Giro dell'Emilia 2024 (Oct. 5)

[Tricycle Rider]

Bummer Lipo didn't make it, but chapeau to Pidcock on 2nd!

Film the race!

Absolutely embarrassing coverage.

 

[postmanhat]

Italian fall races were always absolutely perfect for Pidcock.

First time he's ever ridden one and he's first of the humans.

I think he needs a team to tell him to drop the Tour de France delusion. Obviously, it's pretty hard to beat Pogacar in any one day race but he might get injured etc and he's basically second in line for that (Remco first).

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Pogacar should go for this award next year: https://www.procyclingstats.com/statistics/start/most-attack-kms

 

[Peyroteo94]

He slowed down in the last lap.

 

[Carols]

Never seen this type of dominance

You're all too young that's why. I saw Merckx.

 

[Escarabajo]

We're really lucky to be able to watch Pogi's training rides on TV!

 

[AmRacer]

Rogla finished 6th?

 

[Brullnux]

I'm now very hot on Piganzoli being the Rosa/Masnada/Bagioli of this year's Tour of Lombardy

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Wonder will Simon be as good a Dom for Jonas as Adam is for Pog ?

Film the race!

They tried, but had to provide footage of fans with their phones open and filming the race themselves.

 

[James M]

One hour ago I felt it would be attritional race in rain but even I didn't expect this comical gap!

7 W kg /FTP. . Zone 2 for houuuuurs on 350-360 watts. What can they do?

He can just ride away in a pace noone else can sustain for more than 5min without blowing up weve seen it in all races entire year but it seems he is just getting better aswell. Looking good for next year I must say

Pidcock always believed he was capable of being a TDF contender, as much as Ineos, and would give it a proper go from this year onwards. That was before Pog, Vingo, Evenepoel reshaped the landscape, so he and the team have a lot of thinking to do over the winter. Maybe have one serious attempt next year, fail, then refocus on the monuments?

Rogla finished 6th?

I think that was him.

 

[Salvarani]

I think that was him.

They wont post the results for hours. It has to match the coverage.

I don't think it was ever a serious proposition outside of a Thomas style transformation. It's difficult, because it's clearly how he sees himself and what he wants to do, but it really isn't what he's best at. In a hilly one day race he's probably the third best rider there is; in a GC race he's not even top 20. I think Ineos' obsession with the Tour didn't help, either. A proper, dedicated classics season and he can establish himself as "the best of the rest" outside the mutants, imo.

What happened to Remco? catching up now

What happened to Remco? catching up now

He gave up, it wasn't fun anymore.

Jorgensen wasn't in the race to motivate him?

Jorgensen wasn't in the race to motivate him?

No, there was Jorgenson. He tried to have fun, but he didn't like the game anymore.

Well, it's also that once he gets a gap everyone basically gives up. It's hard to race all out for second 🥈 place.

Done for the season
