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

[DNP-Old]

Now can people explain to me again why UAE burning Yates like they did was a good tactic?

It wasn't.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Rogla stomped Teddy, as I predicted. What surprised me was that he did it on a fast section close to the line, it was almost like a sprint. Still, when I saw UAE work that hard I thought Pog was super-confident but they wasted a lot of power to no effect.

 

[Savant12]

Pogacar anticipated perfectly, just wasnt strong enough

Covered too many attacks and didn't have enough left. Rog waited and waited then stomped.

 

[Netserk]

Today was only 9/10. The postman forgot to stop his power meter at the finish-line.

 

[KOM]

Celebrating Roglic is so much better than turning of the power meter Roglic by the way Atleast I prefer to see the man happy rather than stoic

 

[Miha81]

Not bad for old man. Others had no aswer.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic when he see's they're offering 6 million

 

[Samamba]

Roglic happier now than after his wins in La Vuelta.

 

[Faserr]

Roglic happier now than after his wins in La Vuelta.

He is happy that he can ride the Tour as a leader next year.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

UAE’s tactical plan was not smart today, should’ve had Adam Yates as a co-leader.

 

[Eeslliw]

Beautiful, Roglic really has one of the aesthetically most pleasing uphill sprint. Doesn't look like he is going 100% at all.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Respect

 

[Salvarani]

This race is just tailor-made for Roglic and his third win in this race! Impressive.

 

[Red Rick]

Now can people explain to me again why UAE burning Yates like they did was a good tactic?

Because Yates attacking couldn't gap Van Wilder

 

[KZD]

UAE played it badly by not using its numbers.

Roglič was really strong but Giro dell'Emilia is just a proseries race, the one that truly matters is next Saturday.

 

[AmRacer]

When Rogla stops, he stomps

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Respect

Finally the rivalry is back!

 

[Extinction]

Pogacar anticipated perfectly, just wasnt strong enough

Not at all, he tried to muscle his way ahead, when he should have been on Roglic's wheel. How many times do pros make amateur mistakes? All he had to do was force Rog to take the initiative, be it to open the sprint or chase down a late surge. On the other hand, Pog evidently felt he could blast away to the line. I'd say he should learn to play the tactical game more. As it was, he just depleated his reserves while Roglic astutely waited for his moment to pounce. Chapeau

They just underestimated how much Rogla has left in his tank. As proved at the end, this was the only tactic they could have employed today. Lombardia is different, obviously, Rogla will have burnt out by the finish.

 

[Bolder]

16th win of the season for Roglic. Tied with Pog and ahead of Vingegaard.

He looks really happy in the interview.

 

[balac]

It's amazing how bad are UAE at tactics? Surely they can hire someone and start to implement decent tactics? Are they going to do the same in Lombardia? Wait for a Pog-Rogla-Remco sprint?

 

[Gigs_98]

Both going more slowly early to have both Yates and Pogacar as options on the final climb and letting Yates attack were options they decided against.

Because Yates attacking couldn't gap Van Wilder

Didn't he literally do just that?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Anybody has top 20?

 

[yaco]

The strangest thing is that UAE have dominated the Italian ond day races using their numbers - For a start when Harper went off, then a Majka or Vine should have gone with him to make other teams work - Then A.Yates had to attack on the second last ascent to make a smaller selection. A big fail by UAE.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Simon Yates was way out of position, had to do a lot to come back and still got 3rd so looks like he could do something at Lombardia,
