Trittico Lombardo 2015 (1.1)

[WheelofGear]

Wow, what a nice win for an almost 45 year old man.

Similar to how Valverde won Roma Maxima. Attacking far out is still possible today.

Re:

Rebellin played it perfectly.

 

[WheelofGear]

Give this old man a ticket to Richmond!

 

[Billie]

Rebellin will pull off another triple!!!!

 

[jaylew]

Wow, that was close! Bunch was a half a second too late.

 

[SafeBet]

Coppa Bernocchi is under way. Big break of 24, Nippo and Wanty leading the chase.

 

[SafeBet]

Now only 4 men left in front: Tvetcov, Sella, Brun and Ravasi.
Castiblanco and Mariani at 40 seconds.
Peloton at 2 minutes.

 

[WheelofGear]

Have they entered the hilly section, SafeBet?

Re:

Yep, the hilly section is a circuit to repeat 7 times.

 

[SafeBet]

Nibs attacks with Tiralongo. Paterski follows them.

 

[SafeBet]

They bridged to the break. Now 10 in front: Buchmann, Sella, Tvetcov, Brun, Nibali, Colbrelli, Tiralongo, Paterski, Sbaragli and Gasparotto.
Peloton 15 seconds back.

Thanks for the updates!
How far to the finish?

 

[SafeBet]

30km to go.
Now all together, 70 rider bunch, gonna be a sprint most likely.

 

[SafeBet]

Nibali not done, another dig. He's in front with Quintero, Finetto and Pauwels.

 

[SafeBet]

Seems like another entertaining race today. Nibali, Trentin, Zilioli, Mendes, Finetto and Quintero now have a 35" gap with 26km to go.

 

[SafeBet]

10km to go, the group still has 30 seconds.

 

[WheelofGear]

Know anything about the weather, SB?

Could have been raining since they have managed to escape.

 

[SafeBet]

Still 30 seconds with 5km to go, I think they'll make it. Trentin the favorite.

I don't think it rained. It's been cloudy here in Milano but no rain.

 

[SafeBet]

Victory for Nibali with a last km attack. Wow amazing shape for the shark.

Wow he's had a couple of good days.

The Richmond course isn't for him but he can help make the race difficult to set up Ulissi. Lombardia FTW Nibs!

 

[WheelofGear]

Amazing win for the Shark. If he is riding like this, he could win the Richmond course too!

At least he will be animating the race with attacking from far out. He is good on the cobbles too.

 

[TMP402]

Maybe I'm odd but I enjoy the quirk of seeing riders like Trentin and Nizzolo representing the Italian national team these last two days. Bakelants winning the 2013 GP de Wallonie for Belgium was pretty cool too.

Unbelievable, nothing but respect.

I know you can say anything about him but I saw this guy competing back in 1992 already.

1992, that's when Indurain had just won his 2nd TDF. 1992, unbelievable.

He was top ten in Lombardia that year. Perhaps he can do the same this year, 23 years later.
