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

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

Thats definitely not the question.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Over or under a minute at the finish?

Under

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

Hopefully right now during the final lap, just to keep things interesting.

 

[Netserk]

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

+2'29'' for the chase group.

Top-5 is locked.

 

[topcat]

Oh yeah, obviously more talented. Probably going to catch Pog now that Pids isn’t slowing him down

 

[Salvarani]

Pidcock done!

 

[Divergence]

Bravo Healy

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Chapeau to who called Healy dropping Pidcock.
Edit- It was Volderke, nice call.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nice attack by Healy

 

[Bolder]

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

Guess the answer to my own question is no...just realized I was watching on a few minutes delay...

 

[Netserk]

Luts now the favourite for 3rd.

 

[ppanther92]

Longest solo win in Amstel Gold Race . Pogacar would make it 36.

YEAR	WINNER	SOLO KMS
1997	RIIS Bjarne	35
1989	VAN LANCKER Eric	30
1988	NIJDAM Jelle	30
1976	MAERTENS Freddy	25
1974	KNETEMANN Gerrie	25

 

[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.

I told ya.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Healy remembered the EF team prep talk before the race and is now fired up to catch and kill Pogacar.

 

[Red Rick]

Pidcock Brexiting the chase.

 

[Salvarani]

Healy remembered the EF team prep talk before the race and is now fired up to catch and kill Pogacar.

If he kills him, maybe he could heal him too.

 

[ppanther92]

Pidcock running out of gas.

 

[Didinho]

When Pogi first went, at the top Pidcock took a (bidon and) gel from an EF guy. If you had problems earlier with digesting food, I would recommend to stick with your own food.

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar's body langauge is literally "wow *** I'm actually getting chased"

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Man I like this Healy kid. He had really good espoir results, but the kind that implied smart and strongish rather than this kind of beast.

 

[Eeslliw]

Lmao Ineos really thought they stroke gold with Pidcock and Sheffield being in the front group with Pogacar.

 

[johnymax]

Healy the next Pogačar confirmed. Catch him now you young champ...

 

[Samamba]

The scenes when Healy catches him.

 

[Volderke]

If that time gap is the real one, 21s between Pogacar and Healy isn't all that much!

 

[Tim Cahill]

I had assumed the Settimana level was just super low but maybe Pozzovivo and Padun being equal to Healy on the hills were just in better form than I thought.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Hey Healy's not that far back.
