Bardet 2nd, Uran 3rd.

 

[Arredondo]

Chavito big favorite for Lombardia. Wonderful form atm!

Esteban Chaves (Orica BikeExchange)
Romain Bardet (Ag2R La Mondiale) a 2"
Rigoberto Uran (Cannondale Drapac) a 3"
Fabio Aru (Astana) a 3"
Jan Bakelants (Ag2R La Mondiale) a 10"
Rodolfo Torres (Androni - Sidermec) a 10"

[Ryo Hazuki]

colombian party again _O_

 

[Valv.Piti]

Chavito.

The last winner of Emilia who also won Lombardia was Bartoli in 2002. I'm not really sure how much this year's route suits Chaves, Emilia suits him more.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Ah I hope Jantje snatches a victory somewhere

 

[Taxus4a]

I am looking fordward to watch the race, it must has bee a great race, as always..but thi year especially... with great climbers for the win: Chaves, Uran, Bardet ad Aru, all of them podium in a GT.

The delayed coverage kinda sucked, but at least this year RCS didn't try to sabotage the whole thing by having the Abu Dhabi Tour at the same time (that useless oil money race also weakened the field at Paris - Tours).
First they cancelled Roma Maxima/Giro del Lazio and then they tried to mess with a big, important Italian one day race that they don't own, that was just horrible.
Back to Emilia, the race really deserves a really strong field, it's such an iconic climb and a really important race.

 

[Flyjin3]

Disagree. Previous edition cycling fans were able to see this race

Last year they produced a very good TV Coverage . Long Vids on Youtube etc. This year: Nothing. Despite a Line Up wich was 10 times better than at Eneco.

So the most important is missing. Sponsors will need the race on TV or it won`t exist soon

 

[jens_attacks]

was giro dell'emilia ever live broadcasted except 2012?

there is also the edition ullrich won on youtube but was it live or just recorded?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ruffoni wins Begheli in front of PIPPO

 

[May0maniac]

Pippo finished ahead of Keukeleire and Colbrelli, he has to be in good shape.

 

[BigMac]

Is the Giro del Piemonte route the same as last year?

Costa will be doing that and Milano - Torino. Hope he doesn't overcook it for Lombardia.

Re:

Colbrelli led out Ruffoni I imagine.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Eurosport will broadcast Varesine and Milan - Turin. How hilly is the course in Varesine?

The problem is Rai, they don't want to make live coverage of this races. The organizers need to find another broadcaster.

RAI have a limited budget so the live/helicopters stuff is off limits except for classics/StradeB/TA and il Giro.
They have not been able to afford to show the Vuelta live, in my memory.

 

[Eshnar]

it is not that they couldn't afford it, they just didn't agree on the price asked by Unipublic years ago, and their relations got only worse over time.

I don't think Rai has a problem of budget, they throw money and money for other events. If there is a limited budget is only for Rai Sport and is a choice of the management.
Anyway if small races want to survive they need a broadcaster that show live images. Plenty of italian small races are gone in recent years because with the lack of coverage they can't find sponsors to cover the costs of organization.
I remember races with a long history like Giro del Veneto, Giro di Puglia, Trofeo dello Scalatore, Giro di Sardegna, Giro del Friuli, GP Camaiore, Coppa Placci, Giro di Romagna, Giro della Provincia di Reggio Calabria (and probably i missed more) something like 15 years ago were all shown live on Rai 3, then they stopped and are all gone
