Strade Bianche 2026, March 7, one-day race

[Netserk]

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.

gregoire also made it across then

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy lost about 40 seconds in the last 15 km. Porridge low?

 

[Salvarani]

Teddy lost about 40 seconds in the last 15 km. Porridge low?

He will ride harder on the sectors I reckon

 

[AlfaLum]

Teddy lost about 40 seconds in the last 15 km. Porridge low?

Only doing 450+w

borring for him

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Teddy lost about 40 seconds in the last 15 km. Porridge low?

He's riding in zone 0.5

 

[canina82]

He will ride harder on the sectors I reckon

He is just controlling IMO. Just like he did in Kigali, he gets 1' gap and the gap never goes down.

 

[AmRacer]

Only doing 450+w

And the others doing 500+w gaining time?

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Italian timing as usual.

 

[AlfaLum]

And the others doing 500+w gaining time?

Well he is gaining time again

 

[Krzysztof_O]

He is just controlling IMO. Just like he did in Kigali, he gets 1' gap and the gap never goes down.

He's controlling it but those gaps aren't super-reliable. Suddenly it's 1'42'' again.

 

[Salvarani]

Gap gone up again now

 

[canina82]

I handtimed:
Pogacar

1'48"

Group 2

 

[AmRacer]

Well he is gaining time again

A lot and fast

 

[canina82]

Gap gone up again now

I believe italian GPS was wrong and the gap never went to 1'20"

 

[Extinction]

This is such an honest race that it puts everything in order.

 

[Extinction]

The incredible thing is he is training for MSR

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

The incredible thing is he is training for MSR

It feels like all his races are training these days. Except for the few that aren't hard enough to drop all riders and that he deems important enough to win (MSR, PR).

 

[Extinction]

In any case, Pogacar has demoralized the competition

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The incredible thing is he is training for MSR

It's not like he's been training for the ongoing Winter Swimming World Championships.

 

[Salvarani]

Seixas and Del Toro are gonna have some duels in the future

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sad to see Del Toro reduced to this, the gap is 1.30

 

[canina82]

Seixas is not close to Pogacar but man, he is probablya top5 rider in the world right now. Next year will be interesting, maybe he can threat Pogacar.

 

[Brumdog66]

If you remove pogacar it’s actually been a great racr

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Seixas and Del Toro are gonna have some duels in the future

With those two I think the future looks bright for cycling! (Once Pog passes his prime.)
