I think it's Alfred Swift, the South African.

Would make more sense. Ben Swift is way too old!

Great attack by Petit-Breton!

He could be a future Tour winner!

Alaphilippe in difficulty. Can barely follow the peloton.

What's an old guy like Alaphilippe doing in this race anyway?

Interesting to see this pontoon section riding though the Mediterranean. The small waves creating a mini pump track is really adding a different dynamic to usual.

Makes you wonder why Roglič doesn't give this race a go. He used to be a surfer, after all.

Porte, otoh, would be a distaster here. What with his unfortunate aquaphobia...

This race needs more KM. Look at the size of the peloton! They should add an extra 150 to 200 km to make things more selective.

That was reportedly the reason why a transfer to Acqua & Sapone fell through in 2009.

I heard rumours about adding a loop up the Col d'Eze next year

I've heard they're planning to rename it to Milano-La Planche des Belles Filles to attract Pogacar.

It's even grown since the beginning of the race!

Grown over history or grown today? Unknown distance race would be interesting

I can't believe they stopped the whole team to wait for Sam Bennett and bring him back. Like he'd have a chance if it ends in a sprint.

The peloton! There are more riders in it now, than when they started!

It's not hard to see why DQS rarely win any races.

With PDM sitting close to the front, i feel it could be a good day for any one of them

 

[Bonimenier]

Bettiol solo!

Will the others see him back before the finish?

 

[johnymax]

What an attack from MvdP on Poggio! We were waiting 7h for this but we certainly weren't disappointed.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Impressive from Chris Harper to get on the podium of yet another race

 

[johnymax]

Amazing win from Stuyven who wins with a gutsy attack..., oh wait

 

[Gigs_98]

Wild to think Pedersen thought about not even racing today. I knew someone from a team like Trek without a top favorite could win with a late attack after the Poggio when everyone else is looking at each other.

It must be because you decided to watch the race, that we got all those attacks before Poggio. In the end Pedersen was just too strong.

Yeah, but I don't understand what Trek's got to do with this; it was Casper Pedersen who won.
