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

[Netserk]

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

Are you watching the race? The gap keeps expanding.

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.

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

 

[proffate]

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?

Only by way of teamwork in flat classics...

Dude is strong. This is a little scary

 

[magliaroz]

This could have been a legendary solo win for Remco. Instead he is getting destroyed by rainbow slovenian hulk.

A Hemingway quote on a cycling forum, I'm impressed!

 

[johnymax]

Lol at those gaps

 

[Samamba]

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?

Depends on Molano I guess. Hirschi will win at least one, probably 2 honestly.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

It is really mindblowing to me that you can derstoy the whole field on a monument by over 2 minutes and still look bleak and vulnerable, because of one other cyclist, who happens to be cosplaying some old belgian dude from the 70ies.

 

[Bombarolo]

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) ?

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

Best naps of my life in those tdf weeks!

He has done that tbf. Improving and still developing going into his prime.

 

[ice&fire]

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

Are you talking 1989 TDF or 2012 Giro?

 

[Didinho]

Remco found someone to be angry with. Cycling is back.

(I guess he wants to know how much he’s in front and hasn’t got working communication)

 

[MJR]

He's making the stomping of the world's best look routine. Just incredible.

2017 Tour

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

And there we have it for those waiting for it: Remco mad at the moto. Fill in your bingo cards accordingly.

 

[johnymax]

Chill Remco, why are you so tense. Just ride your bike and have fun.

 

[scribers]

I’m getting a little worried devils elbow is going to tackle pogi on this climb

 

[Salvarani]

He's making the stomping of the world's best look routine. Just incredible.

Lots of hard work behind it. Very inspirational. So impressive.

 

[Samamba]

TV directors need to learn from F1 and show other riders more when there's dominance like this, there's literally nothing to see up front, it's just a guy on a bike not even trying anymore cause he doesn't need to.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Tbf with this advantage he could give the guy a five... Or like 2137 of them

 

[Simurgh]

Pinot went solo at that point. You may want to watch a few more kilometers.

That's right! Pinot handing out successive blows before Nibali cracked. Two amazing, relatable, real racers duking it out that day.
