Disappointing race from the favorites.

Well deserved win for De Marchi.

Re:

Nice! Should always attack early in this weather!

Nibali back in decent shape!

Lo Squalo swims again.

Don't think he'll be biting this year, but next year should be fine.

Yes, they finished 5th and 6th .

Chapeau De Marchi! BMC ending with a bang - the favs left it too late. Nice work by Woods & Uran for EF.

3rd time this week the favs messed up!

Reichenbach was strong.

Bodes well for next week.

I think they are f-cking up their updates. They showed Woods as 4th about 15 minutes ago.

We don't know yet but Woods was clearly there in the final.

 

[Squire]

It was most definitely Woods.

Careful, I've already been told off for making comments about Moscon.

At the bottom of the final San Luca ascent. What on earth would have been accomplished by doing otherwise?

I saw that, so I thought I'd take one for the team .

WRT the race, it seems obvious that the main contenders played it safe. Conditions were dangerous. Hats of to Mohoric: he fought hard. Brambilla looked "fresh", or at least much fresher than De Marchi. We'll never know what could have been.

Well, as Felline was getting dropped at that point and Brambilla obviously had good legs, maybe Brambilla could have gotten back to the chasing group and gotten a top-10/15 result.

Nice win by de marchi.

I really hope one of Pinot or Bardet wins one of the italian races this week.

 

[tobydawq]

Brambilla DNF...

A carbon copy of last year's race - The parcours suits a brave rider with good legs.

An a strong teammate in the main group.

Re:

Yeah, that was a cruel twist of fate at the end. Mohoric's descending was both scary and awe inspiring.

Aren't Woods and Uran the favorites?

Great to see the eternal attacker De Marchi staying away. He's the only one who deserved it.
