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

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

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.

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.”

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???

 

[KZD]

From a selfish point of view I wanted that race to continue but given that the roads were starting to become flooded and just two weeks ago a rider died in similar weather conditions its totally understandable that the riders wanted to play it safe and cancel the race.

 

[RedheadDane]

You guys thought EF was late with posting their rosters?
Bora just posted theirs on FB, a couple of minutes ago...

I'm, errr, slightly confused.

The CN forums have historically the better track record

Am here in Varese for this (obviously disappointed) and this was Yorkshire Worlds levels of rain for 24 hours now. But they didn't have the dangerous descents, dodgy Italian roads/drainage systems. I've loved everything else about the town.

Perhaps they're punishing their riders by making them ride the Tre Valli Toodarktoseeni.

I was just wondering if I had accidentally fallen into a tear in the fabric of time...

Unfortunately the town itself is getting worse and worse, but it's still got nice surroundings. There is a nice climb to Sacro Monte that always deserves a hiking/cycling trip.

His dentist does not like this picture, but I get Enric has reasons not to smile.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I'll post a map and the solid start list for today's Gran Piemonte here in honor and the continuation of Italian Week, don't think it needs its own thread. Today is one last warm-up for those who will be racing Il Lombardia against Pog on Saturday! (Uh-oh)

Startlist for Gran Piemonte 2024

Competing teams and riders for Gran Piemonte 2024. Top competitors are Diego Ulissi, Thomas Pidcock and Romain Bardet.

www.procyclingstats.com

Kaden Groves appears to be the heavy favorite, but because I want to be different and I'm stupid I'll go with Pinarello for the win! (Or Fred Wright)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

And they're off in the Piemonte race - I won't have stream coverage for a while (at least I hope I'll have some coverage), so I'm just following the race on PCS for now.

For those of you who also don't have any visuals yet here are a couple more maps in the meanwhile.

And thread name changed in recognition of that.
