Amstel Gold Race 2023, one day classic, April 16 (men's)

Nice to see breakaway making it from time to time.

Time to repost that classic:

 

[Peyroteo94]

So predictable this race. He is so superior, so insane man. I don't have words. Other cyclists may feel they are amateurs riding against him.

 

[HelloDolly]

Wish Pog could pretend he was weaker until nearer the end so we can have a race ...

 

[topcat]

Is Phil not going to be on the motorcycle on the Cauberg? This race is very disappointing.

 

[Salvarani]

What a rider!

 

[Savant12]

Only Remco can save us from boring LBL.

Swap a 30km Pog solo for a 30km Remco solo? Does that make it less boring?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

23s counted

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Did Thanos take G3? What happened to them

At least we'll get 230km of wondering who it's gonna be

 

[Rob5091]

You are welcome

I clocked it at 28.5 km so I think you get the "Post of the Day" award.

Seeing Pog riding with #51, I get Merckx vibes
Seeing Pog do a bike change and killing the field, I get Cancellara vibes

 

[CyclistAbi]

Likely only Jonas, Remco and Rogla could stay with Pogi today. Or should i say Tadey.

Well, Evenepoel, MvdP, WvA or an in-form Alaphilippe should at least be able to match him closer than what competitors sowed today. In that sense also a bit of a weak field.
On harder routes Roglic still also a factor, I guess.

 

[Red Rick]

How far from the finish will Pog start taking beer from the spectators?

 

[johnymax]

Remco himself usually makes the race boring. Unless there is a Roglič going against him...

 

[Savant12]

I get Cancellara vibes everytime Pog flies up the Oude Kwaremont.

 

[Netserk]

Over or under a minute at the finish?

 

[Vino's Mum]

Ok, so Pidcock isn’t at his best, but Tadders didn’t even seem to be trying too hard when he got the gap. Then didn’t bother looking back as he knows how strong he is.

 

[Volderke]

If Healy rides a bit smart, I could see him drop Pidcock who is probably still a bit under-raced and vulnerable with the rain and distance.

 

[Red Rick]

Over or under a minute at the finish?

I'll take the over because Pidcock and Healy will probably *** around more than Pogacar.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nice of Pog to grimace for the cameras at least

 

[Eeslliw]

Well I hope Remco won't be dropped that easy and show at least some resistance. Or at least other teams will try to make it harder for him instead of even assisting him like today.

 

[Bolder]

I'll take the over because Pidcock and Healy will probably *** around more than Pogacar.

Question is if Healy is satisfied with a podium. And if they can actually catch Pog...

 

[Netserk]

+31'' and +1'15'' at the finish line.
