25 clicks and gruppo compatto..... Viviani or Modolo ftw.

 

[FujiAnton]

Viviani wins, pretty obvious.

meh i almost say colombians shouldn't attack in a such ridiculous race...nothing can stop them it looks like.
congrats to viviani,but i would have liked him better to see him in oman with kittel,greipel and cav.not here.

 

[canyonball]

He'll be at the Track World Cup, so no chance anyway. But yes I would like to see that too.

 

[Michele]

Id like to see him at some Classics as well.

 

[Froome19]

Id like to see him at some Classics as well.

I would also but don't think it will happen as he's on the track and is very good in the omnium (gets podium nearly every time) and should qualify for olympics as a result.
Though there may be a problem with the fact that he needs his country to qualify or something that i have'nt figured out (as think if he wants to do omnium he also needs to do the team pursuit with italy) so we may be seeing him.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

I didn't know it was possible to disagree with somebody as vehemently as I do right now.

Italy has probably the best TV and ticker coverage for its domestic scene, or has had in recent years. If even they can't sustain it, then the sport is looking at going down the toilet in those countries that it's going to need when the whole globalisation drive results in the inevitable segregation of haves and have nots, and the races end up like F1 events, with no fans in government-sponsored white elephants serving up sterile racing while the soul of the sport lies in club racing and lower tier events that have been orphaned from the top echelon that they're supposed to be building people up for.

Do you expect the coverage to get better moving forward?
