102nd Coppa Bernocchi (October 4th, 2021)

[kingjr]

Such a weird race. Surely, Remco is in a league of his own but a lot of teams are showing no interest in this.

This is why:

Peloton will not ride the last lap. Only Evenepoel and the five pursuers will drive the last lap

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I would pi$$ myself if the lot of them decided to climb off their bikes and went for a shower.

I can't find it anywhere. I know they usually show it. It's one of my favourites.

I missed it live because was watching the historic edition of Paris Roubaix instead.

But surely if they'd started pulling earlier, they wouldn't have been in this situation.

That's ridiculous... I really wonder how the group went away in the first place and how Evenepoel went away from the group.

 

[Baldinger]

I'm still not getting used to see this kind of humiliation. We have four riders doing turns but Evenepoel is gaining time like crazy anyway. Both fascinating and a bit uncomfortable.

 

[dercuforever]

Hilarious stuff. He must be happy to have no one on the pannier rack. Energy boost.

It's on tiz cycling

A mass toy throwing from prams and dummy spitting contest?

Marvellous scenes!

What he's doing is amazing, but I think the group, as always sigh didn't do everything they could... with Masnada on their tail especially. It was quite stupid to let these riders get away in that constellation. I get that Evenepoel is the strongest, but I don't think the others are so strong that nobody else could follow.

ITT top 3 in the world tbh.
Alone Ganna was better than most (male) team in the mixed TT. Make sense even 3 people are not match if they are not top ITTers.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They might as well have done the riders a favour and scrapped a lap for everyone here.

 

[Extinction]

Welcome gentle spectators, the peloton has been elimiated, the 5 suvivors are spent. One man is at the command and his name is Remco Evenepoel...

 

[titan31]

Wait, so do the peleton not get positions then?

 

[gerundium]

they just showed remco, was it me or did his bibs looked a bit damaged on his hip? hopefully he didn't slide out somewhere during the race.

 

[topcat]

vuelta time limits are so cruel.

Well, not even Ganna would have gapped the rest of the group like that. It's more than two minutes now.

I think the rain made the differences even bigger today tbf.

This is actually footage of an old Juniors race, with a QS jersey edited into it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remco should switch to a unicycle for the final lap for a laugh.

They probably gave up as soon as he got 15-20sec. No point burying yourself so that Masnada win anyway at the end.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

If it wasn't for Fausto Masnada I wouldn't be interested in this

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I wonder if the rest of the peloton let him win this race as consolation for getting shafted at the worlds.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

@Ilmaestro99 disagrees.

 

[Extinction]

He as lapped 13 World Tour teams. Ok, so it's the Coppa Bernocchi, but he did to pros what he did to juniors.

 

[RedheadDane]

I thought they'd already taken the peloton out...

And Masnada attacks from the chase group.

 

[F_Cance]

can't remember a more boring race this season
