2022 Strade Bianche, 05/03

Strade Boring ...am i right? eh?!

 

[Salvarani]

They have to go fast on this section now.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I wonder if Masnada could follow Pogacar like in Lombardia. Shame for cycling he is not here

 

[Mick Dundee]

Race is nowhere near over yet… he’ll get caught

 

[Red Rick]

Optimal use of domestiques on the part of the parcours where they could contribute the most

 

[Velolover2]

Wow! The 2nd place is still in play, guys. Aren't we having fun?

 

[Salvarani]

Lopez... worst possible moment for him.

 

[Salvarani]

Simmons great race today! He likes these roads. Had bad luck last year with a flat tire.

 

[Mick Dundee]

Asgreen destroying the race leaders dreams again

 

[sir fly]

They need to enter the next gravel sector under a minute behind if they're trying to catch Pogačar.

 

[Salvarani]

Asgreen!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Peleton ripping apart might be the best thing for the race, I have more believe in a 5 men group lead by Asgreen to catch Pogacar than a 30 men group.

 

[Salvarani]

Under a minute now... not completely over.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

back under the minute . . .

 

[AlfaLum]

This group only has a chance if Valverde is dropped.

 

[Salvarani]

Narvaez!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is this the 'Pogacar pretends to be human' part or has he actually cooked himself?

 

[Volderke]

Valverde will always be Valverde.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Small chasing group looking round and seeing Bala is still there

[woodburn]

This might be the strongest solo in a one-day race of the current century. Bernard Hinault in LBL comes to mind.

Cancellara in Flanders and Paris Roubaix.
Gilbert in Flanders

 

[Salvarani]

If they can co-operate now...

 

[titan31]

LBL and stage 20 of 2019 Vuelta too. Pogačar is just the best right now. Only a top shape MVDP and WVA could be with him today but is not his fault that they aren't racing.

Tbh, it's impressive but the peleton has very little top or even second tier of the top contenders in it there.

You're missing 2 of the top 4 guys for a race like this in WVA and VDP and the 3rd had a heavy crash. Even of the next tier, theres no Pidcock, Roglic, Bernal, Schachmann, Bettiol and a bunch of others.

You're probably missing most of the top 10 contenders for a race like this either as they're not starting or crashes.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Get ready for a Valverde chase sabotaging special.

 

[Red Rick]

Valverde still there.

Pogacar not gonna be caught

It's not over till it's over..
