Il Lombardia 2022, one day monument, October 8, farewell to Nibali and Valverde

[TourOfSardinia]

Vingo isolated

I don't get why UAE is going so hard considering Pogacars main rivals need a harder race than he does.

 

[KZD]

A bit curious about why he's used up first of their guys. Must mean the others have better legs to stick around longer?

The others have more experience in monuments and Almeida doesn't have a great record in these races so I think he lacks a bit of endurance for these longer races. But he did a great work now on the latter part of Ghisalo.

'Cause they're not quite up there anyway.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

So long to Ala’s 2022 season, a utterly horrible season, get a good offseason and rest up for 2023 without the rainbow stripes.

Are there any Ineos riders in there? Jersey is pretty non descript but couldn't see any on the heli shots there

Finally seeing some now that people have got back on. They seemed well back though so wonder how strong they are

Is he still at the front?! Even on descents :O

 

[sir fly]

Cool to see retirees there.

Yates and Martinez for sure.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Civiglio times will be insane today based on the racing so far.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

It seems a little odd that Almeida is one of the first to be used in the UAE train, but his lack of descending skills probably means UAE thought he should go earlier.

 

[noob]

Almeida still at the front :O

 

[Fantastico]

Yates and Martinez for sure.

Carlos Rodriguez as well. He is wearing the Spanish champion jersey.

 

[topcat]

I think he's going to do it today.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

I think he's going to do it today.

You can say it’s almost in The Bag.

 

[sir fly]

I think he's going to do it today.

Obviously.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah. dropping Sormano isn't that hot of an idea

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I think he's going to do it today.

Yes, I believe in it. You could also be meaning yourself; we don‘t stand a chance. The Superpeak is working.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

That was interesting . You could literally see Bardet getting on the radio and telling Brenner he wasn‘t on his wheel.

 

[Leinster]

Have I missed a few months and tuned in for the finale of Milan San Remo? I hope Pogi attacks on the Capi.

 

[durtyfat7]

Is Landa still in the peloton?

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Will anyone drill the first San Fermo climb?

 

[Leinster]

Will anyone drill the first San Fermo climb?

Somebody has to drill something

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bag-ioli working with Nibali in the wheel. A sign!

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibali switched from UAE to Quickstep.
