Final startlist Tour de France 2025 (with bib numbers) - Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Van der Poel, Van Aert, Almeida, Roglic & many more!

Thanks, for the unnecessary vulgarity.

I was always taught "Ask a stupid question, be prepared for a stupid answer"

Your answer wasn’t stupid, it was just unnecessarily vulgar that’s all, especially given that in an article practically devoid of text it said starting list 3 times with your preliminary almost hidden in a long list of repeated names not many would bother to look at.

Hope you pay as much attention to the small print of your insurance policy and the like, they may not be as vulgar in answering but, well, one day you’ll remember this ;-)

Obviously not you presumptuous squeek, seeing as the question was concerning the teams presenting 7, 8, or 9. The site has in the meantime upgraded its presentation to explain which teams are defined but that could not be deduced from the number alone unless there is a rule that forbids starting with a team of 7, I expect you know the answer to that but will refrain from sharing.

8 being the max. still doesn’t mean a list of 8 is definitive and won’t change, and showing 9 is in actually in bad taste (if there is hesitation between 2 or 3 riders then just list the sure starters and wait to complete instead of leaving everyone to guess and not be disappointed which name will be crossed off later). But hey, if you need a punching bag too, feel free.

...and for Roglic not to crash out!
