Canadian Classics 2025

[Monsi]

I think that chase group's gone unless UAE hammer it from the peloton.

 

[Samamba]

This looks over & out?

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE need to get going now because I don’t like their odds, unless Pogacar is actually cooked.

 

[Samamba]

I don't get why some teams aren't riding with more riders. Lotto and Intermarché aren't even riding yet. Maybe De LIe and Girmay don't feel good but still.

 

[Monsi]

I think UAE messed up there. Surely try and send the likes of McNulty or Narvaez in the group instead of Sivakov?

 

[nightowl]

Even if UAE aren’t going for Pogacar surely they’d rather Narvaez give this finish a go than have Sivakov try and out-punch this group.

Pogačar isn't focused on winning this race IMO . He's very competitive and if he has the opportunity he'll take it but this for him is more like a warm up for the Worlds. He obviously has a much better chance winning in Montreal based on the course.

 

[Berniece]

Nothing is lost yet for the peloton

He hasn't won this one, I'm sure he wants to win it. And he still can, it's kinda still ideal if other teams bring this closer so he can jump.

 

[Berniece]

Peloton is going hard, gap is less than a minute. Timing is just completely off

 

[ktel]

I agree , like I said he's competitive and probably wants to win everything but it's not his main focus.

Alaphilippe is so annoying today

 

[Cycling111]

I think the race is in front.

There is no collaboration in the peloton and they are attacking each other.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Alaphilippe is so annoying today

That man cannot ever be annoying......

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

49s

 

[Berniece]

Gap is 49s at the finish line

 

[Samamba]

Peloton is small and it's still 50 seconds. Not enough domestiques anymore. Race had been way hard than previous years.

 

[Monsi]

I thought Pogacar was dropped for a second there but he's just there in front of Wout.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Giftačar at it again

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Peloton is small and it's still 50 seconds. Not enough domestiques anymore. Race had been way hard than previous years.

It's still possible, throw everything at reducing the gap this lap and then counterattack on the next time up the climb. Agree that setting up a sprint may be difficult at this stage.

 

[Sciatic]

OMG, these announcers. "Alice do you think there's ANY chance of the peloton coming back at this point?" Gee-whiz, 1 minute advantage with 25 km to go over a peloton that includes Pogacar.

 

[RedheadDane]

1 minute advantage with 25 km to go over a peloton that includes Pogacar.

And with 20 Ks to go, it's already down to 47 seconds. Make that 44...

 

[Samamba]

It's still possible, throw everything at reducing the gap this lap and then counterattack on the next time up the climb. Agree that setting up a sprint may be difficult at this stage.

It's possible but not when it's jusst gonna be like 1 EF, 1 Visma, 1 Jayco or something. No idea why Lotto is waiting unless De LIe just told them he doesn't have the legs.

Anyways best edition so far of Quebec, and it's not necessarily because of the parcours change just because teams finally started attacking early.

 

[carolina]

Why are some riders wearing red numbers?

 

[Samamba]

It's just Honoré and Zana riding. Not enough.

Peloton in pieces again.
