Il Lombardia 2024, one day monument, October 12, farewell to Domenico Pozzovivo

[Poursuivant]

I can’t remember ever seeing odds that short (2/7) on a rider to win a race.

 

[houtdffan]

this shows why Remco was dumb as a box of rocks at the worlds

He should have just ridden, not gesticulated. He wasted far more than the minute he lost there

Now, he wouldn't have won. VDP probably wins in that scenario. But still. He just needs to ride his race and if he gets second behind Pog so be it

 

[Escarabajo]

LOL. You can't fix stupid!

 

[Samamba]

Gaps are just stupidly big once again

 

[Salvarani]

I was told that Evenepoel would be the better rouleur in rolling terrain even when dropped by Wonderboy.

They forgot that after a long and hard race... what matters is how much you have left in the legs. Usually the guy infront is probably the strongest that day.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pog hardly looks tired. Remco looks like he's been through some things.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Polish commentators said, that Pogacar just beat his own Sormano Climb record from a training last week by 1:20.

Well, and yet He was doing the same here. He got away by accident, IMHO.

 

[YavorD]

He would be if his sponsor was an oligarch and not a glue company

Wasn't Quick Step known for their riders overperforming?
So it's almost safe to assume that Remco would be worse in UAE and Pog better in QS?

 

[ice&fire]

That golden bike and helmet of Remco look gaudy

 

[Samamba]

I said over 3 minutes gap somewhere.

I was wrong about Evenepoel having a passable day today

Yeah Remco actually very descent today given how far he is ahead of the others, but yeah Pogacar...

 

[Brullnux]

Guess that we might have a different TT champ if Pogacar simply had participated this year.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Remco beat Pogacar pretty comfortable in a hilly TT when they were both in top shape

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Eeeek, some surprise wetness on the road in the corner

 

[Salvarani]

That golden bike and helmet of Remco look gaudy

Really, Gaudi?

I think he would take offense to that.

 

[Faserr]

Evenepoel is really good today but Pog is out of this world. Never seen something like that.

 

[Ricco']

Is Pogacar really the biggest cyclist alive if he misses Tour of Guangxi?

 

[Snake]

Pogacar pulling a 54 km/h mini TT after 200 km, just lmao

 

[Sciatic]

Now they're on the flat, isn't this the time that Remco is supposed to reel Pog in and win the race.

Not when he knows he’s already out of it.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Polish commentators said, that Pogacar just beat his own Sormano Climb record from a training last week by 1:20.

[vwpe]

Ironic cause we heard from his fans that Remco can easily stick to Pog's wheel.

I just find people who say things like that hard to get their actually watching cycling or wishful thinking. Evenepoel is phenomenal but Pogacar is on a level noone else in the world (and history of the sport) is easy to see.

 

[Danskebjerge]

They should have stayed on Pogacars wheel when he attacked, and they should work together to catch him. That way they could have beaten him.

(Just being sarcastic.)

 

[dgodave]

Ok thats it. 165mm cranks for me.

 

[Sciatic]

Sivakov almost crashed into a lady of reasonable carriage crossing the road Could've been disastrous.

For a second he looked like a heat-seeking missile closing in on her

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

I've seen much smaller gaps in 3-week tours.

 

[pastronef]

UAE has 8 racing days left after Lombardia. 6 in Guanxhi 1 Giro del Veneto, 1 Veneto Classic

with Lombardia they have 81 wins. get they beat HTC's 85?
