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

[Peyroteo94]

People so annoyed by motopacing, however they call 2019 Amstel as a legendary ride by MVP. When he was clearly motopaced

 

[Danskebjerge]

Pro cycling has never been as predictable since Eddy Merckx.

 

[johnymax]

Pogi could have won by 1:30 probably. He was already thinking about FW and LBL in the last 15km, so he took the foot off the gas.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is just a Pidcock classic at this point, no amount of carbohydrates will keep him from getting slaughtered when he needs to follow Pogacar and go deep long way from home. Really needs to work on that.

 

[ppanther92]

Pidcock completely cracked, wonder where the big group is. Or Lutsenko/Kron? Maybe we get a surprising 3rd after all.

The group disappoints a bit. One would have thought with the gap approaching 2 mintes now for Pidcock and organized chase of 10 may be able to still race for the podium.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Vliet gonna join Pogacar on the podium to shield him from the wind.

Would be the sensible thing for him to do, yes.

Flanders Amstel double surely has been done a few times?

3 times bedore Pog iirc

 

[Volderke]

I've never seen Pogacar looking back so many times.
He was clearly feeling the effort...!

 

[Salvarani]

What a great win!

What a great rider!

POG!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pogi finishing a relaxing Sunday ride, fantastic job from Healy!

 

[postmanhat]

Apart from the obvious Pogi demolition, it's a nice top five.

Healy - maybe the biggest surprise of the year?
Pidcock - coming back and should be good for next Sunday
Lutsenko - looks like he's hitting the form of his career?
Kron - finally fulfilling his promise after a difficult couple of years

Not sure if motopaced, but the Alaphilippe and Fuglsang definitely got wrong timing info.

 

[Didinho]

The suspense!

 

[Red Rick]

Every time I see Kron he first refuses to pull then gets mad when the other guy doesn't pull after 15m

 

[Scarponi]

What’s the Astana rider doing lmao

 

[glassmoon]

I've never seen Pogacar looking back so many times.

he was just trolling or faking to look human to the public

 

[Tim Cahill]

Kron and Luts with some additional comedy at the line

 

[Salvarani]

Will Pidcock be able to recover until midweek? He looked like he had to dig very deep in the end.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Fight for third best part of this race.

 

[Netserk]

We do not get to choose our hegemon, but if I had to pick one rider to dominate cycling, I'm quite happy that it's Pogi.

 

[KZD]

Pidcock barely holding off Kron and Lutsenko for third more than 2 minutes behind Pogačar lol

 

[Didinho]

Bagioliii!

 

[ppanther92]

Would have caught him, lol.

Gilbert did it
