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

[Simurgh]

Birdo doesn't want his mate to be here for too long clearly

Yeah, he wants it himself - slight chance that his "greed" might cost Astana the victory, but Fuglsang should be faster than Bennett in a sprint

 

[DNP-Old]

Why is Fuglsang working?

Because he doesn't want Vlasov to return, yet knows he'd always beat Bennett in a sprint.

 

[TomLPC]

Birdsong wins another, well done

 

[fuiers]

Fuglsang looks so strong. He takes it now.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Why did Fuglsang pull?

He may be soft pedaling

 

[Climbing]

I think Birdsong is actually stronger.

 

[johnymax]

Wow Birdsong so strong

 

[Rollthedice]

And Birdsong on his way to his second monument.

 

[Simurgh]

BENNETT DROPS! FUGLSANG FLYING TOWARDS VICTORY

 

[Cance > TheRest]

JAKOB!!!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Fuglsang is probably the strongest anyway but working when Vlasov is a few metres behind is a strange decision

yes

 

[Volderke]

Fuglsang wins.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

That’s it

 

[Leinster]

Fuglsang eliminating teammates once again.

And opponents now, and off he goes.

 

[Alexandre B.]

This guy will have 2 Monuments in his palmares.

Starting at 34.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Unsurprising outcome given that Bennett wasn't putting much time into Vlasov.

 

[SafeBet]

You don't need tactics when you're from another planet.

 

[bigcog]

Birdsongs !

 

[Carols]

Birdsong singing......

[Leinster]

The Songbird flies higher than the Kiwi? Or some other predictable pun.

 

[Volderke]

Evenepoel is 'OK' but has a problem with the leg. Hope nothing is broken.

 

[jaylew]

That's it. Who would have thought Birdsong would become a 2-time monument winner even 2 years ago?

 

[woodburn]

Jakob! Good for him Second monument. Played it well tactically. Clearly has the most left.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

If Fuglsang pulls this off, he becomes the second best Danish rider ever, together with Rolf Soerensen (both 2 monuments).

I hope he rides Flanders too, he's good on cobbles
