He couldn't, Kwito dug extremely deep to hang on there, I was sure he was toast.Red Rick said:Good job getting back to Sagan on the Poggio. Kwiat couldn't have done that by himself I think

Was that the Muro di Sormano edition? If so, that would surely be too hard if some of the top climbers are there in reasonable shape.Brullnux said:Tonton said:I don't know about the cra(m)ps , but there's one sure thing: Alaphilippe's a heck of a rider, and I wish him to pop one or two big ones in '17.

Lombardia I think will have the 2015 route I think, which was too hard for Wellens and is more suited to climbers. He could still win, but everyone else needs to make mistakes.
That's what I think, but you never know. He still has a chance but much smaller than if it were last year's course.DFA123 said:Was that the Muro di Sormano edition?
