Stage 19 of the Tour de France 2025 did not change the name at the top of the classification, but hierarchies confirmed and consolidated positions. Two days after the closure in Paris, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates-XRG) continues with the yellow jersey well adjusted to the body. Jonas Vingegaard (visma-to bike) cut ground symbolically, but continues more than four minutes. And the young German Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora) ratified his podium in the general, in what is already the great revelation of this edition.
The day between Albertville y la plagne It was intense, with just 93.1 kilometers and more than 3,400 meters of unevenness. Thymen Arensman (INEOS Grenadiers) took the spotlights with a solo victory after a measured attack, but behind him, the fight for the podium was also news.
Vingegaard and Pogacar crossed the goal with only two seconds of delay with respect to Arensman, showing that none is willing to give in anything, although the general seems determined. Lipowitz, on the other hand, ended fourth in the stage, six seconds, which strengthens it as the best in the rest.
The general, almost sentenced
With only two stages to be played, Pogacar leads the tour with a total time of 69 hours, 41 minutes and 46 secondsfollowed by Vingegaard to 4 minutes and 24 seconds. The difference is comfortable, but not definitive. Stage 20, with broken profile, can still open holes if someone is encouraged to risk.
The provisional podium is completed by Lipowitz, to 11:09. They are followed by Oscar Onley (12:12) and Felix Gall (17:12), in a general where the distances are already deep and the legs, fair.
This Saturday, stage 20 (Nantua-Pontarlier, 184.2 km) will be the last great chance for the adventurers. Four scoring ports and a broken profile invite the escape. Then, only the parade for the Elyseos fields in Paris will remain. But with Pogacar firm at the top, it seems that there is no room for surprises in the fight for the title.
