2021 Strade Bianche, March 6th

[titan31]

Back to second group, anyway, but seems like they might get back.

I don't think they will. Too much arguing amongst them now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Gap gone out a little again.

 

[Bonimenier]

So... Bernal is surprising me. I know he 's done MTB in the past, but i didn't really expect him here.

Looking good for the Giro stage.

 

[titan31]

If I was Gogl there, I would be half assing any turn at the front or skipping entirely. If I was VDP though too, I'd also stop til teammates get on.

 

[spalco]

Imo more often than not the chasers fail to catch up in a situation like this (in big one day races), but it's real close.

 

[RedheadDane]

Over 20 seconds now.

 

[jaylew]

What a group.

Last 2 Tdf winners
Current World Champion
2 monument winners/ Cyclocross World Champs
1 Neo-pro multi-discipline super talent

Gogl has to be pinching himself. Simmons also before the flat.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Michael Gogl is the only rider up front who has won neither a world title nor a Tour de France.

 

[SafeBet]

Ok, not if the chase group just stop for some reason

Too many teammates of riders in the front group.

 

[Sciatic]

Glad it’s not raining—the heli shots are awesome!

 

[spalco]

Michael Gogl is the only rider up front who has won neither a world title nor a Tour de France.

Wasn't he top 10 in this race last year already though?

 

[F_Cance]

don't like Simmons but that's really *** for him and the viewers. Was really looking forward how he compares against the biggest names.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert suddenly gone.

 

[Eshnar]

Van Aert

 

[armchairclimber]

POP

 

[titan31]

Oof WVA hit the wall

 

[Simurgh]

WVA exploded

 

[Krokro]

Okay I'm French and not objective but... You gotta hate or love Julian, he's such an awesome showmaker

 

[Winnen]

Okay I'm French and not objective but... You gotta hate or love Julian, he's such an awesome showmaker

I am not French, but why won't you love him? If you like cycling then a rider like Julian is what you want to see imo.

 

[jaylew]

Gogl still there but no WVA and Pidcock. Wow.

 

[KZD]

Gogl is being monstruous today.

It seems that Van Aert will really have his peak only for Flanders and Roubaix

 

[spalco]

Okay I'm French and not objective but... You gotta hate or love Julian, he's such an awesome showmaker

Oh yeah, and it's not just showmanship (usually), you let him go at your own risk.

 

[RedheadDane]

(Not sure these are the exact words...)

Lloyd: We have the road World Champion, the cross World Champion, a former Tour Champion, the current Tour Champion, and - errr - Gogl.

Anyway; the Fuglsang-group is definitely out of the game.

 

[Bubba]

Gogl still there but no WVA and Pidcock. Wow.

Surely the race of his life.

 

[Eclipse]

Wow Bernal is up there? That's not what I expected to see tuning in
