2020 National Championships

Correct, the wall was just used on the penultimate lap. Formolo should have attacked earlier on the final ascent even if Bagioli was setting a high pace. Solo attack by De Marchi with 13km to go and freaking Formolo working for Ulissi with at least 3 faster guys in the same group...

UAE is clueless today.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nizzolo takes it.

 

[SafeBet]

Nizzolo
Ballerini
Colbrelli

Was that a mechanical for Nibali with 1k to go? Looked really weird

Is Saronni himself working on the team radio? Clueless like durning the old Lampre days...
Congrats to Nizzolo, but how strong is Bagioli?

Yes problems with his gearing I believe.

Nibali moral winner would've won sprint

A monster.
Ballerini really threw it away, probably thought he'd won? I don't know what he was doing.

Valentin Götzinger - who the *** is that? - won in Austria. But the most impressive feat has to be Brändle:

10	BRÄNDLE Matthias	Israel Start-Up Nation	3		,,
11	BRÄNDLE Matthias	Israel Start-Up Nation	3		,,

Alaphilippe attacking!

Julian is free!

And Kometa/s Garavaglia finished 9th, he and Battistella were both also pretty strong.

Austria often comes down to a numbers game when the circuit is a bit easier. Rather few teammates for the wt guys, so if all the austrian ct teams have a guy in the breakaway it's game over.

Actually he had the mechanical while attacking.

Demare was fantastic.

 

[carolina]

Amazing victory by Demare.

 

[KZD]

Demare is in a really great shape.

Groupama should taking him to Tour.

 

[RedheadDane]

Demare wins. Which, weirdly, will mean no French Championship jersey at the TdF.

 

[Wvv]

Ballerini really threw it away, probably thought he'd won? I don't know what he was doing.

What happened?

 

[BlueRoads]

I did not want Démare to win, because I thought it would be an over-mighty team bringing him that, but in the end he was just incredibly strong, closed the gap himself and absolutely deserves it!

 

[Red Rick]

RIP

[Tonton]

Bravo Nono! Coq 2nd, Alaf' 3rd.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pippo organized the whole thing, so of course we get podium girls innhigh heels and short, black dresses.

Yeah, FDJ were definitely playing with unfair teams. I mean... four man in top-10, that's just silly...

 

[SafeBet]

What happened?

He lifted his front wheel a couple of times 20 meters from the finish. It was weird. Would like to read his comments about it.
