2021 Strade Bianche, March 6th

[meat puppet]

WVA just came from Teide, not having race sharpness was to be expected imo. Looks like JA's race to lose.

Simmons crashed

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Simmons crashed

Murphy's law in action.

 

[Simurgh]

Not Simmons’ lucky day

 

[titan31]

Alpecin guy went down and took him out it looked like

 

[Mayomaniac]

Gogl > Van Aert and Pidcock confirmed.
Van Aert is coming straight back from an altitude training camp, so him not being at his best in his first race isn't a huge shock, even if it's a bit surprising.

 

[red_flanders]

Pidcock pretty useless in this pursuit...

 

[spalco]

Simmons crashed

Ouch. Didn't look too bad, but probably painful.

 

[Sciatic]

Not Simmons’ lucky day

Or not the rear tire he’s familiar with (after wheel change)?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Simmons crashed

Unamerican activity from an Alpecin-Fenix rider?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

There is no quit in Van Aert. He just never stops trying

 

[Bonimenier]

Pidcock pretty useless in this pursuit...

He has Bernal in front so not unexpected.

 

[Bolder]

Wout not quite back.

Simmons has an engine, that's for sure.

 

[rehy90]

Murphy's law in action.

yeah, he is the villain and deserves to burn in hell

 

[spalco]

Monster effort by van aert.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wout!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Pidcock pretty useless in this pursuit...

I thought he was just sitting on for tactical reasons but it looks like he’s on the limit. Interesting to see if he has anything in the finale

 

[ice&fire]

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

He's weaving his Giro bag

 

[Simurgh]

Pidcock and van Aert both back in front

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Simmons has an engine, that's for sure.

That's cheating.

 

[Poursuivant]

Bernal looks good this season, Giro is gonna be superb

 

[SafeBet]

Pidcock should attack soon.

 

[red_flanders]

I wish MVDP would occasionally take a pull...

 

[rehy90]

I never root for injuries really, but I have to admit when I saw Simmons slide I kind of felt conflicted..

funny, I like him more and more, maybe because of people like you.

Less than 5 minutes apart.
