Milano-Torino 2026, March 18

[Rob5091]

Pidders gets the win! THJ just 2nd & Roglic 3rd.

 

[AlfaLum]

Best parts of that race were when ijdtedbrockes went full sprint out of the saddle to try and attack and just didn't even get a gap jajajaja

When Uijtdebroeks sprints he doesnt product any extra watts so it makes sense

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Where is Bum Christen?

Not a real climber, just too long for him

He is probably the only rider whose attack actually decreases the gap to the chasers

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Roglstomp no match for the Tommy Gun.

I think he was pretty much sprinting all the way, it was just the others that didn't keep the same intensity at all times.

 

[Netserk]

There's always a Cepeda sneaking in somewhere.

yeah i did consider the ef one but they have both gone under the radar before today so didnt trust them

 

[benzwire]

Old man Roglic forgetting to stomp? Get that earpiece in and activate him. He looked like he was out for a recovery ride the whole way. I miss the stomp of years past...
That said, he looked great today

 

[canina82]

Where is Bum Christen?

He probably saved some energy for MSR after understanding he wouldn't win today.

 

[yaco]

Another decent performance from Berwick.

I expect Jayco will bif for his services as they need another climber.

 

[Rob5091]

Not sure why Pellizzari was struggling but Roglic could have used him.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

As soon as Pidcock attacked, it was clear that was going to stick. Bad time for Rogla to let him slip away right before the hairpin. Decent showing for Roglic. Not a win, but encouraging. Where was Pellizzari? Tendons must be acting up because you'd think based on T-A that he would have been there competing for the win.

 

[canina82]

Great attack by Pidcock to win this race.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I think we maybe over hyped gee a little bit

he probably shouldnt have raced today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Christen looks to be coming towards the end of his form curve, he wasn't at his absolute best in Tirreno but still did a really good job for his teammate, shelled by the Seb Berwick's of the world here.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Mate do you know why jayco did not send double to altitude training for the upcoming races??? Bad shape today and Schmidt was on teide after oman

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If he keeps riding like this there will probably be more teams interested in signing him.

 

[Netserk]

I think we maybe over hyped gee a little bit

i think he has put in huge volume earlier than last year , so today was like the first stage of tota last year

only making me more confident he will be in contention for the podium in catalunya

 

[Peyresourde]

Preliminary calculations for today's race (subject to further review):

Tom Pidcock | 72 (-8): 6.95 W/kg for 13:39 on Superga (full climb)

This is 2 seconds slower than Roglic in 2021 and over 20 seconds slower than Del Toro last year. Roglic did the first ascent at 6.89 w/kg for 12:02, which put some fatigue into the legs. The last climb was quite tactical without a consistent pace, which caused the slower time.

As expected, Roglic looked quite good today, but without a good Pellizzari, it was impossible to win against Pidcock.

Pidcock not in the same shape as last year. Doubt he can follow on Cipressa like this

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It was very much a yo-yo ride by him. Considering he couldn't/didn't follow any of the attacks finishing 4th is not a bad result at all.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Oh wow I missed he was 4th.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Looks like they sent him to this race for probably the same reasons that they will send him to Trentjno before the giro instead of the normal prep of no racing after catalunya

 

[Netserk]

Pidcock not in the same shape as last year. Doubt he can follow on Cipressa like this

this says nothing about his shape , he knew he could wait until they were in striking distance of his sprint

 

[The bald fraud]

Good timing by Pidcock. Deserved win.
