Tre Valli Varesine 2025, one day race, October 7

[dobrien]

we all excited?

Not in the least.

 

[Red Rick]

Ridiculous drafting behind TV motor for Pogi. Insane that still happens. AGR flashback. Not blaming him, I would do the same, but just crazy that can still happen so blatantly.

Still hilarious he comlained about it on Joux Plane cause he's the biggest benefactor in nearly every single race.

 

[staubsauger]

Maybe they should just award Pogacar the race wins beforehand so they can stint themselves these shenanigans like today with the motorbike or the car at Amstel Gold Race!

 

[MotorRouleur]

You can see all Pogi's attacks here, which were missed by all the adverts

It kinda looked like Pog was working for a Del Toro win, but the camera motorbike quickly made sure that wasn’t happening

Hi mate you seem to have posted a link to a Lord Voldemort montage from the Harry potter films? Not sure if it's just me getting this?

The way i see it, motorbikes tend to be ahead of the action so if you're frequently at the front a race you're going to benefit more. It's not favoritism, just incompetence.

But then we wouldn't have had a surprise like this year's AGR!

 

[MotorRouleur]

Pogi with 2 bidons on his bike. Thought it was standard to ditch one with only 10km to go.

He likes to carry extras to gift to kids otherwise he gets bored during his finishing solos

 

[Valv.Piti]

Peak Roglic performance here, getting away in a good group, refusing to do much of anything, get caught and get no result

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They either have to make the bikes slower or tune the engines on the motos, so it'll get harder for the riders to follow them. They also have to give the other riders more caffeine, so they don't fall asleep when Pogačar accelerates.

 

[Escarabajo]

He lost time in the last kilometer again. He has to learn to manage his efforts.

Nice podium for AWP and a surprisingly strong sprint from Higuita.

He is actually considered a sprinter in Colombia. More like a Puncheur!
LOL.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hmm yes did just see footage of the attack now. Asterisked, no doubt about it. A shame because he might’ve done pretty well in the finale.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

LOL.

Well on some days he does climb like one.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Out of the mods it shows only Armchair is online tho

Don't trust that too much: I very rarely shut my laptop down, so I'm probably shown as online for about 160 hours a week

LOL.

That's what he is actually!? Like if the Ardennes classics were still like in 2009 Higuita would have some nice successes despite an unlucky time at Bora!

 

[CyclistAbi]

At least that alien Pogačar from PCS offered some resistance to Pogi, all to no avail, the man can't even beat himself. Chapeau!

As for Rogla indeed, he is carrying some good form. Hopefully he ends up riding Lombardia and wins it.

Yeah, once he went solo, the clone just... disappeared!

 

[Pippo_San]

I dare to say one of his most beautiful wins...he really seemed to enjoy the race today!

GG Tadej ❤️

 

[Danskebjerge]

Startlist quality higher than at the European Championship. Crazy.

(Although the high ranked riders may not all have been at their best.)

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy couldn't help himself, could he? Don't call him greedy yet, it's the organizers' fault. He would love to help the Bull win but the race was 300 meters too long for the Mexican.

 

[staubsauger]

But then we wouldn't have had a surprise like this year's AGR!

You mean like we never had that surprise at the 2007 Tour de France!? 🐔💔

(Despite him waving the motorbikes away)

Not sure what that refers to...

I mean that if Pogacar had just been given the win, we wouldn't have had the surprising outcome.

OK @CyclistAbi could use some spin. Why does today and Emilia give you confidence that he can compete for the win in Lombardia?

The only spin I could come up with would be arguing that he was doing them for the training and intentionally holding back to keep his powder dry and trick everyone into thinking he is washed and a non-threat. What do you have for us?

Pogi is burning too many matches and will crack trying to follow Rogla on Saturday. Rogla is not explosive anymore, he's endurance master now. His solo in Lombardia will be sensational.
