Stage 13 of the 2025 Tour to France. And I’m just going to drop the spoiler on you right now. And probably you knew this already. Tad Pogachar Domination adding even more time over his number one rival, twotime Torto France winner Yonas Vingga up here at the top of the Paragu TT 10 kilometers long. A special TT because it’s a climbing TT and Tad put his climbing legs to good use. We already saw some of that yesterday in the Hodokcom and the riding was on the wall today for Paragu. He went out there last in the yellow jersey, slayed his rivals, came home with the stage win and more of a buffer to Yonas Vingaga. And oh hey, this battle for third place Evanapole still occupies it. and the white jersey. It’s becoming closer and closer because for a second day in a row, the Belgian Wonder Kid, well, he was on a stinker of a ride. We’re going to break down all those rides and the amazing ride of team Red Bull here in a minute. I just want to go down the GC because these times are impressive, especially if you’re looking at what Tad Pagachar did today. Well, Luke Plap was the early pace setter out on the day. He held that hot seat for quite some time, smoking through, averaging uh 24.5 kilometers an hour there, thereabouts, and he held the hot seat until the rider started coming through. Primos Raglitch there towards the end and Primos. There you go. He was on a good ride. Now, let’s look at the stage standings on the day before we get into those details because it was Tatty Pagachar coming in for his fourth stage win. 36 seconds around about 40 seconds on Yonas Vaga. Primos Rocklitch with a great third place result there. 120 back 156 back. His teammate Florian Lipawitz. Luke Plap held on for fifth. Matteo Jurison rebounded from yesterday. Two minutes two back. Oscar only on a great ride. the Scottish rider, Adam Yates, Martinez. But you have to go past the top 10 to find the world champion and Olympic champion in the TT. Granted, this is a mountain TT, but one should know how to pace a ride like this. Remco Evanapole 239 back in 12th spot. What does this mean for the GC? Well, it means Tad is in firm control. 4 minutes and 7 seconds over Yonas Vingaga. Ramco having a pull slit back to 724. Florian Leapowitz hot on his heels at 7:30 just 6 seconds off and Oscar on moving up to 811. Primos Raglitch still there in seventh place overall. What we witnessed today was pure Tad power going out there in his TT bike. No, we’re going to leave that over to Yonas Vingo. Tad mountain bike setup. I think from what I could see, we saw the TT bike set up from Primos Raglitch and we saw the TT bike set up from Yonas Vingag. Now, you have to keep in mind we have 10 km nearly all of it uphill around about 8 km averaging 8% with a strong pitch before we get up here to the air strip at 1500 m altitude. They filmed a James Bond film here. They also had stages up here before. Back in the day, it was Val Verde Roman Bardday. There’s a little plaque over there to them. And the last time we were up here, well, as the stage winner of today’s stage, the Slovenian powerhouse, three-time tour to France winner, and riding towards a fourth tour to France title, Tad Pugachar. But the takeaway from this is that Visma, well, their spirits, the camp is still positive. They’re not broken after yesterday. I know we talked about yesterday there was the scrum around Yonas and then Yonas rode off. Didn’t want to speak to the press and we really saw dejected Matteo Jorgensson yesterday. Well, complete opposite today when they crossed the line. Sure, they were down on Tad Pogacha, their number one rival, but they were in higher spirits. We follow them over to the RV. The team’s RVs are up here. They’re not using the full bus because there’s not enough space up here. Not even for us journalists fighting through the fans. And I did a complete sprint from the finish line to get good position for the interview at the RV van. And I tell you, I didn’t need that 16 km run that I did this morning in Lords. Uh you can look it up if you want. Four three of those kilometers were by mistake. I got lost. I was praying for good navigation and my garment let me down. But I knew the way up to the RV there. Yumbo Visma. We all squeezed in there. really everybody was pushing in and Yonas was quite concerned about the whole tent thing falling down. Someone dropped their microphone as I was asking him my question and even after the interview he said man you guys look pretty sweaty and tired. So clearly in good spirits on the day and the takeaway from the two and I asked them are they still in the fight for the overall victory and the answer is yes and that’s the same thing we got from interviewing Seuss on the finish line as well. Now let’s talk about Red Bull Bora Hansroy because Primos rockage. Did you bet your house? I told you to bet your house after the first phase of this tour of to France into that rest day because Primos hadn’t crashed. I took all my money out of Vanguard all the ETFs. I threw it all on Primos. It’s a good bet, right? He should win the tour. Well, I I don’t know. And okay, no, I don’t give financial advice here on these stage wraps. And I didn’t put it all on Primos, but a little bit on him wouldn’t be a bad bet because the way he’s riding, he knocked Luke Plap out. He goes up there with the time that shows he’s a former Olympic TT champion. Impressive. I thought maybe Florian Leapovich would have a better ride today based upon what we saw yesterday in that stage of Toiccom. The young German is still coming on the up and up and he’s the biggest threat for that third place overall and the white jersey. So, that’s going to be a battle. Even if you’re saying this tour to France yellow jersey competition’s over, you can watch the white jersey competition. You can watch the fight for third place. And heck, is this second spot of Yonas Vingga open? Is it open for the others to grab? Drop your comments down below. How do you think it’s going to play out? What’s going to happen over the next days and tomorrow? Well, there’s no rest for the wicked. And looking around, these riders are wicked. the way they rode the course out there today. Some of the toughest bike riders in the world as they should be to one get selected for the team and two being here and racing with the front of the pack. Your pagars, your raglitches, your Venga, even your Benoc Connors, Remco Evanopul, even though we’re dissing him a bit here in the show, he’s riding so strong out there. He’s got his new haircut, but he’s going to want better as we go into the next days. The specifically already tomorrow, the climbing in the Pyrenees. But frankly, what we’ve seen in the last two days from Rimco, that third spot overall is open and you’re looking at Florian Lipitz in that tomorrow. But the biggest takeaway today, King Tad is on top. We saw the domination UAE tour strata Bianke all those one-day races through lies. He comes back in the dolphane, wins the overall and comes here and does what he does best. Wins and wins with grit cuz you saw him hurting in the final bit. But then he’s smiling on the podium. He’s got that Tad Pagotchar charm that we all seem to love. Up here at the top of Paraguay TT mountain TT in the bag and on top tagard 2025 Tur France stage 13.
