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

[QueenStagiaire]

They just showed a split screen, officially most advanced race ever

 

[Netserk]

2 laps to go. UAE keeping the race closed.

 

[Samamba]

Simon Yates' shoulder is open. Must've crashed

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not sure it would be ideal for Pogacar to go to an uphill sprint with Roglic here, could go a bit earlier considering nobody seems to have any teammates to chase.

 

[KZD]

Only 2 UAE riders with Pogačar. Alaphilippe still there. If he is back at his best, he can beat both Slovenians but that's a big if.

I think Yates will move at the kite, and then Pogi will mark Rogla until the final 200 m.

 

[Red Rick]

I don't see how they don't launch with Yates in the penultimate lap

I don't see how they don't launch with Yates in the penultimate lap

Question is if they launch Yates on his own or if they launch Pogačar with Yates, I tend towards the latter.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Nice result in the women's race!

Cille is just perfectly built for this finish. She needs to turn into the queen of San Luca the way van der Breggen was the queen of Huy.

Probably the latter yeah. No wasting time with tactical bs. If Roglic and Pogacar are close in level it benefits Pogacar to go full gas twice instead of just once.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Only 2 UAE riders with Pogačar. Alaphilippe still there. If he is back at his best, he can beat both Slovenians but that's a big if.

If Ala suddenly is back to his best from nowhere it’s one of the biggest comebacks since Lazarus.

 

[Netserk]

Penultimate ascent now.

 

[Netserk]

Yates pushes from the bottom!

Ok, we‘re kinda right

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar needs to be letting the wheel go and looking around there

 

[Salvarani]

Mas looks good.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Pogacar needs to be letting the wheel go and looking around there

Would’ve been the perfect situation for this tactic.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic looks more labored than at any point in the Vuelta

 

[Netserk]

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pozzovivo

 

[Salvarani]

Benoot still there. Classy rider.

Benoot still there. Classy rider.

And he popped

I really don't see how UAE benefited from riding this ascent so hard.
