Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

[YavorD]

Pidcock is not going to win this race, because he is not smart.

Because he wasn't strong enough*.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pidcock didn't win because he is miles worse than Pogacar

 

[repre]

With another monument in the bag is Pogi closer to Mercx than ever???

proof?

 

[Froome]

Because he wasn't strong enough*.

In normal conditions he is not strong enough to beat pogacar, but after the crash of pogacar, he had a chance, but he thinks he is good enough to not be a wheelsucker against him.

 

[zlev11]

ended up being a really good race but this race really needs to get a stronger startlist next year

Not sure exactly who that guy is on the TNT Sports commentary is, but that is quite a sweater. A real statement, that.

It's (the not very popular on here) Adam Blythe. In the age of UHD, we can appreciate its full magnificence.

proof?

MSR, PR, Tour Flandres, LBL, and Il Lombardia are the monuments in cycling.

 

[Netserk]

Good interview with Swift.

 

[zlev11]

also why is eurosport/tnt so allergic to showing the full top 10 finish the race? so annoying

 

[Peyroteo94]

Good interview with Swift.

Very emotional

Pogacar wanting to do as many interviews as possible to avoid that shower pain

Was ok when he was getting hugged and slapped on it

Naah even today he would've been smoked in the sprint.
He didn't have a real chance today.

You still think he is less impressivr this year? After his attack I changed my mind to be honest (he looks as dominant as last year). He was probably toying with Pidcock in Sante Marie

Did Tom give an interview?
Is what did he say?

Not that I've seen yet. Really hoping to hear from him.

My wife just walked in the room saw it and said 'God that's awful and he can't pull that off' LOL

 

[MartinGT]

Thanks, my eyes are now bleeding.

I think it's simply that Pidcock got considerably better this year and had still enough in tank to stay with Pog in Sante Marie but didn't have it anymore in the finale. Pogacar's performance was very impressive. In absolute terms maybe worse than last year but considering the circumstances it was as impressive as in 2024.
