Two sports facts that just bug me for some weird reason: A Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1993 and a Frenchman hasn't won the Tour de France since 1985...I'm always happy when the French get their stage win at least. The Tour means so much to them.catsrback76 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 11:59 pmDoesn’t compare obviously to the Miracle in Missoula and the Tucker Yates hit…but it’s something!BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 9:14 pmFrench guy winning on Mont Ventoux-he'll never have to buy a beer (or glass of wine) in France for the rest of his life!Common Cat wrote: ↑Tue Jul 22, 2025 4:17 pmGreat stage.

A Canadian team had their shot this year and "Coug'd It", such is life...BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Wed Jul 23, 2025 9:35 amTwo sports facts that just bug me for some weird reason: A Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1993 and a Frenchman hasn't won the Tour de France since 1985...I'm always happy when the French get their stage win at least.

Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

Re: Tour De France 2025
One more mountain top finish with several categorized climbs thrown in, BUT, this tour is won! I fully expected Jonas to attack early and often with Visma, and while the team played a great tactical game, they didn’t have the legs to break Pogacar. In fact, I felt that Jonas was happy to take 2nd on the stage and 2nd in the Tour. Tomorrow is his last chance to win…but I don’t think he has the fire this year. He’s done great…but it’s not the best that he needed to do to win this year.
