Tour de France Femmes 2025 (July 26th- August 3rd)

[Samu Cuenca]

Do we know when GC action starts?

Around 3 hours ago.

Gigante should drop AvdB now so that AvdB catches her on the descent.

She listened to you. Unfortunately, Anna is so cooked she is losing time quickly enough that Sarah is going to still be miles off once Anna gets there. And she probably loses 4th to Włodarczyk now, not just the podium to Demi and Kasia.

Van der Breggen doesn‘t „need to prove nobody to nothing“ and it shows.

Some of us have enjoyed reality biting after the shenanigans of last year.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Some nice hairpins coming up

 

[memyselfandI]

Absolutely gorgeous descent!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Fisher-Black absolutely refuses to attack Wlodarczyk

 

[Red Rick]

Vollering and Niewiadoma seem to have agreed to just pace and make the podium.

Vollering and Niewiadoma seem to have agreed to just pace and make the podium.

I think they'll fight out the small gaps between them on the last ascents. There's 1400m at 7% and 2200m at 5,5% in the finale, they'll battle out those lower podium spots there but they're happy to ride this on and get the podium spots here. There's no means by which to gain the time they need on Pauline, and there's no merit in attacking each other here, or risking the podium by sabotaging the group, so I think they'll just have a little set-to between the two of them over the last few kilometres.

What’s the time cut percentage for today?

What’s the time cut percentage for today?

20%.

Lmao, they're gonna celebrate Jeannie are they?

 

[dobrien]

Lmao, they're gonna celebrate Jeannie are they?

And Phil just referred to Bernard Thevenet as "Bernard Hinault".

Phil, please call it a day!

 

[Red Rick]

4th in GC slowly being donated back to Gigante.

They have to celebrate what they've got. At least they're not trying to convince people that racing didn't exist before this race came about.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

And Phil just referred to Bernard Thevenet as "Bernard Hinault".

Phil, please call it a day!

The German commentator referred to Thévenet as a stage winner in the 80s which is a weird mistake.

 

[benzwire]

Phil just said Bernard Hinault instead of Bernard Thévenet with Jeannie Longo. Oh Phil....
At least he didn't say Adri VdP again

 

[Libertine Seguros]

They have to celebrate what they've got. At least they're not trying to convince people that racing didn't exist before this race came about.

This is true, they have been doing that for many years until they have a chance to get patriotic.

But the fact of the matter is that Longo has been disgraced, so pretending like nothing's wrong, they may as well show Armstrong when Pogačar rocks up to Paris next year.

 

[Ripper]

Lmao, they're gonna celebrate Jeannie are they?

Oui! But of course!

And here's an attack!!!

 

[dobrien]

Kasia hurting? PFP looks easy.

edit: Had that one right... ;-)

 

[benzwire]

Antler man is going to injure someone someday

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Visma had to do something to match the UAE comedy show.

 

[AmRacer]

GC action

 

[Red Rick]

"ok bye"

 

[Ripper]

Visma had to do something to match the UAE comedy show.

PFP definitely giving it her all there
