Canadian Classics 2025

[Samamba]

Pretty furious start

 

[Samamba]

Name wise this has to be one of the strongest early breaks we've seen in a one day race the past few years.

Van den Broek, Eenkhoorn, Nordhagen, August, Schmidt, Svestadt and Lafay

 

[Potomac]

why?

For any European based rider crossing the atlantic has got to be a pain, and since he has won it before it is off his checklist.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I missed the Quebec race because brain fart, but love how this part of Montreal has trees everywhere. Great crowds too!

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

The greatest Canadian Classic, however, is Blacque Jacque Shellac...

Blacque Jacque Shellacque

Blacque Jacque Shellacque is a Looney Tunes character. He was created by Robert McKimson and first appeared in the 1959 short "Bonanza Bunny". While similar in many ways to Yosemite Sam, both are short in stature and temper, Blacque Jacque possesses his own unique characteristics, not the least...

wanted for claim jumping and POGO STICKING what
thanks Potomac!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Jürgen Nordhagen in the breakaway!

 

[RedheadDane]

Lafay looking good.
Maybe he won't have to go sell cheese in Japan next year.

Narioman is outside my house protesting that his picture has been removed.. a truly sad day for the little fella. Surely the internet has to have an arm in arm or handshake photo of Quintana and Bernal.. Ugly divorce for Nario.

UAE isn't engaging in the strange tactics they used in Quebec. Definitely, Pogacar´s solo attack today.
We'll see what his shape.

I was going to keep the Bernal av till the end of the Vuelta because he had actually won a stage, and here we are, it's almost over. So Nairoman is back with a vengeance!

I love lots of stuff about Canada.. But as far as fantastic experiences.. The Stampede is near the top.. I have been blessed to go to Banff to ski and also went in summer.. Place is a dream!

Wow your avatar criteria are out the window! You would have replaced Nario after 2022 season the garden gnome hasn't won since then.. I think Quintana and Rigo Uran are going to open a business selling empanadas..

And delicious they will be!

Fast delivery by bicycle

Fast delivery by bicycle

And in mountainous regions too, very steep mountains will be included on the delivery map!

 

[Samamba]

I really like how other teams are racing this weekend. At least they aren't just trying to see what Pogacar does.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pace is very high. I doubt anyone can survive to Pogacar.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Politt is gone, this is a long way...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Away from the insanity of the Vuelta good to see we can still enjoy 92km of this race and I don't even care who wins all that much.

 

[Samamba]

This will be the hardest dry edition of this race ever.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Politt is gone, this is a long way...

Wellens will work 30 km. Then Sivakov another 15 km. UAE is too strong

 

[Rob5091]

Pogi to attack with 50 km to go ...

 

[Tim Cahill]

I assume no Tratnik in the WCs is a personal choice rather than a non-selection given the course and depth of that team. I mean I like Matic Žumer as much as the next man but...

 

[Samamba]

De Lie still in that peloton, that's admirable.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogi to attack with 50 km to go ...

This pace is pure demolition.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

No chances for the breakaway, Teddy & UAE are controlling everything and setting a strong tempo. Le Patron's attack is on the cards (likely on the penultimate lap or with 3 laps to go).
