Coppa Bernocchi Oct 7/Tre Valli Varesine Oct 8/Gran Piemonte Oct 10

Yes. Cycling has always been about the most daring riders winning.

What's the alternative to that? Don't do any more downhill finales (as the daring riders win). Do not hold races on very technical courses as "we push riders riders to the limit"?
How far are we going in order to minimise the risk while keeping the identity of cycling?

Notice where the locus of control is. Riders have no agency, no responsibility. "We" push them.

Lol, exactly the same discussion here everytime a race gets cancelled
We can atleast agree on one thing: no matter wat happens, it's Adam Hansen's fault.

I thought we had agreed it was all Pogačar‘s fault.

Yeah, I always find it funny when people claim as if "we" or organisers are "pushing riders to the limit" and they can't assess the risks they are taking and if it's too big for their liking they can't just DNF/DNS or even retire altogether.


Same with Football. "We" and FIFA are pushing players to play so much and they can't do anything about it..

"In agreement between riders and organisers", according to teams/riders. Sounds like how they spin a strike.

eh?

eh?

Yesterday was Piccolo Stelvio. The waterfall makes this the Piccolo Fedaia.

I'm Italian and I don't know/remember the Giro roads and the Giro most important stages. shame.

No, not at all. That's also not why I watch cycling. I don't watch it to see who dares to go hardest in a downhill when the road is flooded.

 

[Mayomaniac]

According to the race organizers the manholes/sewer system could no longer swallow the water on that descent after torrential rainfalls. In some Northern Italian regions they already expect floods during the night, this time it is clearly extreme weather and not just a few pampered millionaires not wanting to ride in the cold (see the Giro).

Clearly all Australians but Hindley need to be banned from riding the Giro, maybe even from racing in Italy in general.

Everyone who crashes more than once a year.

Enric Mas goes all in for the first time in his life and they say "Get out of it, you can't be attacking like that in these conditions, we're cancelling the race."

 

[Sciatic]

Sure, I can change this. Maybe next year we should just create 1 topic for the 3 races.

And call it “Italian Week” 🙂

The Italian Week - A thread created for three races: Coppa Agostoni, Coppa Bernocchi, Tre Valli Varesine and Gran Piemonte

 

[Sciatic]

The Benji Naesen Soyboy cry on social media mentality has been poisoning cycling and may well destroy it

Got the Jets coach fired as well!

What did we do this time lol

That's not good counting skills.

I actually thought of making a thread for that (also Emilia) group of races but didn't find the time.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I'm joking, it was about Adam Hansen and the O'Connor tantrum at the Giro.

I was asking myself what part was a joke. Was it about the extremely flooded roads or the last one about Australians 😃.
Now it's clear.

Nah, that was all Rodgers.

 

[Sciatic]

Nah, that was all Rodgers.

I know, but that’s partly what I meant—he is a social media (and to a degree mainstream media) influencer and can use that create seditious undercurrent while saying in interviews “ we get along fine.”

 

[Breh]

Guys, should I trust someone who is chronically online on the CN forums, whining and crying without end or riders and officials and teams who are actually present at the race???
