Tobias Halland Johannessen spent 2146 kilojoules over 2:09h at 16.56 kj\/kg\/h before La Plagne. With the GC group setting a relatively moderate pace, Thymen Arensman attacked early and got away, this time not as part of a breakaway. Tadej Poga\u010dar and Jonas Vingegaard did not concern themselves too much with the Dutchman, as he posed no threat in the general classification. The real battle was between Florian Lipowitz and Oscar Onley for third place and the best young rider\u2019s jersey. Arensman found himself in a perfect situation, as Poga\u010dar did not want to pull too hard as Vingegaard was on his wheel.<\/p>\n

With Onley dropping 2 km from the finish and Lipowitz starting to pull hard, there was a moment where it seemed Arensman might get caught. But with Vingegaard and Poga\u010dar unwilling to gift each other the stage by launching first, they effectively handed the win to Arensman. There were no major changes in the GC, except Johannessen gaining two places to move up to 6th, while Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d, who had spent all his energy in the breakaway, lost 12 minutes and slipped from 5th to 8th.<\/p>\n

Arensman\u2019s performance was actually of very high level, 6.38 \u1d49W\/kg for 45:30 min, and 6.73 \u1d49W\/kg normalized to sea level. In terms of pure watts, it was very close to Poga\u010dar\u2019s effort on Hautacam. However, that stage was affected by extreme heat, while today\u2019s rainy conditions helped with cooling. Arensman was 16 seconds slower than Mark Padun on La Plagne in the 2021 Dauphin\u00e9, where the Ukrainian posted 6.21 \u1d49W\/kg for 45:14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The last mountain stage of the 2025 Tour de France ended with another victory by someone not named…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-292325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114917545406375059","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
