Nice weather for a nice 'GranPiemonte'. One day I'll get to this part of the season not exhausted enough to finish this one...

Either he is sandbagging, or any hope of lombardia is out.

 

[insideout leadout]

No he's just realizing it's not as fun being another Joe in the ordinary BMC kit....I believe this was his debut in a RR.

Are you saying Cuddles isn't a chance?

Not hard enough. Mauro should be able to make it and sprint ftw.

Or too hard

I'd say he's got a case of CBF.

It must be semi-serious though as it's the first time I can remember him DNFing in years.

 

[insideout leadout]

What's CBF?

 

[Ferminal]

What's CBF?

Can't be farked.

 

[insideout leadout]

I see....thought it was a medical term at first

 

[ingsve]

I wonder of Hushovd has a shot at this. It might be too hard though and I'm guessing he might be a little exhausted from all the attention since Worlds.

The final hill comes a bit close to the end imo. I think it's Gilbert's race to lose considering he can drop anyone in a hill like that.

He has DNF'ed before in his prep for Lombardia.

 

[Jamsque]

Ahahahaha the break just got caught and passed because they took the wrong exit at a roundabout. Great job, race organisers.

 

[Anonymous]

Farcical situation. The lead group had over 5 minutes, took a wrong turn and are now behind the peloton

 

[insideout leadout]

Cuddles last tweet makes me hungry.

 

[hrotha]

Was the breakaway likely to succeed?
Oh wait, no one's watching this and you're all going by the ticker, I assume, so your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Nick C.]

Is TGBM still with the mortals or has he left them in his wake??

 

[Jamsque]

Gonna be a sprint.

 

[Jamsque]

Google translates 'ultimo chilometro' as 'last mile'. Way to go, google, way to go.

 

[Jamsque]

Ha vinto Gilbert! Secondo Bertagnolli, terzo Breschel

 

[Anonymous]

Gilbert wins again, Bertagnolli second, Breschel third.. Race will be remembered for the farcical case of the breakaway getting lost though

 

[Ferminal]

Well that just confirms that they are going to have to drop him before San Fermo if they want a chance of beating him.

 

[insideout leadout]

Nice win from Gilbert....yeah he's the man to beat on Saturday.

 

[theyoungest]

1. Gilbert
2. Bertagnolli
3. Breschel
4. Pozzato
5. Devenyns
6. Finetto
7. Pozzovivo
8. Mollema
9. Uran
10. Pietropolli

TGBM is in the top-10! Maybe there's still hope for Lombardy
