[Samu Cuenca]

Guys... I'm an idiot... I completely forgot that I had to keep an on Italy as well...

Longo Borghini won.

I'm not sure your eyes would have been able to determine the winner anyway

Now, but I could have watched it.
Guess I wasn't exactly short on races today.

Do they not have to ride in their club team jerseys anymore?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Skjelmose demolished the opposition, but he was riding on the team of Pedersen and QS got a bit unlucky there as well. Still, he's in monster shape right now and I am very happy that the jersey will be relevant in TdF - especially in the mountains. For some reason, I remember riders like Klödi, Ullrich, Mancebo, Vino etc. very fondly in their NC jerseys.

As always in Aalborg, great route, and hella hot. Like uncomfortably hot at times.

Pogacar not dropping Mezgec is pretty funny. As in, you see he's taking it easy, waiting after the hill, and just being a bro

Cavalli was wearing hers both today and in the ITT, but I think ELB left Fiamme Oro last year.

Nice to see Cavalli continuing to come back to form.

Here in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium and France the road might be melting due to the heat, but in GB they managed to catch rain and wind storms. Max Walker, Conor McGoldrick, Oliver Rees, Harrison Wood, Joshua Golliker, Mark Donovan still leading.

Wait, what? There are Italian WWT riders who also ride for club teams?

Stereotypes of it never not raining have to be kept...

 

[Tim Cahill]

There's no way that Fred can possibly *** this up, he's in the best form of anyone here and has done relatively minimal effort for how hard the race has been.

I think Pog is only doing the road race because Dr Milan insisted he needed more zone 2 training

Mark Donovan now solo

Pogacar seems to be doing it easily, while Mezgec is suffering.

 

[yaco]

Dygert who did by far the most work still outsprinted the sprinters in the final.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Mark Donovan now solo

he was the class act in that front group, but still a long way with 62km to go... wright, c.swift, knox, shaw, doull, williams, watson, flynn etc in group behind still.


I think wright knox or shaw will win to narrow it down a bit.

 

[DNP-Old]

This is silly. Pogacar is effectively braking so not to drop Mezgec.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Any more hills left in Slovenia?

 

[Aimar16]

Smart of him to want to decide it in a sprint. At least he'll have experience of how his wrist is holding up.

 

[Lequack]

Maybe he just has a good poker face.

 

[Samamba]

So is Pogacar just going to gift this to his friend or what is this?

Toughest hill with parts of 20% is yet to come. And at this point, Pogacar would drop Mezgec on a 1% incline if he wanted to.
