Clásica San Sebastián 2023 (July 29th)

[Volderke]

Aren't we selling it to soon? Vlasov has a good sprint and uphill can follow the best. See LBL 2022. Can imagine Remco not dropping them.

Like I said, a good Vlasov can drop Evenepoel on a steep climb. Just look at Vuelta de Valencia stage 3 in 2022.

Valenciana 2022 was not a great Evenepoel though, at least not on that climb.

 

[Andy262]

This isn’t the most thrilling race I’ve ever watched. Hoping Bilbao can stick with him.

 

[Volderke]

I'm saying this first, unless Remco is REALLY confident, he should have tried to drop his companions on the flat, before the climb.
In this way he would have had more certainty to win, as if he is the best on the last climb, he would have started with an advantage, and if he's not the best on the climb, he would have had a buffer.

Now he is going up this climb with Vlasov, who at his best, is a force to be reckoned with on a climb like this.

Don't worry if he doesn't drop Remco then someone will come along and point out that Vlasov hasn't ridden since the Giro.

Everybody removing the paint from the bikes before the climb

 

[Tim Cahill]

Peloton need to slow down so Bauke can come back

2 hard km’s the climb. He tested them on the previous one. The strongest will ride away now. Could be either one of them, but the history would say Remco got this.

But who has the -500g *** diet? That's gonna decide it.

 

[roundabout]

I think Evenepoel will be fine and will get away on the climb

 

[Riek s]

Remco doesn't look like flying atm

 

[roundabout]

obviously we need to see the battle for 4th

 

[Lequack]

Remco doesn't look like flying atm

Just give him time.

 

[houtdffan]

don't think Remco can drop these 2. Maybe Bilbao

expecting a sprint

 

[roundabout]

Vlasov look like he is about to pop

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bilbao proving he could have won a four-week TdF.

 

[Riek s]

Bilbao surviving.... Remco not sprinting.. sprint with 2

 

[Volderke]

breaking point for Bilbao, but he's though

 

[Potomac]

OK...Bilbao is winning me over

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bilbao survives and Remco doesn't really attack. Did not expect this at all.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This is brilliant PELLO BILBAO making remco suffer

 

[Didinho]

Bilbao strong. Sprint à deux.

 

[roundabout]

oh well, will be interesting to see how much Evenepoel has improved his sprint

 

[perico]

He better get rid of Bilbao or momentum swings toward the Spaniard.

He got some energy from the Basque fans.
