Strade Bianche 2023, March 4, one-day classic (men's & women's)

[Devil's Elbow]

Do these people have bets placed on Pidcock or what?

 

[KZD]

No one wants to work with Costa. That will be enough to give Pidcock the win.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Very stupid messing about in the chase group, even by the usual standards of classics chase groups

 

[limak_]

Piddcock attacked at basically the same place as Pogi last year.

 

[postmanhat]

Lol. Chasers riding like they're in the final 500m of a sprint

 

[titan31]

I really don't get what Jumbo or Costa are doing. Although, at least it's expected that Costa does this

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Jumbo doing a masterclass on working the group over. Too bad no one has told them that Pidcock is ahead.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert and Roglic are better teammates when representing their countries than Valter and Benoot while both in Jumbo Visma.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This is proper meme stuff.

 

[Potomac]

They are riding for 2nd place now

 

[Red Rick]

I understand tbh. They're just riding to make Rui Costa lose.

 

[Andy262]

All that chasing to then hand it back to pidcock.

Jumbofail

 

[Samamba]

Pls just pls Pidcock win this so I can see Jumbo going completely mad after this race

 

[Riek s]

good that JV is a really good team of friends who ride for each other and that is how they make the difference with other teams. (dixit benoot last weekend).


Also, exactly the behaviour of the chasers as we are used to. when they get close the drop again because nobody wants to close the final gap.

...with Benoot and Valter in 2nd and 3rd for extra effect.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rabobank are BACK, put the contract on the table.

 

[Salvarani]

Whoever said Pidcock wasnt a winner really broke the "curse" lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

...with Benoot and Valter in 2nd and 3rd for extra effect.

Or have the peloton come back, even better.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Costa wanting some of that Valverde mojo.

 

[Red Rick]

Rabobank are BACK, put the contract on the table.

Give me the whole copypasta please

 

[Didinho]

I write it down. Tom wins.

 

[titan31]

Still think this was a very dumb way to ride but fair play to Pidcock for winning by doing it.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Well done Pidcock, you deserved it man.

 

[Andy262]

Chapeau Tom, bunch of clowns behind.

 

[Salvarani]

Great ride!

What a win for Pidcock.

It worked because everyone else rode even dumber. Bizarre race, equal parts infuriating and entertaining.
