Giro and Vuelta organizers but...wow.

So, here we are.

There's not a lot of activity in here for a TdF saturday stage thread...

I for one find it very difficult to focus on typing and posting when I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next...

The evening of Saturday, typically considered a time for social activities such as parties, dining out, or attending events.

Damn, how times changed, nobody even cares nowadays.
