If he eats it all in one week, maybe Evenepoel will try to trick him into it by challeging to eat even more ham/mortadella in one week. So it all cancels out in the end and Pogi still wins of course.

Mate, Remco is trying to eat as many pizzas as he can in the next three months
Well... but if he eats it at the end of March, perhaps he might win Paris-Roubaix.
Nevermind: he gifted the Mortadella to a fan.
There go his slim chances to beat MVDP.

Tour of Emilia 2024, precautionary withdrawal for Remco Evenepoel: “He preferred to save himself in view of Il Lombardia”

Giro dell'Emilia 2024, ritiro precauzionale per Remco Evenepoel: "Ha preferito risparmiarsi in vista de Il Lombardia"
Remco Evenepoel non ha concluso il Giro dell’Emilia 2024 pensando alle corse successive. Primo a scattare, o quantomeno a voler saggiare la gamba dei rivali, il duplice campione olimpico è stato poi anche il primo ad alzare bandiera bianca, optando per un mesto ritiro mentre Tadej Pogacar si...

Amazing. I suppose Pog will now be an untouchable favorite for Lombardia.

Me too. There was no attack, he just walzed away.
Pog will lose badly in Lombardia. It's simple pattern matching: in the past editions he had been struggling and sandbagging in the few build-up races, while this season he's doing the opposite.
You heard it here first (I guess).
Pogačar continues to amaze with his absolutely superb solo victory at today's Giro dell'Emilia. With the Giro di Lombardia yet to come, this should go down as the single greatest season by a rider in the entire history of cycling.
Ah, that Galibier. I first thought of 2024 and thought you were in need of an off-season.
But yes, sure, although I don't think he ever had a gap, so I wouldn't call it a long ranger.
Joux-Plane could also work.
Wowz! Just watched the replay, so happy to see that Tadej had his batteries charged after the monster effort last week 🙏🏼so exciting racing again, like all year! Chapeau 🫡😍
Edit. Was being sarcastic, but it wasn't clear enough I see 😊

It sure is. For lack of words its just epic. History written right in front of our eyes.
Just watched the race from 77k to go.
Quite spoiled by the predictability of having 5 repetitive muros aka San Luca, then the weather that made a stable signal absent and then finally; that in the moments with plenty of options for displaying 2nd row action during final 38k, the TV-producer sadfully chose not to do so....
Of which popped the balloon for me, as I've always enjoyed "multiple races in one and same race" when it comes to classics and the fight for podium places.
Lipo learned his lesson.
But huge kudos, indeed!
Like Brian Holm noted, I also bounced his gel intake by 4.5k to finish line. Just had high hopes to the bitter end. And almost thought he managed, but only thanks to catastrophic TV production.
Not much to say about Pogi. Impressive. Yet again.
However, I long for a more intelligent route design for this Italian classic.
I.e. which is not in the two extremes; ie. either all favouites action limited to final climb - or a 5 x +2k muros within final 38k - of which the organizers a year in advance fully knows is pure Pogi proper.
Especially when you think about the rich possibilities in the adjacent terrain to create a route of which delivers a better chance for a spectacular bike race.

Maybe the stories about Pidcock being on the move are right, as he seemed to be full of pep, but Piganzoli, chapeau for 3rd on the day. Lipowitz will go down as another one who flew to close to the Sun and got burnt, but he did hang in there for a while.
Lots of tired legs on a wet day otherwise.

Remco is more like the "Hawaiian Pizza" of cycling.
