Il Lombardia 2023

[Didinho]

Anyone else had a triple consecutive Lombardia win?

 

[AmRacer]

Crashaparz and Remco crashed.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

He barely won that, if he doesn‘t get a gap over the top everybody looks at him and Carapaz wins like it‘s the Olympics.

 

[AmRacer]

Anyone else had a triple consecutive Lombardia win?

Yes, a few

 

[Salvarani]

Yes, a few

Not three times in a row... only Binda.

And Coppi won four times in a row.

 

[Panda Claws]

Cance and Boonen had 7 monuments in their entire career and Pogi has 5 of them at 25

7?

Counting GT's but not Boonen's WC are we?

 

[Froome]

It's a shame that @Logic-is-your-friend is still making a protest here. I wanted to ask him, if remco is still the best one day racer.

 

[noob]

Rog just ahead of Vlasov

 

[HelloDolly]

Pog fabulous one day racer. Of course he says he loves the long stages

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yes, the best rider in the world, and it aint even close!

 

[Red Rick]

So I think the gaps in strength were quite small, but Roglic fried himself on Ganda and then needed to recover, and the G2 fried themselves on Bergamo Alta allowing Roglic to come back.

 

[roundabout]

Not three times in a row... only Binda.

Coppi has 4 in a row I think

 

[Salvarani]

Coppi has 4 in a row I think

Yes, I just edited that as well. Then he won the 5th a few years later.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

No, it was at 11.5. It was legal.

Didn't know you had such loose child marriage laws in Denmark.

 

[Faserr]

Yes. Roglic just couldn't follow on the descent. Tired after the hard climb and Pog was taking risks.

 

[Rob5091]

I think it says a lot when Bagioli is up there fighting for a podium spot. Vlasov also seemed to blow up after catching Pogacar. Kron 10th!? What!

 

[Tim Cahill]

At least United are losing again I suppose, gotta look for the positives here

 

[HelloDolly]

Bagioli very vey good there

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Coppi and Binda are the only ones according to German ES.

This also apparently was Pogacars 20th(!) solo win.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sad that there aren‘t many positives in cycling at the moment

 

[Valv.Piti]

Dno what Roglic is thinking. Its like Quintana at the Peyresourde in 2016, total lack of attention.

 

[Rob5091]

Now Tibo, there's some goats waiting for their dinner, so hurry along now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Last time you wrote that in this thread, he closed the gap to Pogi on the top of Ganda afterwards.

If you think Roglic rode as well today as he usually does in a sub-200k race, you must have a very low opinion of his qualities for someone who's a fan of his.

 

[Rackham]

I think the strongest won.

Rog was cooked after Ganda. He got dropped on that final cobbled climb as well. We've also seen this scenario again & again where the chase group just doesn't work well together. But I think Pog would have dropped everyone at the end anyway.

First Triple Lombardia Winner since Cunego.
But yeah, Big Slov ist a deserving winner.
