After seeing women's race, just remembered how easy is the route. He is not gonna finish inside the top5.

 

[Salvarani]

If he doesn't win this year, I don't know when he will win it. Raining, cold, tailwind. Everything is there!

It is a race you can win in so many ways. Unexpected ways, as well.

He will keep going for it whatever the result. He is a true racer and a champion.

The route has been the same for mens for a while now and he finished 3rd last year.

MSR always had a easy route. There is no surprise about that [deleted]

Exactly. This is why I know what I am talking about. Problem half of this forum didn't follow MSR 20 years ago and don't know how criticized this race was.

Just saw the whole uae team lining at the back of the peleton. It seems like they first want to organize the team and hit capo berta on a full line

They need to do that in Cipressa not Berta

Proud of our boy but just like last year 1 man missing at Cipressa

Now I believe he will win one day

 

[Divergence]

Maybe next year if he does not ride that ridiculous bike.

Del toro cost pogi MSR today

 

[scribers]

They all were too far back at the start of the climb. Wellens needed binoculars to find pogi. And was toast before pogi even got to him.

 

[CatchyH]

Del Toro didn't cost him anything. Cipressa and Poggio simply aren't hard enough to drop a rider like MVDP after he had an easy ride for 260km. He had to drop him to win and he couldn't. He was mighty strong today but this race just doesn't suit him.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Del toro cost pogi MSR today

No, he didn't. A better positioning is crucial. He just Wellens and Narvaez.

misplaced positions costs 10 seconds on the climb. Difference in effort kept mvp in contact

 

[Salvarani]

Del toro cost pogi MSR today

Dont agree with that.

 

[Berniece]

He’ll win it once easily, he just needs to wait until MVDP isn’t in this shape there

 

[Monsi]

Pogi messed up his sprint, not that he had a chance anyway. You have to stay on MVDP's wheel. Or he should've attacked at like 600 to go.

Yeah, it was MVP who caused Pogi's loss, not Del Toro. Still, a very impressive performance and the best MSR finale in years.

one man missing on cipressa, pog is a monster, don't be fooled by the victory of mvdp, pogi was way stronger, I have no idea how he could do all those efforts with his nose in the wind and that wheel sucker behind him. I'm quite convinced that the crash in sb took that 0.5% out of him that today would have come in handy, you could see that in the last part of poggio he was on the limit. I have already heard comments that mvdp was stronger today, which is not the case, you have no idea what it means to have your nose in the wind for half cipressa and almost all the poggio with those shallow gradients and high speed

 

[Peyroteo94]

MSR is only great because of Pogi and other people are trying to convince me, it is great no matter what... dellusional

He will pay for this race at Flanders
