Il Lombardia 2021 (October 9th)

He just knows a bag exists somewhere.

The bags exist....under Vincenzo's eyes.

 

[noob]

Adam Yates: Il Lombardia condition is there ‘I just need to pull it out of the bag’

Yates knows where to look for the win

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Adam Yates will not win this race. He is on record saying he has the form but just needs to "pull it out of the bag" but silly Adam doesn't realize you need it in the bag not out of the bag

What he meant is that he must first steal it from Vincenzo's bag and then put it in his.

Exactly.

Once he sees Nibalis cabinet he will realize his bag isn't big enough to hold all the items from Nibalis bag

 

[Rollthedice]

Yates got it all wrong, no wonder he has only 3 wins in one day races. You have to put in the bag not pull it from the bag.

 

[topcat]

Adam Yates is bagless. The Nibali thread is all quiet. There's not much to talk about when you know it's in the bag.

except when giving a gift to somebody else which is what he wants to do i assume

Yes yes yesssssss Fausto is goinngg. Finish in his home town of Bergamo, what a dream he can achieve on Saturday. Thanks quicstep it was the right decision.

Bagioli and Masnada both in for DQS.

Interesting why they take Bagioli instead of Vansevenont who did a strong performance yesterday and is quite aggressive.

No Mauri or Cattaneo then.

I think Cattaneon ended the season after Luxembourg. Strange as he had strong form.

DQS really has such options for these races. They can take Alaphilippe, Almeida, Evenepoel, Masnada, Devenyns, Serry, Bagioli, Vansevenont, Cattaneo, Knox, Cavagna, Cerny, Froglich Honorre.

 

[Leinster]

I thought Lefevere was going to force Bennett to ride this…

I love Vansevenant (more than Masnada...), but I guess part of it is that Bagioli is Italian?

 

[SafeBet]

Bagioli was a monster in the WC so I don't know why you guys think he shouldn't be selected.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think Bagioli is an outside bet for the win from a break. Vansevenant is more of a domestique.

I don't think he shouldn't be selected, I just think Vansevenant could also be argued for.

Yeah, for an aggressive race Bagioli is better. One could argue that with Almeida, Evenepoel and Alaphilippe there are already enough leaders, but depends on the tactical choice.

 

[noob]

And I just like seeing Mauri, especially if he's riding close to Formolo, or for that matter Alaphillipe

 

[noob]

I would think that's enough too honestly, but maybe they really are going for maaaaany leaders and attacking bonanza again

I hadn't noticed Cattaneo ended his season. He was really good in Luxemburg

I can't believe you forgot to mention Masnada as one of the leaders.

 

[BlueRoads]

I can't believe you forgot to mention Masnada as one of the leaders.

Oh believe me I didn't forget him, I'm just becoming seriously anti-Masnada out of pure repugnance of propaganda.

I was planning on wishing you a happy birthday (whenever it is), but I don't think I can now.

 

[noob]

I really have no favorites for this. Had they been in form I would probably have guessed the Van cyclo-cross guys.

The first step towards winning... is racing.

 

[BlueRoads]

Roglic the big favourite here, but the finish doesn't scream biggest favourites win... there could be some serious tactical play at work.
Evenepoel with a long range attack is a possibility, but he would really have to be extremely strong, since everybody will be on his wheel.
Pogacar - well, who would dare do count Pogacar out.
And then there's a bunch of riders who can win this.

Yup I mean they had been there if they were on form
