Clásica San Sebastián 2025, one day race, August 2

[Berniece]

It’s in the bag for Ciccone

 

[Tim Cahill]

Like what was he doing, he'd bridged like a 20 second gap really quickly and had a teammate who wasn't doing so well, surely just set a pace, try keeping it at 3 guys then get him on the flat.

 

[Didinho]

What a win for Giulio. Smart racing. And strong legs.

 

[Brullnux]

Get that moto in front of Ciccone ASAP

 

[nightowl]

Christen thought he was prime Roglic with the teleport-and-fly-past-them strategy but he doesn’t have the stomp like that

 

[scribers]

Ciccone shipping watts with that flycatcher

 

[Cycling111]

The problem for Ciccone is not having any bottles. They make you heavier for faster descending.

He has always been quite mediocre on the flat and descending.
He would have more wins if he knew how to ride better.

 

[Netserk]

C'mon Powless, clap that clown!

 

[Heston]

Cycling is so fun when none of the aliens are racing.

Hilarious UAE fail today. Great race honestly.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

If Christen just held Ciccone's wheel to the top instead of showing hubris, he would have had a very good chance of winning either downhill or in the sprint.

Cycling is so fun when none of the aliens are racing.

Hilarious UAE fail today. Great race honestly.

It's almost like the fans don't want to see all the big guns all the time, like the One Cycling hype train says we do. It's almost like people who watch sport for entertainment like races to be entertaining.

 

[Netserk]

Love to see Del Toro caught.

 

[nightowl]

Yeah that was quite funny, Christen just dropping him like "Del Toro, here let me show you how to go fast"

The fact he turned a winning situation for UAE to a losing one in about 10 seconds was pure comedy

 

[tobydawq]

Grande Cicco!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Ciccone!
How nice!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Uijtdebroecks bows his head in sadness at the slight loss of prize money as he loses the placement sprint.

 

[Brullnux]

Is this the first Italian 1.UWT win since Colbrelli's Paris-Roubaix?

 

[tobydawq]

Somebody has told the TV producers that there is not much drafting on climbs. So now they place the motorbikes one meter in front of the riders.

To be fair, they didn't film them from the front after the climb. It was quite fair for everyone there.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Ah great an ad break!

This is the start of a new cycling era in Africa, according to Froomey.

You know this one was available without ads?

 

[tobydawq]

Jan Christen gotta have the single most punchable face in all of cycling.

I don't know how this can be interpreted in a non-hostile way.

 

[Lequack]

 

[Tim Cahill]

You know this one was available without ads?

Yeah nice one mate I'll switch it over now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Christen going straight over the top only doesn‘t make sense if Del Toro told the team he‘s cooked. If he thought Del Toro still had it, getting the 2v1 would be a near-certain win.

 

[Savant12]

Ciccone was the strongest on the day. Christen did the right thing by attacking thinking that Ciccone couldn't follow but that wasn't the case.

 

[Lequack]

I don't know how this can be interpreted in a non-hostile way.

He's just saying that he's ugly. But he's wrong, have you ever seen a Fabio Aru suffer face? Christen has nothing on that.
