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

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

As well as Rogla, a future teammate at Jayco?

Looking at UAE's team (without Herschi who's been in top shape recently), Pogi wants to win this. The unusual sight of Pogi in a full team train, I reckon before an attack. Fastest time for the climb?

He's certainly preparing hard

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

He can’t seem to beat a certain ski jumper this season… No, wait… That’s Remco🤣

According to - https://www.strava.com/segments/14244952
Pogi's fastest is 5 min 31 sec up to San Luca, which is 5 seconds slower then Nibali in 2017.

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

Großschartner podiumed two one day races in Spetember already, Vine didn’t even race. Why would you swap him? But its also irrelevant since they will anyway be on Pogi support duties.

 

[Lequack]

I think Esteban Chaves will win this. Nobody will chase him down.

Simon Yates looks less small

Roglic: "I can confirm I will leave the team"

New team if Roglic doesn't win today: "I want a refund!"

 

[KZD]

UAE has a super strong team here, almost all of their riders can actually win the race under the right circumstances which reminds me a bit of Jumbo in the early cobbled classics this year or Quick-Step in those same races a couple of years ago.

I think their best strategy is instead of just setting a strong pace for Pogačar try to attack the race from afar with an Ayuso or Ulissi in order to put pressure and tire Jumbo and Roglič. Still even though this is Roglič's favourite one day race, Pogačar still has a decent chance in a head to head battle on the final ascent.

[staubsauger]

Best strategy for UAE is to make everyone look at Pogacar for Saturday by winning Emilia & Tre Valli Varesine. So Hirschi can ride away ala Cunego and win il Lombardia!

 

[Valv.Piti]

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

Wanna bet on who becomes the best Slovenian?

Very strange that he just casually announces at the end of the interview that he is leaving Jumbo

Jumbo just did their official announcement with the clip from this interview lol. He caught them off guard

Tratnik!

It reminds me of when Vettel told Red Bull on Friday night that he was leaving the team, and the next morning Red Bull announced that Vettel would be racing for Ferrari next year, revealing Ferrari's new driver before Ferrari had made any announcement

 

[tobydawq]

Tratnik!

I think you will lose the bet.

 

[Rob5091]

Looks like Teddy has itchy legs as UAE are already chasing down the break.

 

[Potomac]

Amazing startlist for this race

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice result in the women's race!

Clearly something broke in the relationship between Jumbo and Roglic

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nice result in the women's race!

Hopefully we'll get to watch more than a few minutes of it one day.
