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.No images until then so it doesn't matter
These days it does. We have to blame van der Poel, Pogacar and Evenepoel for that.Does a race really need to have three hours of action to be in the running for be considered great these days?

Yes, a much stronger field tomorrow. And Alaphillipe can be just as crazy as Remco so we'll seeBernocchi wasn't that exciting to be honest. We had no images and the peloton surrendered almost immediately. And although cycling purists love to see long range attacks succeed, there was no fight for the win at all. We all knew who was going to win, and how was he going to do it. The only excitment in the final 30km was if the gap would be 2min or 3min.
Tomorrow the last 30min should be a lot more exciting.
Alaphilippe attacking on the first climb then getting 25th seems likely to me.Yes, a much stronger field tomorrow. And Alaphillipe can be just as crazy as Remco so we'll see
Didn't he do something similar in 2017 or 2018 already?Alaphilippe attacking on the first climb then getting 25th seems likely to me.
That does seem likely, but then I expected the same at world's so heaven knows.Alaphilippe attacking on the first climb then getting 25th seems likely to me.
Compensate for him being underrated in Leuven.Alaphilippe really overrated for this one.

Forget my last post, it's pouring down atm. This is probably the wettest week of the year around here. Must be a sign telling me I shouldn't get married on Saturday and watch Lombardia instead.

That's how the weather forecast yesterday looked as well; rain in the morning but none when they were starting nor until the finish line.I can just about see some blue sky and the rain has stopped now in Milan so I think it might all turn out alright, I wouldn't go returning your tux to the shop just yet
It's a big week for you and Nibali. Getting married can be a bit nerve-wracking. But don't worry, I've done it several times and it always worked out.Forget my last post, it's pouring down atm.
