European Championship 2025: Men’s RR, October 5

[Berniece]

Well at least Challenge Mallorca is only a mere 4 months away, great stuff, really looking forward to it. Some cricket on over Christmas too.

You are not looking forward to UAE destroying the field in Lombardia?

 

[James M]

If Slovenia leads for two more rounds Teddy will run out of doms and then...

Then everyone needs to take shelter.

Is that race still going? It's more a charity criterium nowadays I think, surprised they don't let Indurain and Pellizotti take part on their e-bikes after they took the Muro out.

Indeed it's Pogi criterium now, he races some amateurs and veterans there. No wonder he wins all editions.

 

[kingjr]

Yeah I think Pogacar does whatever he wants with the rest on this course

 

[Boehmand]

Vervaeke tried to solo but Pedersen reeled him back in before the top, at the same time Belgium came to the front in the peloton.

It feels like Belgium has an aggressive plan today and will not wait for the last 50K

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice terrain with narrow roads. Poggi using his doms before naturally dropping out half way anyway. What else should they do. Getting hundreds of bottles? Pushing poggi along when he feel a need to piss in the wind?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Victor langelotti in the breakway, representing Monaco!! Allez Victor!!!

More aggressive than Slovenia? Right now it looks to me like Tadej might try to solo it from the next time up the long climb.

Slovenia rides like they do because they know Pogacar will be isolated as soon as Belgium or Denmark drops the hammer in the peloton, so they might as well spend it all early - they have no other option.

To me it seems like Belgium is just waiting for the Slovenian doms to blow up and then they will strike.

He might have to attack because his team is weak.

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar may find out he's sorely missing a certain stuntgranny today

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

If Slovenia leads for two more rounds Teddy will run out of doms and then...

... he will rely on UAE teammates?

 

[RedheadDane]

Interesting little tidbit:

The route today crosses the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. These competitors have the most victories in this region.

#	Rider	Wins
1	POGAČAR Tadej	6
2	VINGEGAARD Jonas	6

 

[veganrob]

Pogi in his natural habitat. Jonas looks good in that Danish jersey not gonna lie. I hope Vingegaard does well here so maybe he'll do more one-day races next year. He clearly states he wish to perform in them so.

Completely agree.

 

[Samamba]

Lots of dicks on my screen

You could just switch back to the race.

 

[memyselfandI]

Jfc how much commercial brakes there is today..

 

[Netserk]

France to open the race from the peloton.

 

[BubbaChuck]

pog greatest captain ever?

 

[Pantani_lives]

The official startlist, or the PCS prelimiary startlist?

PCS. He probably just started because they have no one to replace him.

 

[RedheadDane]

PCS. He probably just started because they have no one to replace him.

He didn't start.

Belgium doing stuff.

 

[Tim Cahill]

William Junior Lecerf going from afar in aid of Remco, a role-reversal!!!

 

[tobydawq]

Jonas not near the front.

 

[Berniece]

Vingegaard already dropped. Who would’ve thought…
