Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec & Montréal 2024, one day classics, September 13 & 15

[Samu Cuenca]

When do I have to watch to see Ayuso on donkey duty?

You can wait until 2040.

 

[Netserk]

You can wait until 2040.

With ~50 km to go in 1½ hours?

 

[E_F_]

The course is not so tough, and Pogacar will be marked. With a final km at 4% guys like De Lie and Girmay have a decent chance. Pogacar has a better chance on Sunday.

You're ignoring the UAE leadout on the steeper gradients before the final drag. With Pogi in the wheel that's enough to get the guys with a faster sprint to fall back.

 

[Samamba]

So when is UAE coming

 

[Lequack]

So when is UAE coming

Maybe the breakaway is just too strong today.

 

[Potomac]

Brian Smith putting himself forward to run Ineos

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Den Broek and Shmidt look decent out there tbf

 

[Didinho]

How do we rate Luke Lamperti here? Just saw him on the start list. Can he survive if it ends in a reduced sprint?

And we all know Frank VDB is gonna lead Bardet to victory.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ben Healy circus is here!!!

 

[Potomac]

lmao.....Healy

 

[Lequack]

Finally some proper action! Ben Healy!

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE bringing it back.. boooooooo

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wilco Keldattack, go on Ben attack em again

 

[Samamba]

Van den Broek and Shmidt only lost like 20s with those attacks.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Being up front 4.25 ahead is actually a decent place to be right now, could end up with a solid result if a dangerous group makes it across later and they can hold on for a bit.

 

[Potomac]

UAE seems determined.

 

[Samamba]

UAE finally awake. This will be very hard from now on. Doubt De LIe survives, definitely not if he has his Hamburg form

 

[Salvarani]

Doesnt look like Schmidt has much left

 

[E_F_]

All my homies feel similarly about UAE.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

UAE starting to kill rivals.

 

[tobydawq]

The dour Spaniard actually seems to be willing to pull today. Let's see for how long.

 

[Lequack]

Commentators said Majka was retiring? Well that's a downer.

 

[tobydawq]

Commentators said Majka was retiring? Well that's a downer.

I'd fact-check that.

 

[Samamba]

How are they losing time again.

 

[tobydawq]

How are they losing time again.

They are not.
