Il Lombardia 2025, monument, October 11

[Cycling111]

How many neo-pros can ride a strong 250kms.

I've already said he can improve. But as of today, it's clear he didn't perform as well in those races because of the mileage, not dute to fatigue, or it would have been more noticeable today. Or he wouldn't have failed just in San Sebastian.

It seems no coincidence that his worst results in the fall were in the three races over 200km: San Sebastian, Rwanda, and Lombardia.

By de way, Del Toro isn't a neo-pro; he's a second-year rider.

There's no picture of when Simmons dropped Del Toro?

Del Toro never caught Simmons, so you could say he dropped Del Toro at km 0.

Del Toro was showing signs of being about to be dropped by Remco & Storer when coverage cut away to show Pogacar summiting the Ganda, When the cameras cut back there was a 30 m gap. Remco & Storer caught Simmons just before the top, and dropped Simmons soon after the top on a short rise.
