58th Trofeo Laigueglia(1.Pro) - Laigueglia › Laigueglia (202k) - 3/3

[SafeBet]

Current situation:

Edet, Mattia Bais and Hollman lead.
Bernal has attacked from the peloton with Ciccone, Nibali, Quintana, Landa, Carlos Rodriguez and a few other riders (approx 1 minute behind).
Group not far but hard to understand who's pulling since most teams have a man with the attackers.

40km to go.

 

[Laplaz]

What a race already, plenty of attacks by the top guns

 

[Escarabajo]

There is good depth on this race!

 

[SafeBet]

Peloton bridges back to the attackers. Arkea pulling now.

Bais and Edet still 40 (?) seconds ahead. Edet looks great today. Hollman dropped.

 

[SafeBet]

Break caught. Great racing and now Dunbar attacks.

 

[johnymax]

Bernal is back
Champoussin very impressive.

 

[Escarabajo]

Quite a race!

 

[SafeBet]

Mollema, Ciccone, Landa about to bridge.
Wow Ghirmay is there too!

 

[tobydawq]

Mollema to do a Mollema?

Ghirmay has really found his shape after looking rubbish in the French races in February.

 

[Bushman]

Ghirmay really loves this race, doesnt he? He was very unimpressive earlier but seems to have found his legs now.

The Mollema special

 

[SafeBet]

Let's see if Bernal has another attack in his legs.

Mollema to do a Mollema?

It was my prerace favorite and i wasn't even sure he was riding

 

[SafeBet]

Incredible ride by Vansevenant once again.

 

[Carols]

What an Animated race!!! Go TGBM!!

 

[Laplaz]

Well done TGBM! Underrated rider, inespecially in these hilly races.

 

[Volderke]

Good that Landa catched Van Sevenant.
You never gift a podium to a young talent from the best team in the world, especially if you're sure you won't get on the podium yourself.
Who knows that team could help you out in a GT on a stage where you have everything to lose!

The ascent was the last chance to close Mollema.
Excellent chase throughout the race.

Trek having a nice season opening.

 

[Carols]

TGBM!!! Trek is on a rol!

 

[RedheadDane]

Trek's on fire these days!
Well, not Saturday, they weren't on any kind of fire Saturday, and not literally. Being literally on fire is bad for your health.

I smell just a little bit of sarcasm here

What a performance from Mollema, he did everything right and chose the right moment to attack. Bernal for most of the race appeared to be the strongest climber but in the end he seemed to struggle to keep a very high pace for long time after an attack. I am very impressed by Champoussin because even if i expected him to be good I didn't expect him to be this good

 

[saganftw]

mollema was always sort of clumsy rider, but recently he turned himself into quite an attacking force

 

[Escarabajo]

I think he found his Niche.
He is starting to look unbeatable in this kind of races.

 

[topcat]

Mollema is a real one day racer, not a flash in the pan like Roglic.
