Clásica San Sebastián 2022, one day race, July 30

[Lequack]

It's the biggest one day race in Spain, favoring climbers. All the big guns will be here, some from the Tour like Pogacar, van Aert, Mohoric, Bardet, Gaudu.
And some fresh ones like Remco, Amedia, Valverde, Hindley, Simon Yates, Landa. So who will win in this big pool of talent?

"Arkéa-Samsic announced that it will not appear in the Clásica San Sebastián, which takes place next weekend. The Pro Team team mentioned that several of their cyclists came out sick from the Tour and they do not have riders fit for the #Klasikoa2022 "

I know the Tour de France Femmes is on, but is there no women's race this year?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I know the Tour de France Femmes is on, but is there no women's race this year?

No. The women's Itzulia has replaced both that and the former Emakumeen Bira.

 

[shalgo]

I don't know who will win, but I can guarantee that Mollema will be in the top ten.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Evenepoel to go solo from the second to last climb with Pogacar and WVA causing the chase group to stall leaving Evenepoel to win. Or Almedia vs Evenepoel sprint.

 

[Rackham]

Alaphilippe is out due to his positive Covid test in the Tour de Wallonie: Julian Alaphilippe et Benoît Cosnefroy forfait à la Clasica San Sebastian - L'Équipe (lequipe.fr)

Cr*p year for him.

 

[Luthor]

Pogacar solo for 44 km. I hope it's gonna be a more interesting scenario though.

 

[Lequack]

Wout should easily win this with his TDF form.

 

[groogster]

Wout should easily win this with his TDF form.

He has a strong UAE team besides him so I think he’s the number 1 favourite to win this one!

 

[Salvarani]

Pogacar solo for 44 km. I hope it's gonna be a more interesting scenario though.

I think they will ride for Ayuso here, so an early attack from Pog to set it up for Ayuso later might very well happen.

With Covi (form?) and Almeida as well in the race they at least have some cards to play with here.

I seriously doubt that UAE will work for Ayuso with Pogacar in the race.

Ayuso with this field is not happening, The opposite is likely, Ayuso drills the climb to drop WvA then Pog launches ,Almeida follows wheels.

Ayuso might

Cr*p year for him.

Cosnefroy out too? This is the lineup announced by Ag2R:

Haven't seen any updates removing him.

 

[Red Rick]

Heavily, heavily depends on how everyone got out of the Tour.

 

[Lequack]

If Vingegaard wasnt being worshipped by the whole country at the moment, he could've raced and won this having Wout as a helper.

 

[ice&fire]

I seriously doubt that UAE will work for Ayuso with Pogacar in the race.

They'll follow TJV supporting their young rider if their old leader does not deliver

 

[KZD]

Given how strong Van Aert was in the Olympics last year, I think that he has a fairly decent here.

 

[groogster]

Sure, but if it happens that Pogacar can’t deliver (which I doubt) then UAE can support any of the other riders in the team like Covi or even Almeida (less probable because he will ride to build up form for La Vuelta) without having to bet on Ayuso exclusively. It will depend on the form of the riders and how things will go during the race. Having said that the course suits Ayuso, so let’s wait.

 

[Valv.Piti]

If Vingegaard wasnt being worshipped by the whole country at the moment, he could've raced and won this having Wout as a helper.

I think Wout would have a higher chance of winning anyways. For Jonas to win he should be able to flat out drop everyone, which I dont think he can on this course

Have you been watching the Tour this year?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Have you been watching the Tour this year?

What kind of question is that? Of course I have. Jonas dropped Pogacar on multiple HC-days with HC MTFs after brutal racing on the prior climbs (Galibier and Spandelles). This is a lot more explosive stuff, and if anyone has an advantage here, I think its Pogacar over Vingegaard.

But Wout is my favourite for this race still.

True, in the Tour they were up against weak, covid-hit teams.
