Tre Valli Varesine 2022 (October 4th)

[Devil's Elbow]

The last test ahead of Lombardia (RIP Milano-Torino). This is always a good one, just as long as they don't send the front group the wrong way - a shame it's another RAI-only broadcast...

Startlist

The route
Identical to last year, so I've quoted my OP from that edition below.

The route

Similar to previous years, with one ascent of Casbeno on the run-in, eight laps with Montello (not that one) and Casbeno, and then two 8-shaped laps with Montello, Morosolo, Casciago and Casbeno. Here's the profiles and maps of these circuits:

Awesome. Who will beat Pogacar this time?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

So basically all the favorites for Lombardia are there bar Vingegaard. Instead JV have brought the real Chris Harper, Gesink and Thomas Gloag? Weird

 

[Mayomaniac]

Some decent names in the breakaway, they have an advantage of 2:15 after 32kms :

Why is Prudhomme at the team presentation?

Why is Prudhomme at the team presentation?

he was at a race organisers meeting nearby last night and gave a speech.
According to the RAI guys.

I'm Christian, I'm a cyclist, I'm a director...

The gap is closing.
Maybe it kicks off from further out.

 

[Lequack]

If Enric Mas wins this one, then he automatically also wins Lombardia.

 

[Samamba]

Why is Hermans in the break? Isn't this just some sort of uphill sprint in dry weather usually?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bax is Back
at the front

Probably because the form isn't there.

Although this race has become more selective since they added the long circuit at the end.

 

[Lequack]

Jay Vine on the attack.

 

[Rollthedice]

Jay Vine is zwifting.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE look pretty intimidating, they do need to start trimming down this group though.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nibali, Pogačar and Adam Yates at the front. GCN were right all along.

[Mayomaniac]

The race has re-gained some prestige in the last few years (it was rather bad start-list and winner wise 2007-2014), but before that it was a big deal and was often won by big names. Multiple wins by Gianni Motta, Saronni & Francesco Moser (not to mention Coppi, Bartali and Magni, but they won nearly every Italian semiclassic at some point. Other winners over the years are Eddie, Ballerini, Bugno, Chiapucci, Bontempi, Pascal Richard, Rebellin, Di Luca, Garzelli (twice). It used to be a big deal, looking at the list of the winners it's clearly more impressive than something like Milano-Torino.

Not sure what causes me to miss more action in races being only on RAI - having to find an unreliable stream, or the ad breaks.

Edit: I forgot option three - said streams not changing channels when RAI does.

There's still some racing on living being powered artifacts with wheels

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Martinez, Herrada and Formolo on the move.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Anyone Got new stream ad I gave trotting on RAI just now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You'd think some people would figure out that everyone waiting until the last lap means there are a bunch of domestiques left to chase down every move on said lap. Just like yesterday, the people who can't wait for the sprint have played their cards badly.

 

[Samamba]

I'm only watching with one eye but looks like a somewhat boring edition.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Good grief, RAI are awful. 'Simon Yates chasing for Ineos!'
