[Rollthedice]

This is the kind of race which separates men from the boys.

 

[BigMac]

Evans is indeed down.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Yeah, tough tough day especially with the race distance and competition...

Heavy rainfall still.

 

[rhubroma]

Indeed this is becoming an epic worlds. Torrential rain, the passage beneath the Duomo, the climb to Fiesole and the descent to Via Salviati and then Via Trento.

It will be a real war of attrition under these conditions!
Live coverage from 9:30 AM, first beer at 11:30 and the Worlds meal will certainly involve some Tuscan reds. It's better than the damn Palio di Siena!

 

[Lexman]

where do you guys watch the race????

@Italian posters

What does Freire say?

Basically: Italy riding very good, Spain riding very bad. You need to be in front to avoid crashes and save energy. He anticipates Italy going full gas sooner than later and causing havoc.



Atapuma, Evans, Barguil among the riders down.

Pozzato with a mechanical I think.

Typical Mediterranean warfare.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Some transponders dont work. Nibali and Gesink for instance
