[Brullnux]

Did he win like a gigantic bit of ham ?

Mortadella!!

he won some ham as well, no worries

Nah, he looks really limited when it gets to tough, multi mountain stages.

He needs that 3-5kg of lean muscle mass first. He's been around long enough now to see, that he's not one of those skinny mosquitos, that ride at the pointy end of longer stage races in various conditions. He's not one of those 64-68kg riders that are ruling there. Too skinny these days.

Not bad, not bad.

He didn't attack though. He just hit the front and the rest just gave up.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Already before Sormano next week?

I'll disappoint you. An attack in the middle of Sormano around 50 km from the line.

If Pogacar eats all that ham, Evenepoel can win Lombardia.

Psychological warfare (i.e. Pogi riding on the front scarring everyone into a freeze) counts as attacking, it's just more subtle.

If Pogacar eats all that ham, Evenepoel can win Lombardia.

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.

Not bad, not bad.

Sir, you are a fluent speaker of the GOAT language

Mate, Remco is trying to eat as many pizzas as he can in the next three months

 

[Tanakka]

If Pogacar eats all that ham, Evenepoel can win Lombardia.

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.

 

[Sciatic]

Not too bad

Always loved this clip

He didn't attack though. He just hit the front and the rest just gave up.

How do you know? It wasn't shown on TV.

Expecting big things from him!

I saw it.

 

[chickenlips]

I saw it.

Me too. There was no attack, he just walzed away.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

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).

So the others are just taking a more measured approach? Interesting.

Has a teddy long ranger ever failed?

Imola

Spandelles.

 

[Invicituz]

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.

 

[Netserk]

Spandelles.

Then you could include Galibier too.
