  • Arensman Does It Again | Stage 19 TdF

    Arensman Does It Again | Stage 19 TdF
    Jul 25 2025
    • Originally planned as a 129.9 km Alpine queen stage from Albertville to La Plagne, including the Col des Saisies, Col du Pré, Cormet de Roselend, and final summit finish.
    • Due to a last‑minute outbreak of nodular dermatitis in local cattle, organisers shortened the stage to approximately 93–95 km, cutting out two climbs. The start was delayed to about 14:30 BST.
    🚵 Early action: Breaks and Attacks
    • Shortly after the revised neutral start in Albertville, Primož Roglič attempted an early attack, bridging with Valentin Paret‑Peintre and Lenny Martínez—an aggressive move that ultimately fizzled as the GC group reeled them in.I
    🧗 Mid-stage: Climbs and Conditions
    • Riders faced two key climbs: the HC Col du Pré (~12.6 km at ~7.7%) and the 2nd‑category Cormet de Roselend, before descending towards La Plagne. The shortened course and cool, rainy Alpine weather added extra drama.
    ⚡ Final climb & winning move
    • With ~12–13 km to go on the final ascent to La Plagne, Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) launched a decisive attack, escaping the GC group including Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, and built a small gap.
    • In the final meters, Vingegaard and Pogacar were closing fast, but Arensman held on to win by just 2 seconds—earning his second Tour stage victory.
    • Emotion poured out from Arensman at the finish, calling the win a dream after taking on cycling’s biggest names.
    🏆 GC and classification wrap‑up
    • Tadej Pogacar retained the yellow jersey, with a slightly reduced lead of approximately 4 minutes 24 seconds over Vingegaard with two stages to go.
    • Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull‑BORA) held third overall, just ahead of Oscar Onley, who continues to impress as a young GC hopeful.
    • Pogacar also kept the King of the Mountains (KOM) and polka-dot jersey, showcasing his all-round dominance and smart, measured riding.
    🧠 Strategic Takeaways & Talking Points
    1. Arensman’s savvy timing and courage to attack on the final climb, even with the GC men looming.
    2. Pogacar’s calculated control: he didn’t challenge for the stage win, but maintained pace to protect his lead.
    3. The impact of the diseased cattle outbreak forcing a dramatic last‑minute route change—and how riders and teams adapted.
    4. GC context: Lipowitz vs Onley battle for third; Vingegaard’s attempt to chip away at Pogacar; and Roglič’s fading gambit.
    5. Weather and terrain factors: shorter course, rain, cooler temps—how that influenced tactics and rider performance.

  • Milan Sees Green as O'Connor Flies High | Stages 16&17 TdF

    Milan Sees Green as O'Connor Flies High | Stages 16&17 TdF
    Jul 25 2025
    Stage 17 delivered chaos and courage in equal measure. In torrential rain and greasy conditions, sprinters battled for supremacy on the road to Valence.

    A late crash inside the final kilometre shattered the sprint train, but Jonathan Milan stayed upright and surged to his second stage win, tightening his grip on the green jersey.

    Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard avoided the carnage, preserving their GC positions as the peloton edged closer to the Alps.

    Stage 18 was the Queen Stage—and it lived up to the billing. With over 5,400 metres of climbing across three brutal ascents, including the infamous Col de la Loze, it was a day for the mountain goats.

    Ben O’Connor launched a daring solo attack and conquered the summit through hail and heartbreak to claim a career-defining win.

    Behind him, Pogačar once again distanced Vingegaard in the final kilometre, extending his overall lead to 4 minutes and 26 seconds.

    Meanwhile, young Scot Oscar Onley matched the GC giants pedal for pedal, closing in on a podium spot with just days to go.
