Canadian Classics 2023

[nightowl]

In this case, I think it was also a matter of this race technically starting before the stage in the Vuelta truly finished. And getting from Spain to Canada, and back again.

Well yes of course it wouldn’t have worked in this case. I was more wondering aloud if that could happen at all.

 

[Netserk]

Alaphilippe, Matthews, Powless, Bilbao were dropped by Majka's pace.

 

[Aimar16]

Where was this version of Majka on the Tour?

I somehow doubt it.
I somehow doubt there's even a rule against it, because most riders probably wouldn't even consider it.

Joux Plane.

Alaph and Van Welder done for, Quicksteps classics woes continue

Julian is a le tourist nowadays but disappointed by Van Welder. Belgians here were hyping him as a prodigious talent. Quickstep really bad

You’re probably right. I’d love to see someone try it though just to see what race organizers would do!

 

[Didinho]

Hope Hirschi can take it today. He looks good.

But which race? Not a lot of one-day races on random Mondays.

Lotto management ;

Just do whatever you want. It's Sunday evening, I'm going to the pub.

Well their actual leader was DNF due to illness so it probably literally is a free for all. No one with actual shot at a good result here.

 

[Netserk]

So McNulty to be launched into orbit and Hirschi to lick the spectators in the bunch?

Meh, the train will ride another lap.

 

[Didinho]

Yates-Yates duo attack incoming.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Julian is a le tourist nowadays but disappointed by Van Welder. Belgians here were hyping him as a prodigious talent. Quickstep really bad

Masnada and Mauri still there I think

 

[Samamba]

De Lie couldve survived another lap if he didn't do that attack. Dude is a monster.

He's trying to get back. You got to give it to him. Good form already, maybe last time emptying himself for the EC.

 

[KZD]

McNulty did a lot of damage here, Laporte, De Lie, Alaphilippe, Matthews all dropped.

...and they're back

 

[Valv.Piti]

Asbjørn Kragh, former rider, commentating on Danish ES: Hmm, very hard to know what UAE's tactics are here.. Hmm...

Dude is worse than Rene Wenzel, and that says a lot.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Omg he's second wheel!

 

[Didinho]

De Lie!!! Last try lol.

 

[Red Rick]

Alaphilippe saw De Lie was back and almost shat himself

 

[Red Rick]

"We're watching some sentational stuff here in Montreal" is an accurate description of Matthews attacking

 

[tobydawq]

Matthews with his expected attack.

 

[Samamba]

Pretty funny De Lie testing his limits.

Should've never done that attack earlier tho.
