Col du Pré, Cormet de Roselend and the final climb to the Tarentaise station, the last alpine act on Friday July 25 between Albertville and La Plagne was shortened due to a nodular dermatosis home (bovine viral disease) in the seizure collar.
It plagues for him, it is not new, but a little more true since yesterday and the arrival in the Tarentaise station, the last summit of the Tour-2025. Tadej pugacar of his yellow throne now sees very clearly the legs of the Tour-Eiffel, the friends friends of the Champs-Élysées and the legendary smile of Amélie Poulain. Paris, this summer again, reaches out to him.
On the truncated stage of these farewells in the mountain, he allowed himself, to see, after a large number of Tim Wellens relayed by the AG2R (two, Aurélien Paret-Peintre and Callum Scotson to do the job of Bruno Armirail and allow Felix Gall to further improve his position), counter an outing of Arensman in the last ascent. Vingegaard carrying the red peas of his master accompanied the movement, the Dutchman did not really like before returning and then flee, the first two of the general being taken up.

Pogacar, Vingegaard, Onley, Gall, Lipowitz, Healy and Johannesen, the cream of the Tour was able to pose for the photographers (well soaked on the ascent) in the last quarter of an hour while Kevin Vauquelin, already not very well on the top of the Cormet de Roseland, alone at the back, let the time flee and, temporarily, his beautiful seventh place (he had lost the sixth the day before). The Norman really appreciated the presence of Clément Berthet in front of him, to end this new difficult day; He also tasted the spectacular unscrewing of Roglic allowing him to keep, finally, his morning position.

The very playful old roglic has lost; not lipowitz
Seven kilometers from the finish, on an ordinary acceleration, “Pogi” thanked a few guests (Johannesen, Healy, Gall) and only tolerated his Dauphin, Oscar Onley, and Florian Lipowitz, the square of AS of this 112e edition. Onley left her last white hopes there. We then thought that he had the bouquet of the day in mind (you realize, he has not won since the time of Peyragudes!) But he probably preferred to see the Dutchman again that the Danes who had not left his wheel but ahead of the yellow jersey for the first time. Bonifications deducted, the boss of the Visma resumes two seconds to his executioner; Since the big departure of Lille, it had never happened.

It is said that with age we fall back in childhood. Primoz Roglic, venerable Tour veteran, boxed and worn out has become very playful again. Leaving Thursday towards the mists of the Loze, “the other Slovenian” put it back yesterday on this “stage” shortened between Albertville and La Plagne, with the final podium as a goal. With him, Lenny Martinez (for fun, he won the peas of the Col du Pré without touching the slightest can), and the hero of Ventoux, Valentin Paret-Peintre. Beautiful sequence, but paid cash by the former ski jumping who did not digest his efforts and finds himself this morning eighth more than twenty-five minutes of the head.
One of the affairs of the day is for Tobias Johannesen who wins two places and should finish sixth in Paris, regularity rewarded.

And then there are the sobs of Thymen Arensman, exhausted but crazy about La Plagne. Condemned to be joined in the last kilometer, he benefited from the “Guéguerre” between the two Cadors. Released from the Pyrenees as a winner in Superbagnères, he left the Alps in the same position and is not likely to forget the flowery adventures of his first Tour de France, at twenty-five. Arrested just after the line he almost caused a “historic” fall when an assistant came to recover it to push him, but “pogi” is not only the strongest he is also the most skilful.
