Strade Bianche: August 1, 2020

[Leinster]

Bettiol did much of the work closing the gap to the Bird.

GVA and WVA looked like the weakest links.

Gva is never going to work with anyone. He’s going to follow wheels all the way to the ramp into Siena.

 

[Pantani_lives]

It's a toss up between Schachmann and Birdsong.

Bettiol making this his 2nd pro win would be on hell of a story though

He won a stage in Bessège this year!

He won an ITT earlier this season

Yeah, that was a major screw-up (by Bettiol that is, not the other poster).

I’d love to see Formolo pull it off. At 27, he’s in danger of getting put into that “Underachievers of the last20 years” thread

 

[TomLPC]

Gaps come down to 1:10

Not outside the realms that stybar et al come back if the front group start messing around, but he would probably be too cooked by that time to do anything

 

[fuiers]

Under a minute now.

 

[HelloDolly]

where is Kwaitowski

 

[Climbing]

"Vincenzo Nibali has abandoned the race. He was suffering from a pain in his left hand after his crash. "

 

[Gigs_98]

where is Kwaitowski

Dropped on the long sterrato section

 

[Gigs_98]

"Vincenzo Nibali has abandoned the race. He was suffering from a pain in his left hand after his crash. "

Oh ffs, it's gonna be broken isn't it

 

[fuiers]

Avanti!! What an attack by Max

 

[TomLPC]

Van Aert looks so easy

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Two best ITT'ers

 

[Rollthedice]

"Vincenzo Nibali has abandoned the race. He was suffering from a pain in his left hand after his crash. "

Hopefully it's just that it wasn't worth it to go to the finish in this heat and dust.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Possibly the ideal rider for Schachmann to break away with.

 

[HelloDolly]

like Schachmann,

 

[Velolover2]

Schachmann is the ultimative opportunist. That was a nice attack.

 

[TomLPC]

Bettiol and Formolo are being played for fools here I fear

 

[Climbing]

Hopefully it's just that it wasn't worth it to go to the finish in this heat and dust.

Most likely, just "as precaution" they said anyway, after double puncture and crash.

 

[fuiers]

GVA dropped.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

GVA dropped

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Jakob at it again

 

[fuiers]

Fuglsang gonna attack soon

 

[Carols]

Oh ffs, it's gonna be broken isn't it

Yikes I hope Not. Milano-Sanremo is next weekend!
