Il Lombardia 2021 (October 9th)

[JosefK]

At 23, Pogacar has won multiple grand tours and multiple monuments.

 

[Leinster]

that must have been one of the most pathetic sprint attempts from masnada i have ever seen in my life

From Masnada? No. With the chase falling apart, Pog (who has won group sprints against better sprinters than Masnada before) was the clear favorite. He was able to keep the speed smooth on the run-in, and react to the acceleration.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

It looked like Ala stopped to point them out to everyone else as they shot past.

Everyone except Ala was a joke in that chase group but the real criminals were JV. They had 2 riders they had to burn one

Ala was the biggest joke. Masnada was never going to beat Pog in a month of Sundays. He might have done. Epic QS fail.

 

[Red Rick]

Gotta give Roglic and Yates props for a troll job in the end there. Almsot as good as Nibali stealing 2nd in 2018.

 

[Volderke]

Young Belgian talent Evenepoel got top 20. Someone to watch imho.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

At 22, Pogacar has won multiple grand tours and multiple monuments.

No?

 

[movingtarget]

Pog and Rog show done for the year. Nice effort by Masnada and Yates won't outsprint Rog too often but hats off............

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Masnada is the new Diego Rosa!
Serious, this is such a 2016 Diego Rosa performance, the same race and the same finish.

Please don't compare those two. Fausto is the real deal.

 

[postmanhat]

Roglic and Yates coming through at the end was easily the most exciting thing about the race. Pales in comparison to the last couple of weekends

At least there's Paris-Tours tomorrow

 

[Netserk]

Gotta give it to Pogi, he really rode like a champ. Strong, calm and ready to use his strength.

 

[Savant12]

The last rider to win the TDF and two monuments in a season was Merckx in 1972. Of course, Eddy also won the Giro and a third monument that season.

So, really, it's Pogacar who is the new Merckx and not...

 

[Baldinger]

Woods, Gaudu, Bala, Vingegaard are all idiots. Yates as well. At least Fausto had the balls to give us hope of a different result.

Vingegaard did what he could. Why does he qualify as an idiot?

 

[Leinster]

At 22, Pogacar has won multiple grand tours and multiple monuments.

He’s the only currently under 30 rider with multiple monument wins.
(Though Alaf obviously has his 2 WC wins to go with his MSR)

 

[BlueRoads]

Evenepoel actually still somewhat decent.
19th and more importantly AHEAD OF ALMEIDA AMIRITE?

You can now answer his bold rap statement.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nibali 12th in the end.

 

[groogster]

Congrats to Poga, sad for Masnada it would have been an amazing and deserved victory for him

 

[Andy262]

Looking forward to seeing Pog have a go at Tour of Flanders now....

 

[GuntherL1]

Masnada not wanting to listen to team orders. REv has competition.

 

[tobydawq]

At 22, Pogacar has won multiple grand tours and multiple monuments.

He has turned 23, though. So not really that impressive

 

[jmdirt]

Pog!

 

[movingtarget]

Youngest rider to win two monuments in a season ?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Young Belgian talent Evenepoel got top 20. Someone to watch imho.

Young Portuguese talent Nelson Oliveira finishing 16th was more impressive though.

 

[JosefK]

No?

Yep. My bad. I didn't realize he just turned 23. Good catch!

 

[jaylew]

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....

Key point in the race. They had already botched it but still had a decent shot until that moment. All they had to do is keep rotating through but the second one person doesn't it's all over.
