Il Lombardia 2025, monument, October 11

[Netserk]

I'd say last year was worse.
Okay, maybe not worse, but certainly not better.

Last year at least had a better route. This will be the third time with an identical route where nothing is possible before Ganda.

You are severely understating Pogacar's addiction for Bollywood wins

Last race of the season for Pogi, he's all in, no gifts, no prisoners.
UAE train motors up Crocetta (7 - 11%) and Pogi launches on final part of Zambla (8 - 10%) around 60km. If anyone follows him down, he'll go again at Ganda (7 - 15%), at 30km.

Pogi is going to smash this. It won't be fun to watch.

Crocetta attack on the cards?

Final race for Rafal Majka. Would be a dream if he would podium the Lombardia

@majkaformal at the end of the season he will park his @Colnagoworld to spend more time with his family. The strongest domestique in the group, first with @Albertocontador then @petosagan and now @TamauPogi
will he return as ds?

Majka sceglie la famiglia, ma non esclude di tornare (da diesse)

Rafal Majka si ritirerà a fine stagione. Decisione presa a gennaio per stare accanto ai figli. Un gregario extra lusso. E il futuro (forse) in ammiraglia

Well, you need to convince Ganna, Tarling, Kung, Roglic, hayter and Jorgenson to attack km 0, with Evenepoel. Then work for him for the first 150 km in a long TTT. No relay from Remco.
No help to UAE behind.
By then Pogacar should be alone with Del Toro, 5min behind.
Then as soon as Pogacar start riding, launch Remco.
Maybe he can hold that advantage until TV broadcast start.

Isaac Del Toro absolutely loves the guy.
He has shown some moments during his final season. Can't imagine anyone better at helping young, developing racers and he knows absolutely everything about bike racing. If I were starting, talented and shopping for a team and Majka was the DS that would be a really positive factor. He will be missed at UAE.

Pogi realising he can't drop Rogla and Rogla doing 0 work, that would be entertaining.

I don't think Pogi realises that, no

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pogi realising he can't drop Rogla and Rogla doing 0 work, that would be entertaining.

Then someone else will probably have dropped them both.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Then someone else will probably have dropped them both.

At best then Remco will catch them and after both Pogi and Remco realising they can't drop Rogla and Rogla doing 0 work, that would be more then just entertaining.

Remco will be furious

Remco & Eddy options aren't very popular but many of our experts believe some Fausto will win! We should have a good race.

Most anticipated Monument of the season (that's left on the calendar).

Spoiler

Still think I'm going to train on rollers and replay PR or RVV.

Could you please stop spoiling the race results? Some of us would like to enjoy the suspense. Thank you.

Forwarding this straight to UAE team management.

The morale on the forum is still quite high in those dark times! Lord Pogimort can't break our experts' hopes.

 

[Potomac]

I voted Fausto, I think he made a deal with the devil.

 

[Valv.Piti]

CyclistAbi still tries his hardest while the rest of the Roglic crew have tampered their expectations accordingly

Its obvious that Roglic won't be anywhere near the three best riders.

1. Pog
2. Remco
3. Del Toro
