Re:

Flare attack.

Riders must really enjoy breathing all that smoke when they're gasping for air anyway...

 

[jaylew]

What do you guys think, anything worth watching going to happen on the Cipressa or do I have time to go out for breakfast tacos before we see any real action?

Nothing will happen on the Cipressa that doesn't come back before the Poggio. IMO.

 

[Netserk]

The slaughter is about to begin First blood will be drawn already at the bottom of Cipressa, when the jets will ready the peloton for takeoff! _O_

An attack that will get caught before the Poggio. If you call that action.

 

[Gigs_98]

Sagan without any teammates around him

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Rovny attacks......

 

[Irondan]

Sagan without any teammates around him

As usual. That won't slow him down...

 

[MikeTichondrius]

This is the kind of cycling I know and love. Not the shameful madness of PN.

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder how this race would be if the put in the Pompeiana instead of either the Cipressa or Poggio.

 

[woodburn]

GVA and Gilbert. They're not waiting. Hopefully this excites things.

 

[Irondan]

Luke Rowe looking very strong! Maybe he finally wins today...

 

[Irondan]

Dangerous group forming with no Sagan.

Out of curiosity, was the Pompeiana ever actually run in MSR before? Or did they just ponder using it on that one preliminary route? Why'd they take Le Manie out anyhow?

 

[Irondan]

Anyone but Matthews... Please!

 

[woodburn]

Cav dropping.

Tom D on the front.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Major Tom floating in a most peculiar way up the Cipressa.

Don't think it was ever used, but it fits right inbetween the Poggio and Cipressa, and is I think about as hard as the Cipressa. Think Pompeiana-Poggio would be good.

Or just say *** it and alternate year after year, to make sure the race doesn't get figured out in 2 editions

 

[Irondan]

Sagan hovering at the front.

lol! And he couldn't even close the gap.

OUch! lost my feed! ugh... Back to the frankenstien broadcasting network...

Re:

Why not? Because he is similar to Gerrans?

 

[DNP-Old]

Gaviria still there.

Re: Re:

I dunno why I don't like him, I just don't. Maybe it's because he's so good?
