Maybe change the thread title to "103rd Tre Valli Varesine, October 8"... or, we could just... keep the title, but continue talking about TVV here...
Roglic is already at the pub... not even on the start list?Maybe Remco and Roglic can get to the Pub earlier than yesterday if it carries on raining.
What's the point of shortening the route by 2 laps? Do they expect way more rainfall in those last 2 laps?Men's race shortened by 2 laps.
Better idea IMO is to just do 1 full lap after Pogacar takes off and take the finisht here
Man, these lasses are nails. Cat Ferguson for another win?
They've changed the start time, not the finish time, so the time they aren't racing is the time when the women are racing - clearly, rain intensity is not the reason here. So the likely answer is that Adam Hansen had a moan and got his way as per.What's the point of shortening the route by 2 laps? Do they expect way more rainfall in those last 2 laps?
Because there's no point in riding 200 km in pouring rain, when 160 km in pouring rain will produce the same result: Pogacar wins by 3 minutes.What's the point of shortening the route by 2 laps? Do they expect way more rainfall in those last 2 laps?
That’s what I thought, and it doesn't make much sense. If there's too much rain, and the course is dangerous, just cancel it.

The 100m is, guess what, a distance specific event. A bicycle race is not. It was obviously meant as a joke and it reflects how most of us think these days. Race is over whenever Pog decide it is time to go. Let's hope for a sprint today!Why not just stop the 100m at 75m when Bolt starts to pull away

Second race, that one in Canada.is this going to be the 1st race this year where Pog lets someone else win?

Must have had the Pogacar tactics chip installed 😁Reports of Enric Mas having tried an attack on the first lap. Between that and the weather, today is truly apocalyptic.
Great, now we can shorten every race.Because there's no point in riding 200 km in pouring rain, when 160 km in pouring rain will produce the same result: Pogacar wins by 3 minutes.
Thanks for picking up on the obvious joke.Great, now we can shorten every race.
