CRO Race 2024 (Oct.1-Oct.6)

[Tricycle Rider]

I just realized there's a young German rider named Messerschmidt in the lineup, doesn't get any more German than that.

Indeed, especially if you think historically

Right on, I was definitely thinking of the German WWII planes!

BMc has learned from his team leader: go long!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Break of 5, 4 minute lead and 80 km to go.
Rob Stannard, Leknessund, Mullen, Tim Marsman & Hugo Aznar.

Such a shame Charles Planet and Martins Pluto aren't in the race.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Arrieta is smasshing the peloton, only 20-25 riders left. Still half the climb to go.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Is that the case?

Wanted to get back to this because you're right, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions and presumed the stage had been shortened just because of the rain. It was actually the wind and some road closures...

My bad, next time I'll wait for the actual report as to why a stage is being shortened, I'm still learning.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Foolish tactics, they should've just softpedalled, now Mcnuggets has to pace back Castrillo and he's isolated.

 

[SafeBet]

What was UAE's tactic here? Isolate McNulty?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Funny stuff, some proper racing

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I'd be lying if I said I'm not looking forward to the dell'Emilia race tomorrow, but commentator said this is supposed to be a hotly contested stage. And they'll still be riding by the coast, so the scenery should be lovely.

About 57km to go and they're climbing, Stannard is in the 3-man break so far.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Ganna is making a strong return. Those seconds he lost on stage one might cost him an overall podium

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at Rob Stannard going good, is his witness for the defence still posting here? He will be on the edge of his seat!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oooh, some spooky mist on the climb, cars and motos have their headlights on so they can be seen.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pretty twisty descent, I'm scared.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What was that from Ganna? Touch of wheels?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ganna crash

 

[Faserr]

They are riding on ice...

 

[RedheadDane]

He got up remarkably quickly, then unfortunately it seems the pain hit him...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Arietta(?) donkey behaviour trying to overtake in the damp on a bend

 

[Tricycle Rider]

He got up remarkably quickly, then unfortunately it seems the pain hit him...

It looks like he may not be able to go on.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ibai... careful...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Such a shame Charles Planet and Martins Pluto aren't in the race.

Planet announced his retirement yesterday, btw.

 

[SafeBet]

Wrist injury for Pippo? Hopefully not broken.
