[saunaking]

Is it gonna be Pidcock vs Pogacar??? FFS

 

[AmRacer]

Thanks Eurosport for reminding me I'm watching Strade Bianche 2026, because looking at the race leader this could be whatever year

2019?

 

[Netserk]

Was about to happen. Healy caught a spectator.

another drawback of the circuit

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Not very good crowd control on that final sector.

 

[postmanhat]

Lapeira on a better day again. Good to see.

After his interrupted 2025, has really pushed on again this year. Brilliantly versatile rider to have on your team.

 

[Salvarani]

Good to see Kron doing well!

 

[Salvarani]

Del Toro wants second. Does not want to let anyone go away.

 

[Salvarani]

Look at those pictures of the crowd!

Real cycling fans

 

[Boehmand]

Good to see Kron doing well!

Yeah, he seems back to his old self, after a couple of years with multiple injuries and operations ruining his career.

A few posts already deleted for clinic reasons: Others will get an insta-ban. Take it to the clinic if you want to make such accusations.

 

[Boehmand]

Btw, Valgreen is back to his former self too

 

[Heston]

Strong group 2 now, but the UAE riders are dooming it

 

[Netserk]

will uae race behind pogi or do they still need to disrupt the chase

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Gap is getting smaller, but the race is on in the chase group and Pog is probably pacing a bit.

Not really sure why people are hating on a 19 year old for having confidence

This. For a brief moment I thought we would have a race in front of us. Pogacar made me eat my words though.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Valgren realizes he dropped Healy.

 

[AmRacer]

Are we having an AGR2025 moment?

 

[Didinho]

Gianni! What an effort.

 

[Netserk]

uae getting an armchair ride to the podium sweep

Not really sure why people are hating on a 19 year old for having confidence

the French twitter is very bitter this afternoon. a pocket of French fans having a go and Decath and Seixas because they're too strong. they're too used to FDJ and Cofidis.

 

[Boehmand]

Healy is such an odd duck.

Every time you think he is dead and buried, up he pops again.

 

[postmanhat]

Probably up to Kron now in G3? Can't see that happening unfortunately. They could end up getting caught by the peleton,

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I think the race for second should be exciting, very strong riders in group 2.

 

[Extinction]

Del Toro? What can he do, a bull, but not Superman?

 

[AlfaLum]

So basically the only thing that the Simmons/Healy/Kron move has done for the race is adding Vermeersch and another UAE rider to the chase group.
