What's the point of shortening the route by 2 laps? Do they expect way more rainfall in those last 2 laps?

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.

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.

Why not just stop the 100m at 75m when Bolt starts to pull away

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. Cutting off two laps doesn't change anything

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!

In that Worlds final in Daegu, he probably wished they had cut the first 25m and allowed a flying start.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

is this going to be the 1st race this year where Pog lets someone else win?

Second race, that one in Canada.

Second race, that one in Canada.

He didn't let anyone win there, he was beaten. As was the case in Sanremo.

The weather really is horrible. What's up with Italy lately? Hopefully it gets better for Lombardia

Remco trying to cheat with a jumpstart!!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Reports of Enric Mas having tried an attack on the first lap. Between that and the weather, today is truly apocalyptic.

Must have had the Pogacar tactics chip installed 😁

 

[theyoungest]

Great, now we can shorten every race.

Thanks for picking up on the obvious joke.

 

[Potomac]

This race has an impressive start list.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

All jokes aside, this is a fair bit of time to be giving to Mas and Bardet, the rest may come to rue that when they're fighting for the win second place.

 

[Monsi]

According to PCS, race has been neutralized. Won't be surprised if the race is shortened even further or even cancelled.

 

[Samamba]

This is about to be cancelled

 

[tobydawq]

Official confirmation that it has been canceled.

It seemed quite optimistic to try to race it in the first place, I have to say.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah I'm surprised they even started this, but it's also apparently the riders themselves that just stopped, like a strike. Just do it at the start then lmao

 

[Lequack]

Roglic looks pretty smart now.

 

[Netserk]

Pathetic stuff if true.

It's literally a circuit race you can just DNF and go to the bus instead of cancelling the race

what did y'all think rider union meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

What a joke

 

[Netserk]

The riders clearly want to control cycling. Must prove they can destroy it.
