Il Lombardia 2021 (October 9th)

[jaylew]

A good example today why racing will be better when Valverde retires. Can't come soon enough.

Yeah, because everyone else in that group isn't riding exactly the same way

 

[Eeslliw]

Lol, just stupid, stupid. So much stupid in chasing group.

 

[Salvarani]

Jumbo-fail

 

[shalgo]

WTF Ala?

 

[Leinster]

Jumbo trying soooo hard to get nothing out of the race.

 

[Rollthedice]

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

 

[Tim Cahill]

 

[Hugo Koblet]

"Hey look guys! This is working, we're gaining time on the two up front!"
"Great, let's stop doing what we're doing then!"

 

[PinotZakarin]

???

 

[Orbit501]

FFS everybody in this group!

Except Ala, obviously.

 

[BlueRoads]

Aldag's talking a bunch of nonsense today, I'd rethink if I was Bora.

 

[Fantastico]

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

As a Valverde fan that's simply frustrating. What is he doing...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Masnada channeling his inner Colbrelli.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

the annual reminder that cyclists are stupid.

 

[Netserk]

Valverde is the most cancerous crap on wheels.

 

[Leinster]

WTF Ala?

Alaf is in a great position. If he can get a gap and get some separation from the group, he can chase solo. Even if he brings Gaudu or Bardet across, it still becomes a 2 QS vs 2 others, and Pog still has to ride with Masnada in his wheel.

 

[limak_]

And Pogi is gonna win this one anyway

 

[OldCranky]

The absolute state of this chase

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Ala has to do something for the group to have a reason to work.

 

[johnymax]

Alaphilippe will smoke them all in the chasing group on that final climb. But it won't be enough for the win

 

[Volderke]

Pogi has plenty of time to pace himself now and think about how to deal with Masnada.

I’ll root for any of the 2 in front, all others not deserving anything.

 

[BlueRoads]

But it's over anyway.

 

[JosefK]

Wow, this is surreal.

 

[Leinster]

Valverde is the most cancerous crap on wheels.

As if this exact scenario hasn’t happened in every single bike race this year whether Bala was on the start line or not.

 

[PinotZakarin]

Come on, we have finally seen a quality group working together
But it lasted 3 minutes
