Tour de FRANCE 2025

[meamoantonio]

soooo Jasper Philipsen just won the first yellow jersey, who are your favorites to bring home general classification champion ship, polka dot, cgreen and white?

[Zviedrs]

Exciting three weeks ahead!

But what a an unfortunate stage for Philipsen yesterday ...
He would have been my favorite for the green jersey, but now I'll be rooting for Jonathan Milan.

• Yellow: Vingegaard (not impossible)
• Green: Milan (should be a tight battle vs. Girmay)
• Polka: Pogačar
• White: Skjelmose (but more likely it will be Remco)

I don't have any favourites, but the racing has so far been incredible. Some truly gladiatorial stuff by the 'bosses' at the head of the peloton.

[meamoantonio]

is it just me or is this year's TDF more exciting for some reason? MVDP and Pogi tie followed closely by Vingegaard win the GC is keeping me on my toes haha

[Zviedrs]

Pogačar powered to his 100th career pro win yesterday, crazy achievement at the age of just 26.
But I was surprised how competitive Vingegaard was in the final sprint.

The level of fitness the last few years is incredible. Ben Healy out pacing Van Der Poel for 25k. Dedication to training almost year-round. G Thomas 🚲 inspiring the team in his last TDF. ALLE!

Flat stages are no longer boring!

Oh yes, this was a crazy stage, a poetry in motion! MVDP & Rickaert duo had a fantastic performance, and I was rooting for MVDP to hang there until the very end. Eh, but that's cycling!
It was the second fastest group stage in the TdF history with the 50.013 km/h average speed!

Happy for Ben Healy (yellow shirt). He's one of the most fun riders to watch in the pro peleton; explosive, tenacious and determined.
Well deserved rest day for the riders.

So close for Healey again today. Ventoux is a beast. ⛰️

I've finally caught up with all the highlights. Ben Healy is in beast mode! The clash of two titans is a joy to watch, and their speed climbing up the Ventoux - oh boy.
Tadej has a solid lead now, but Vingegaard isn’t letting go. We might see Tadej crack a bit at some stage during this last week, but not enough to lose 4 minutes.
