Apparently Vegni thinks that RCS needs it's own version of Schelde****...

Then atleast do it one of the days after MSR so that the best sprinters stay in Italy to ride it. When Kristoff and Kayden Groves are amongst the top favorites you know you failed.

Lol, what the flying *** is this garbage??? Why has the race been moved and stripped of its whole identity? God damn this is pathetic, be sure NOT to tune into this race in protest (not many many reasonable human beings would do that anyways). What a load of trash!

The whole history of the race is that it's been held many times in march and october as either prep for San Remo or Lombardia. In the 80's, 90's, 00's it was held in both spots so I don't agree that moving it to today defies the races history. It's previous spot in March has obviously been taken over by Strade so I don't think it's a bad idea to put the race today with Tirreno moving up two days.

Holy, this week is just sad. After Tirreno got moved, theres literally not one single race to watch between the weekends. Has it always been like that? It probably has, but moving Tirreno just makes it a bit more noticeable, also after getting used to good racing every single day.

Yeah, but next week should be better.

It’s meant to give us a week to lower our blood pressure after the tension and stress over who would come out on top in Tirreno;)

Denain, c'est demain, pardon my French!

You're not going to watch a cobbled race featuring Roglic, Vingegaard, Adam Yates and Martínez?

Just turning it on and I guess I still tuned in too early with 23k to go. I had hoped that maybe some of the strong guys without a sprinter would try and go in a break but judging by the fact that there hasn't been a single post about the actual racing tells me this race has been just as bad as we all thought it would be.

If you're EF, Bora, Astana, AG2R, Movistar, or UAE why wouldn't you try to go on the attack? What have you got to lose? Why are you even here?

EF gets no credit for an attack there. They were just riding tempo (for some ridiculous reason) and TE just let the wheel go.

But they have reaped the rewards of the peloton's generosity and the Irishman is now thundering towards the triumph.
