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

[scribers]

That was just cruel lol

 

[Tim Cahill]

How have the Italians still not invested in proper timing equipment

 

[Valv.Piti]

The Sky era of GC riding was so boring when they strangled the race.. The only saving grace was that when they had a comfortable GC lead, they, then let the break to win the stage.

Really wasn't a saving grace most of the time. Watching random break after random break isn't good cycling

 

[Sciatic]

Remco gained 30 secs in that last corner 😆

 

[ashhutch1997]

It's like if Ricco did his col d'aspin performance on every race day from march to October

Well, it's the same managers lol.

 

[ashhutch1997]

We are getting to the point where we have fake news timing to keep the revelance in the race.

 

[proffate]

Any other decade and remco would be winning via epic solo break, and we'd be complaining that he was dominating to the point of boredom

 

[magliaroz]

It was on a straight part. Mas just let go and looked at LVE who was busy with his bidon. When he reacted it was way too late. Remco is riding a good descent, but that wasn't normal "dropping"

I'm just glad Remco is alone now, staying with Mas and LVE wasn't doing anything good for his blood pressure.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sky only won 2 monuments and as far as I remember never won this race.

They only ruined some stage races usually, mostly the tour/dauphine and a couple of others, and even then it was more exciting than this, at least there was a bit of tension.

 

[Samamba]

LVE and Mas casually losing 40 seconds in a descent is just wild.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What feed are you all watching? The time gap I see has only varied between 1:10 and 1:14 for the last few minutes. I'm watching Sporza.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This is more depressing than climate change.

 

[ashhutch1997]

People were moaning that Matteo Jorgenson was being miserable, he was just stating FACTS.

 

[Salvarani]

This is what it must have felt watching champions like Coppi, Merckx and others race. Amazing. Greatness.

 

[yaco]

Really wasn't a saving grace most of the time. Watching random break after random break isn't good cycling

These random breaks often had quality riders and their battle was more interesting then watching the Sky Train.

3: Sanremo, Liege, Roubaix

 

[ice&fire]

Am I the only one who gets what twisty roads do to GPS?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lovely waterfall!

 

[scribers]

After that great climb in front of the chase I’m glad remco was able to get away from the other two he was dragging

 

[Heston]

At least there's the track cycling world championship next week. Infinitely more interesting than this.

 

[Jack_89]

Remco's doing a really really good race. A bit unexpected since he was looking spent after wolrds and Emilia. Chapeau.

Ps if Pogacar wasn't there we would have seen the same race...with Remco vs the others. Just saying...

 

[Tim Cahill]

3: Sanremo, Liege, Roubaix

Roubaix was Ineos I think wasn't it? Post-sky era, was a pretty good race regardless iirc.

 

[Samamba]

What has cycling become, no excitement for place 1, now also no excitement for place 2 lmao

Who would've thought I would miss Valverde era

If valverde was here pigacar would win by 5 minutes

 

[Netserk]

Meh, I had hoped I would at least see Mas with a chance for 2nd and more gestures from Bambi.

It's looking good for Sivakov.
