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

[AmRacer]

Clog the road and block him from ever getting to the front of the peloton. I think Ganda is a good chokepoint for a few dozen riders to eliminate him.

Are there any local farmers who would want to stop the race (behind the breakaway)?

Such a strike would be destructive in a good way.

Rogla has something to say to Mr. Hay Bale.

Long season for Pogi!

What is Vingegaard doing nowadays?

Remco And Rog need to make a pact.

Now Rog isn't riding, Remco will have to find a pub by himself once Pog takes off.

The only solution is to attack sooner than Pog.

He did that on saturday... It went well!

1 rider less for Masnada to beat

He did that on saturday... It went well!

But he had something in his eyes, that affected his legs.

Remco shedded a tear when Pogi left him in the dust rain.

Now Rog isn't riding, Remco will have to find a pub by himself once Pog takes off.

The real reason for Roglic skipping Lombardia is probably that he is looking for a nice pub somewhere in Bellagio to book a table for himself and Remco for Saturday.

Every pre race he's in reduced to a "where will he launch his solo" guessing game. Side talk is what record there is to break today.

I can count myself lucky I liked Pogacar from the start, and I think I still do. If I didn't maybe I'd stopped watching cycling - at least for awhile - like I did after Froome - Porte demolition combo and Visma won few races in a row and pick winner at will. It's hard to be objective as sport fan. But even so, maybe I'll get to that point too with him, even that I like him, he's dominant in the extreme even the race for second felt done by broken people.

Nothing cycling needs more than a reeled-in Pog's solo, fantasy stuffs like that.

Vingegaard did it in the Tour, just one time. It turned out to be the end of his spell of form and the beginning of Pogi's though

Dominance is boring, that's just how it is. It's not exciting to watch. But that's not the problem of the guy or the team who's winning. It's up to the rest to find a way to beat them.

Can we expect garbage coverage as usual? Turn on the cameras, watch for 10 minutes, Pog goes, race over?

1 rider less for Masnada to beat

For 20th?

 

[SafeBet]

Will it rain on Saturday? If so, they might as well just cancel it now to save time.

I doubt it will rain as much as it did yesterday, which saw yearly highs for many towns in our region and a number of rivers bursting banks.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Pog with 2 minutes, 1 minute on the top for Sormano

Obviously tuning in for greatness

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I'm not particularly annoyed but I hardly see how he is similar to Pozzato in any way, shape or form (apart from being a male human being).

They‘re also both cyclists (monument winners even) in the 21st century from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So no Rogla, hopefully other top dogs won't skip the race. Or maybe they all decided to watch the race in a pub to laugh at those who want to race against Teddy?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

im not gonna watch i think, its pointless

Saturday, 10:30 AM, Bergamo. The organizers are confused as Tadej Pogacar is the only rider at the start. There have been rumors about a mysterious virus in the peleton but they are not confirmed. A lot of riders were seen by locals in pubs in the city. It's said they don't want to race against the modern cannibal anymore.

After a long discussion, the organizers decided to let Teddy go. The Slovenian promises to attack early and make it interesting. Hovewer, TV operators are not happy about a very low views count and want to show some soap operas instead. The organizers call off the race after Pogi's 200 km solo. A loud sound resembling laugh is heard from pubs in the city center. Pogi is not happy and has a heated discussion with the organizers. Compared to it the chat with Van Baarle was very very nice. Urshka has to give him sedatives. At night locals see someone similar to Roglic ski-jumping from the cathedral tower...

They‘re also both cyclists (monument winners even) in the 21st century from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Both have a surname that starts with the letter 'P'.
Both were born in September.

I'm pretty sure the rest of the world will get over it. 🫣🤣

Not a surprise after the Vuelta. The races after seemed more of a sponsor/appearance fees contract fulfillment sleepwalk. He was spent, like Remco and Jonas. It's been a tough season on those 3 although they still got pretty great results.
