[Orbit501]

Marvellous scenes!

 

[Carols]

Unbelieveable All the favs in the breakaway!

 

[noob]

Italian echelons. Now I've seen everything.

Now you can marry in peace

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ineos, trek, arkea chasing

 

[BlueRoads]

Lol, Roglic must be super-super-aero, no watts needed to hang on here.

 

[Orbit501]

All the favourites except for Ineos in the front group?

Great job by quickstep ISN and jumbo

Trek missing as well.

I believe the weather is going to be better tomorrow. So it's possible that the one race where we will have images, will be the most boring one of them all.

And you thought the race would be boring...smh

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I don't think trek were big favourites for this race, too punchy for Antonio

Trek missing as well.

Did it ever have the downhill finish into the city?

Before the break from 2007-2012 it was. Always long flat part and then Superga + downhill. Superga GPM was always at 15-10k from the finish. It was already in march from 2005-2007.

But this always used to be a big classic in october. Fall had great races thirty years ago. Starting with Giro del Lazio in mid september, followed by the almost 300k Paris-Bruxelles and the GP des Nations. The latter was the inofficial world championships of time trialing. Back then they did 90k, which was around 2hrs.

In Italy most of the classics are still the same with Emilia, Piemonte and M-T always being the days before Lombardia, sometimes one of those the week after. Oh and Paris-Tours was before Lombardia, a WC race and lasted seven hours as well.

Osborne must be feeling lonely with all his teammates up the road.

 

[noob]

Even Pog and Rogla taking turns in the breakaway <3 < 3 <3

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

you'd think they have to get it back before the first run up superga

 

[BlueRoads]

As much I like to see it I wonder if this makes any sense for the favourites apart from the training aspect - they all would have been in front in the last 20k anyway, it's not like they eliminated any of the serious contenders. If DQS have done this they of course have more guys in front than the others... but I don't know if that matters much on this kind of finish.

At least he doesn't have to work.

Trek, part of the tactic, all those favourites working hard will be tired for the Superga, let Ineos and whoever else wants to bring them back and then launch the fresh Squalo.

Tranquillo

 

[noob]

Why is DQS attacking with their domestiques??

 

[noob]

If they are supposed to help Al and Al they cannot be twenty meters ahead of the breakaway lol

 

[Climbing]

They are getting caught, but was close.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fausto Masnada pulling... Instant gap

 

[Samu Cuenca]

@Ilmaestro99, can't be too happy about Rob Hatch mistaking Masnada for Vansevenant

DQS blew this. Why not just let Devenyns ride away when he's so strong?

 

[Rollthedice]

They are getting caught, but was close.

Not.

 

[BlueRoads]

Ah, Gaudu is behind... well that's someone I'd consider a favourite.

Fausto makes wobbly style on the bike look sublime

 

[noob]

They won't reach them. Gaudu and someone else has to attack.
