Giro dell'Emilia (1. Pro) - 18/08/2020

[F_Cance]

DQS is ridiculous. Vlasov dropos everyone but Bagioli

as if ruining the spring classics wasn't enough, now their random talents are also climbing on par with Vlasov in the form of his life.

 

[Berflamand]

So Trek won the race for Astana and made DQS lose and didn't place anyone in the top 5?

 

[johnymax]

Vlasov to win the Giro!

 

[sir fly]

Heartbreaking for Almeida.
Congrats to Vlasov.

Is this Astana snatching something from D-QS in Italy?
... In different ways.

Excellent race.

 

[Poursuivant]

Tough on Almeida

We will see what happens in the spring classics after the summer. So far Strade and MSR have been won by Jumbo. And I don't think Almeida and Bagioli are so very random.

 

[Climbing]

They already showed having the two best riders at the moment, and Trek makes Ciccone pull.
Let them sacrifice one rider (Astana), if they want to win, tactics 101.
Braindead team car.

Only watched the last 3 km's, but fantastic finale! The youngsters are on fire. Congrats to Vlasov. What a season he's having.

true. I don't get it. They only kept the gap close enough for Astana. Nibali and Ciccone spent too much energy chasing while Astana guys kept sitting in the group.

They were thinknig Mollema would normally win then they realised he wasn't riding.

 

[Rollthedice]

Vlasov to win the Giro!

And Fuglsang the Tour! Vino for Vuelta!

Second time in less than a week that Trek is working for Astana

 

[Red Rick]

DQS have this way of making their climbers look fat

Yes, that's the way I saw it, too...

Trek tactics was so dumb as always, but recently two races has raised to a new level.

It's the baby fat on these kids.

 

[SafeBet]

Textbook tactics from DQS.
Trek should take notice, they've been pulling groups for no reason in Piemonte/Lombardia/Emilia. They're really clueless.
Astana is not much better tactically but they're su superior it's doesn't really matter.

A heartbreaker for Almeida.

That's obviously a good kit designer. I like when they look so healthy.

 

[ppanther92]

Fuglsang supprisingly weak.

Trek expectedly stupid.

 

[johnymax]

And Fuglsang the Tour! Vino for Vuelta!

No, Fuglsang is not riding the Tour. The Tour is Sepp Kuss' to lose. I don't know yet for the Vuelta.

It is a near miss for DQT. Only regret is Bagioli should be the one attacking. Almeida could match Vlasov in this kind of climbing if not emptying his tank, but nice try.

 

[BlueRoads]

I suppose Fuglsang was always supposed to give this to Vlasov. He did not work much for Vlasov but that made it hard for the others to know which one was the designated leader. I don't think Fuglsang gave his all here.

Yes, I've been wondering why they sent Almeida, but then I thought he's probably the better descender and they thought he had a better chance of staying away there?

 

[RedheadDane]

The unstopabble duo Fuglsov and Vlasang again.

So... was it Fuglsov or Vlasang who won?
