114th Il Lombardia (1.UWT) // 15th of August 2020

[Leinster]

2 on 1 for Astana now, their race to lose

We said that about Trek before the climb. And Bennett’s been on the Jumbo-Ketone diet, he might smash Vlasov on the final climb.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vlasov looks like a Soviet version of Dombrowski

 

[fuiers]

With Kruijswijk's crash and Bennett's form I wonder if he ends up going to the TdF

I think he himself just said the he will have a chance to race in here before going domestique in a few weeks time.

 

[Carols]

Astana's race to lose now.......

 

[jaylew]

Fuglsang to attack, Vlasov only has to stick to Bennett's wheel and sprint, if the three arrive to the finish together

i think it will be the opposite

 

[Broccolidwarf]

A bit of tactical tomfoolery from Trek there

I think it made sense.... trying to ride on the limit, to dissuade others from attacking and to project strength,

Their bluff just got called

 

[Volderke]

Vlasov dropped a bit. Birdsong better waits a bit.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Some really poor tactics on display one again.

 

[Big Doopie]

bennett. go!

 

[Rollthedice]

Tactics? You need legs here, not tactics.

Tactics were great, legs not so much.

 

[Andy262]

Attack George, see what Birdy has

 

[jaylew]

Yes, Bennett is already down for the Tour

 

[Leinster]

Fuglsang is gonna drop Vlasov and kill his own advantage.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsang trying to ride Bennett into the ground, but he seems comfortable sticking to his wheel.

 

[SafeBet]

Not a super fan of this attack by Fuglsang from a tactical point of view.
Ciccone and Mollema not completely blown away.

Would have been great, if Vlasov could stick to Bennetts wheel and counter......

Oh sorry I forgot he already got put in for De Plus, I was remembering their original lineup announced around new years.

 

[woodburn]

He was dropped slightly towards the end of Sormano so which climb do you refer to?

I thought they said he was the last one on when they went over and he seemed to go to the front immediately on the downill. But could have got them confused.

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***, these three are OOZING in bad tactical decisions.

 

[Gigs_98]

How is Bennet's descending btw? Could this be a Chance die Fuglsang?

 

[Big Doopie]

bennett should have attacked to get rid of vlasov.

maybe he couldn't

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I'm guessing Vlasov is actually the fastest on the line, neither Bennett or Fuglsang can sprint to save their lives..... so we may have a rooking winning a monument

 

[sir fly]

And maybe it's just been a bluff to saddle up Bennett that he saw through.

 

[Breezy1985]

The important thing is we keep up on how Nibali is doing

 

[Climbing]

Trek duo ain't far actually.
