Il Lombardia 2021 (October 9th)

[Logic-is-your-friend]

QuickStep doms looking better than the teamleaders.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Remco near the back of the main bunch, incoming Nibali downhill attack?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Rob Hatch has already admitted he's got the wrong startlist but that isn't going to deter him from calling riders by their (incorrect) numbers

 

[Netserk]

If Ganda is not drilled hard, there will be plenty of doms around at the top and after the descent.

 

[Lequack]

So this redesigned course will not provide and long range attacks. And without the climbs close to the finish like last year it might even be a sprint finish between a reduced group. Theretofore Alaphillipe will win.

 

[Volderke]

Saving Remco for a last K attack. Very smart and refreshing!

 

[46&twoWheels]

Nibs literally carrying the Trek-team bag

 

[Froome]

Remco near the back of the main bunch, incoming Nibali downhill attack?

Time to DQS put remco work in the front of the peloton with fausto masnada.

He is eating now.

From a bag.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

At least two of UAE, Jumbo and Deceuninck will look really stupid later today for not racing harder because they trusted themselves on Ganda/in Bergamo too much.

 

[Salvarani]

MVDP and WVA will be praying it is the same route next year...

 

[ice&fire]

DQS pulling strong in the descent to drop Remco

 

[shalgo]

MVDP and WVA will be praying it is the same route next year...

Colbrelli too, for that matter.

 

[Salvarani]

Journalist: What happened today?
Remco: I did not have the best legs, so I told my teammates early that they could race for themselves. I did not want to be that guy.

 

[BlueRoads]

F*ck these motos.

 

[Andy262]

GT dull this parcours.

Como finish >>>>>>> Bergamo

 

[Volderke]

Great moto gp. A bit annoying they allowed some cyclists on the parcours though.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

These motorpilots should be forced to do race specific training and get a specific license. In case that's already in place, they need to make the training harder.

 

[Lequack]

I'll repost this post from earlier, the changes in the route from last year:

Profile 2021

 

[Rollthedice]

Apart from the abandons and Landa, has anybody been dropped from the peloton?

That is already happening, RCS has stricter regulations than the UCI when it comes to becoming a motopilot during their races.

Buchmann and Moscon.
