102nd Coppa Bernocchi (October 4th, 2021)

In a race was of course what I meant.

No, when you're racing, you're racing, and can't take a day off. Especially not in a one-day-race that you - I pressume - want to win.

True.

I have learned in the MvdP thread, that some riders only bother with races they eventually end up winning.

Following via PCS stats live tracker and gap gone out to 3m24s to the peloton. With the conditions and bigger races ahead in the week I doubt anyone in the main bunch really has the appetite to go deep and bury themselves to try and bring this back.

3'24" Ineos pulling for Hayter, do we have pictures of the remaining peloton?

This was the most recent ascent of Piccolo Stelvio (near the bottom) in the peloton:

They've almost completed a full lap after that, though.

Languishing in the wake of Fausto Masnada

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Damn, the regret is real. I could have been there witnessing history in the making, the turning point of Remco's career as Fausto's loyal gregario.

 

[Bonimenier]

Never a dull race with this kid. Something special in that Poel blood.

Since the ticker first said Ineos pulling in the peleton the gap has extended by nearly a minute so they don't seem very effective.

Hopefully he stays on the bike so no pool of Poel blood will emerge.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Gap up to 4 minutes, so Deceuninck can start shifting their focus to avoid having to sprint with Covi.

 

[BlueRoads]

So, is anyone watching it? Or are you following the ticker?

 

[Red Rick]

Honestly Remco is the better Poel he doesn't get 3rd in a sprint vs Colbrelli

Following the live-ticker. No images yet...

Hope the gap becomes big enough so they can start attacking each other before the end of the hilly laps

The gap is already big enough for that for Evenepoel.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fausto is one of the most aggressive and exciting riders in the peloton. Who can forget his many attacks over the last 4 years in italian races. Froome and Vincenzo have experienced it first hand.

By that time Masnada and Evenepoel are playing ping-pong in the hotel's basement.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Over 4 minutes, 80k to go. Done and dusted.

 

[SafeBet]

Puppio gone, only 5 left in the front group.

Edit: apparently he's back.

 

[titan31]

Covi should be be the best sprinter in that group if they come together. Would imagine Remco will attack again though

 

[Red Rick]

Has Evenepoel tried to go solo yet?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

If they want to finish 1 & 2/together, then Masnada has to attack first. Nobody is going to ride after Fausto with Evenepoel in his wheel. When his gap is big enough, Evenepoel can attack.
