Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 9: Chinon – Châteauroux (174.1k)

[Red Rick]

This stage may or may not lead to an international incident between the Netherlands and Belgium.

 

[Peyroteo94]

They’ll get him a bike and pull him back to the group

Half of the team is 3 minutes behind

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rickaert bonk

 

[Peyroteo94]

Visma will prevent a win from the break

 

[Cycling111]

5 Visma and Pogacar alone in the group.

 

[Red Rick]

This reminds me of Cancellara pulling that solo Tony Martin break back for absolutely no reason other than a big personal *** you

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Has there been a front-on shot of the Alpecin breakaway the entire day?

Why would there be?

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is where Pogacar has to use energy and what Visma are getting at, he isn't at the front but having to constantly position yourself alone in these conditions takes it out of you.

 

[Netserk]

Visma will prevent a win from the break

By pulling on the front?

 

[jono]

Why would there be?

Front of peloton has been getting a moto-pace for the last 50k

 

[ppanther92]

MvdP solo? Cause Rickaert looks totally spent

 

[Didinho]

This reminds me of Cancellara pulling that solo Tony Martin break back for absolutely no reason other than a big personal *** you

The National Championship 12 vs 1 loss against Mathieu still hurting Visma.

 

[Netserk]

Affini to do a death pull.

 

[ppanther92]

Consonni has to ride already

 

[Unchained]

Do they have to award combativity before the end of the stage? Because of MVDP wins he should get the consolation prize.

If they give awards for dedicated teammates, riding like animals, giving 1000% , riding like champions, Visma being punks, Trek toasting Simmons for nothing, Vingegaard pulling.. Alpecin will get all the positive recognition and hand out awards for racing like stooges!!
MVP wins today regardless of what the finish order!! He has more class than the rest combined!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel has been up front with nobody most of the time I've seen him

 

[Danskebjerge]

Great battle breakaway vs peloton today

 

[ppanther92]

But Visma is a weird team, I have to say…

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

MvdP solo? Cause Rickaert looks totally spent

Yeah, that dude is dying 1000 deaths right now.

 

[AlpRaid]

remco with zero teammates around him, following Visma instead.

 

[ppanther92]

Yeah, that dude is dying 1000 deaths right now.

But maybe sticking together is still faster, tough call

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nice little disruptions

 

[Sciatic]

Looks like a substantial tailwind here

 

[Pippo_San]

ROFL...GG to the UNO-X guys 😅😅😅😅

 

[Tim Cahill]

Go on Remco attack them back
