Giro dell'Emilia 2023, one day race, September 30

[CyclistAbi]

Considering he doesn't have a team yet i will go with Rogla.

 

[Nick2413]

Weird how you can say that with a sample size of next to nothing.

Fair, I expected a bit more at San Sebastián this year and some other races but he hasn’t had that many chances yet.

Pog in a sprint over Roglic and Mas.

 

[Salvarani]

Pog wins this one and he has won all the three races of the week. Giro dell'Emilia is the one he still misses.

 

[SafeBet]

UAE with a crazy strong team:
Pogačar
Ayuso
A. Yates
Vine
Ulissi
Majka
Großschartner

Imagine actually bringing the strongest lineup by adding Hirschi and Formolo instead of Ulissi and Großschartner...
Which I think might happen 7 days later.

[Lequack]

Strong team from Jumbo as well.

Meanwhile on the women's side, Urska Zigart is riding as well. Her boyfriend is also in this race.

Luca Vergallito was bound to race this for Alpecin but broke his collarbone during Coppa Agostoni.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Meanwhile on the women's side, Urska Zigart is riding as well. Her boyfriend is also in this race.

But the real story is Chiara Doni, who gets to ride her first pro race at the age of 38.
She's apparently been coached by the aforementioned Vergallito since last year.

Strong team from Jumbo as well.

Roglic & Valter, yes.

Benoot wasn't convincing in Luxembourg and Bouwman was hit or miss. Although his TT was strong.

Leemreize hasn't shown anything notable all year long.

Yes, she was one of the finalists of last year's Zwift Academy. She's been riding with Vergallito for some time and has had a successful season in GFs.
Started cycling at the age of 33.

 

[Laplaz]

Meanwhile on the women's side, Urska Zigart is riding as well. Her boyfriend is also in this race.

Her boyfriend probably just got a contract because of her fame.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Hat-trick, by longe range attacks, incoming, by Rogla. Now that the team doesn't hold him back any more.

 

[Lequack]

This man is already on location

He’s on location one day before the actual race? Give him a medal. Is there something he cannot do?

Hard to see past Pozzovivo for this one.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hard to see past Pozzovivo for this one.

I hope he wins Lombardia, too. Then he won't have to wait until March to get a new contract.

Well, it wasn't that easy for Horner to get a new contract after winning the Vuelta.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Well, it wasn't that easy for Horner to get a new contract after winning the Vuelta.

If I were put in charge of a team, my first action would be to sign 3 mythical climbers: Pozzovivo, Pernsteiner and Mareczko.

He can't decide which team to go to.

He was given a "medal" on a race he didn't actually race at. So pretty much Rogla can do it all.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So, after more than 400 days, a proper duel in between Rogla and Pogi at a race, such as Emillia. And one thing still being the same. Both being the main favourites to win. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Impressive guys.

Roglič to win Emilia for the third time or Pogačar for the first time? San Luca awaits for the champion. A nice appetizer for Lombardia. Where Pogačar already won twice, time for Roglič to take the crown? At Tre Valli maybe for Tratnik to get a green light to go for it.

On top of that it's a tight race in between UAE and JV. Which team to finish on top, winning the most points this season. Prestigious week of racing ahead. Looking forward to it.

Don't overlook son of Quaranta coming up through U23s, true climbing heritage.
