On to the Final Mountain TdF25-129
This is the last mountain stage of this Tour and the peloton of the elite are just now hitting the final climb in the Alps. Well, actually, the final HC climb of this years' Tour de France. Jhonatan Narvaez (UAE Team Emirates) looks back to make sure his team leader, Tadej Pogacar is still on his wheel. He is. Right on the wheel of the Maillot Jaune is Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) wearing the Maillot a Pois on loan from Pogacar. Vingegaard has little hope of pulling back over four minutes to move into first, conversely, he has little worry that anyone will pull back over four minutes on him either. The final step of the podium is a different matter altogether. Massing behind are Aurelien Paret-Peintre (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale) riding for his team leader, Tobias Johannessen (Uno X-Mobility), and Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost). The stage ends at the top of this climb up La Plagne, so the final podium will be much clearer at the top in about eighteen kilometers.
