Il Lombardia 2021 (October 9th)

[Red Rick]

Valverde destroys every chance of the chase he's in.

Except for the one he had to stop.

 

[KZD]

With 45 seconds Pogačar now can lower his pace before the climb to prepare for Masnada's attack

 

[Andy262]

Pog, Masnada, clowns

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

it was bardet who didn't take his turn that stopped all team work in the group when they had reduced the gap to 29 seconds....

 

[Mayomaniac]

lol Jumbo

Rabofail...

 

[jaylew]

Valverde is the most cancerous crap on wheels.

Valverde is working far more than Woods, Roglic, and Gaudu but sure, pick on Valverde

 

[Leinster]

Does Masnada attack on the final climb, or wait for the sprint?

 

[shalgo]

Cheers to Pogacar for knowing what’s what and just riding, rather than gesturing and whining the whole time that Masnada sits on.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Pog has done far too much. Didn't need this much of a gap

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Does Masnada attack on the final climb, or wait for the sprint?

I wouldn't do either. Attack in the final 1k i think would suit him better.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pog has done far too much. Didn't need this much of a gap

Pogacar isn't the reason the gap is big...

Hopefully Remco will watch the replay of the last 15km.

 

[groogster]

Hoping and praying for Masnada ATM

 

[Leinster]

Valverde is working far more than Woods and Gaudu but sure, pick on Valverde

Tbf, as the sprint favorite, Valverde has that responsibility to ride on the front more than Gaudu.

 

[Fantastico]

I wouldn't do either. Attack in the final 1k i think would suit him better.

Or try to distance Pogacar on the descent?

 

[luckyboy]

Cheers to Pogacar for knowing what’s what and just riding, rather than gesturing and whining the whole time that Masnada sits on.

He will win anyway - whether Masnada works, doesn't work, or if he didn't even make it across.

 

[Samamba]

I've seen weirder results than Masnada outsprinting Pogacar so its possible

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hopefully Remco will watch the replay of the last 15km.

Well he's not around to witness it live, so...

 

[jaylew]

Tbf, as the sprint favorite, Valverde has that responsibility to ride on the front more than Gaudu.

These days I'd say it would be Roglic but I don't think he's on a good day

 

[Salvarani]

Pog didnt stand up to close that

 

[Vesica]

That's actually a nice last little climb. More fun than those long boring climbs.

 

[Leinster]

I've seen weirder results than Masnada outsprinting Pogacar so its possible

With the gap this size, Pog really doesn’t need to work any more. It’s just a track sprint now, and Pog looks comfy.

 

[Volderke]

Valverde riding for 3rd. Movistar happy with a podium.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

it was bardet who didn't take his turn that stopped all team work in the group when they had reduced the gap to 29 seconds....

and now he is showing he was one of the strongest...i like him, but that was useless

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I will laugh if Masnada manages to get the same amount of monuments as Van Aert, Van der Poel, Pogacar, Roglic, Alaphilippe...
