Tour de Pologne 2025, August 4-10

[RedheadDane]

So who wants the KOM jersey then for tomorrow?

The National Team, probably.
Could be "won" by whoever happened to be in the front, though.

Mollema, wants it... apparently.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Bauke......

 

[Ilmaestro99]

HUGE attack Mollema this is a big rider. Monument winner. Gt podium. World champion. They won't let him go

 

[Rob5091]

Mollema could n't resist a day in the KOM jersey - chapeau!

 

[dgodave]

Im scared.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

HUGE attack Mollema this is a big rider. Monument winner. Gt podium. World champion. They won't let him go

Don't forget Vuelta points classification winner. Only the best sprinters win that.

 

[Didinho]

Peloton weaving both sides. Was about to happen.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Teutenberg taking Gaviria‘s job

 

[Didinho]

Gaviria angry at Brennan. Had to do everything to stay upright when they collided.

Magnier 2nd. Had to come from far.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good sprint. Congrats to Kooij.

only finished 12th anyway, but I guess Mihkels will get relegated for that late push he got from a team mate

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Where's viviani? Today's stage was his big season goal : (

I don‘t know, maybe he was caught up in the crash?

 

[Samamba]

I don‘t know, maybe he was caught up in the crash?

Yeah 3 Lotto's involved in that crash. Don't think Viviani actually is one of the guys crashing but he did get held up

That being said, they crashed in like 60th position, so were way too far anyways

 

[Potomac]

I was scanning the list of of UCI ranked riders above and thinking about who will take the GC.

Whoever it is, I think the Tour of Poland GC win would be the biggest win of their career.

Upon further review....Mollema would be an exception. I'm sure I've missed a few others.

 

[Netserk]

Behrens and McLay should have made the finish much cleaner, but I guess it is hard to mount a proper train when Kooij won't move up in time.

Brennan stopped pedalling like a fool, way too reckless when those behind you are going full.

Having all seven riders in a train at 7k to go with the sprinter at the back, they were lucky Kooij got up to the front at all, sometimes less is more.

 

[Samamba]

Should be yellow card for Brennan.

Also what Mikhels and his EF teammate were doing wasn't ok either. Almost crashed 2 times.

Saw the last 5.5 km, and especially Behrens seemed like he had no idea where his teammates were.

 

[Keldergoat]

Who were the riders involved in that crash?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Who were the riders involved in that crash?

Viviani, Sam Bennett also finished five minutes back

 

[RedheadDane]

Viviani, Sam Bennett also finished five minutes back

Looks like Viviani did not actually crash. Rather he just finished an anonymously 41st.

According to PCS the riders who crashed were:
Van Dijke and Livyns. (Seems they got up relatively quickly, as they're listed as having finished ahead of Davy, who lost 2:11)
De Buyst, Milesi, Eddy, Kirsch, and S. Bennett.

Mihkels somehow got away with it, but they relegated Brennan, and handed out numerous fines for other stuff. Not attending the Ag2R ceremony is my favorite one.

Maybe the UCI should start hitting Visma and UAE with random fines moving forward.

Anyway the accountants must be pretty happy with the intake today.

I'm assuming they'll fix it eventually but Craps was literally the guy who barely kept himself from crashing with 1.7k to go (he stopped just in time) but is not being put in the same time. Weird.
