Tre Valli Varesine 2022 (October 4th)

[Lequack]

Commentators keep mentioning Simon Yates from Ineos.

 

[Lequack]

Valverde looks really good for Lombardia.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nibali barely hanging in in a 15-rider group, then the pace drops and a lot of riders make it back on. One hill left, then the final drag to (just before) the line.

 

[Lequack]

Oh if only Kirby was here. The British youngster from Jumbo Visma is attacking. The new Oscar Onley.

 

[Lequack]

RAI put ads now?

Gloag has his handlebars positioned super high, doesn't he?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Shark attack!

 

[KZD]

Pogacar vs Valverde vs Higuita for the sprint.

 

[Lequack]

The Shark!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

da sognare

 

[RedheadDane]

RAI calling Reichenbach Storer

Reichenbach is not in the race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is the biggest group I've seen go to a sprint in this race. Weak edition.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Reichenbach is not in the race.

I keep confusing him with Molard, guess I shouldn’t be commentator either

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Poor Bala

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pogacar, by a tuff of hair.

 

[Lequack]

Darn I really wanted Valverde to win this one, he was looking so good. Two second places in like a week! This means he has to win Lombardia now.

 

[Climbing]

Too bad for Bala, would have liked his win!
Bravo Poga.

 

[Lequack]

Both Valverde and Nibali showing good form ahead of their last race.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Pogi's comeback is thrilling.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Possibly Pogačars most boring win

A few years ago, they were quite easy to tell apart.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nice for Pogacar. But can he do it in a real race against the big boys?

 

[Escarabajo]

The old man can still sprint.

For Lombardia they put a weak edition for something. So that Nibali and Valverde have a chance. Still very difficult for them IMHO.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Nice for Pogacar. But can he do it in a real race against the big boys?

No, I mean he can win reduced bunch sprints but Lombardia might be too long and hard for him
