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

[scribers]

It's hilarious that Pogacar in 2022 and 2023 "struggled" to win this race despite how strong he was.

It shows the insane improvement he has made this year. Is Javier Sola the greatest coach of all time (after Conconi) ?

I’d love to have solas resume right now

 

[yaco]

like Strade Bianche, Catalunya, Giro, Montreal, Emilia, Lombardia this season

I enjoy watching dominant riders who attack from afar. And it's interesting to watch the battle for the minor places.

 

[Sciatic]

Mas on his way to securing a big win today as well!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Remco being mad that he's not arrived at the pub yet

 

[Bolder]

Mas is not just a passive rider but a negative one.

 

[KZD]

Was literally thinking this, this week, he could potentially get double figures here

Double figures could be a bit too much as it would imply him riding Lombardia every year and still being one of the best riders in the world well into his 30s but as @Devil's Elbow pointed out the record of wins in the same monument is in danger because I see Pogačar winning this race up to 7 or 8 times.

This is a monstrous performance even for Pogačar though. Remco losing more than 2:30min and the chasing group losing 4:30min. Gaps worthy of a Grand Tour.

There was never any tension when Sky rode stage races. It was dead-set boring!

Yes but that was only a few races a year, not every race they enter like this.

 

[Tim Cahill]

There are some potentially funny riders behind the mas group that could podium I think, is Ion still there?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sivakov riding like the Russians are onto him.

 

[Netserk]

Don't really mind Sivakov mugging the two clowns at this point.

I enjoy seeing selections play out from such distances. No rui costas hiding from the wind

 

[TrekCyclist]

So if Evenepoel was not here today, Pogacar would win by around 5 min ????

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The great Sivakov drops the lessor riders pretty easily.

 

[Salvarani]

Sivakov!!!

Wow

 

[Samamba]

4th group not that far behind Mas and Van Eetvelt, 20ish seconds

 

[Snake]

This is a joke

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bauke is coming back

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

You guys think he is even tired or at least mildly fatigued?

 

[proffate]

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

I bet you don't even believe in the tooth fairy

 

[Poursuivant]

Remco first of the mortals

 

[Miha81]

A bit of stretch before final 3km

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Red Rick called the 3 minute gap, I think. And there it is.

 

[TrekCyclist]

Lots of hard work behind it.

Yeah, right. The others should start working a bit harder next year. They cannot all of them doing Jan Ullrich duing winters any longer.

 

[glassmoon]

So if Evenepoel was not here today, Pogacar would win by around 5 min ????

yep... and in front of his teammate

 

[magliaroz]

Ciccone could make it to the podium!!
