Trofeo Laigueglia 2022 (March 2)

[SafeBet]

Three of them were struggling on the climb though.

Yeah Formolo and Covi looked the best on the climb. Now Polanc and Ulissi should work.

How does Covi lose this race

 

[SafeBet]

I know we always complain about the ES commentary but on RAI they're butchering almost every foreign name they read.

Lapeira is now Pereira
Ladagnous is Ledanois
Delacroix is De La Cruz

It's unbelievable.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Signs of life from Storer and Bakelants, who are on the counterattack with Lapeira. 50 seconds down, though.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The Astaná guys also pack a decent sprint.

No Astana's left up front, though.

 

[Mayomaniac]

No Astana's left up front, though.

Yeah, I just saw that...

 

[SafeBet]

After last year Rota is proving again he's a very interesting rider for one day races.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

UAE lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would be amazing if Rota wins this when everything pointed to a battle between Ineos and UAE.

Lapeira is now Pereira
Ladagnous is Ledanois
Delacroix is De La Cruz

It's unbelievable.

Yeah, when Giada Borgato and Martinello aren't the ones commentating it's pretty rough...

 

[SafeBet]

Rota, Ayuso, Rodriguez and Covi have a gap, it seems.

After last year Rota is proving again he's a very interesting rider for one day races.

He really improved once he joined Wanty, a very solid rider.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Rota, Ayuso, Rodriguez and Covi have a gap, it seems.

Ulissi and Porte still can't descend to save their life.

 

[Netserk]

Ineos playing it right.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I hate watching riders descending on the hoods. Use your drops please

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ulissi and Porte still can't descend to save their life.

It's almost comical with Ulissi, as a junior rider he was already training harder than many pros, but he never fixed the technical flaws that he has a descender...

 

[Mayomaniac]

I hate watching riders descending on the hoods. Use your drops please

Yeah, that's just stupid and a sign that you're a bad descender who needs to work on it.

 

[SafeBet]

UAE is just too strong for these races.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The good news for Rota is that UAE don't have the time gap to safely set up the one-two. Still looks extremely hard for him, though, needs to pull a Stannard.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Rota really should let Rodriguez come back, better chance of winning when you're not the only non-UAE rider, especially if you're doing big pulls instead. I guess Wanty want to secure the UCI points for second.

Jep, looks like UAE first and second

 

[tobydawq]

Lol, not good by Ayuso!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lol!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Crazy ride by Polanc, got dropped like three times.

 

[Netserk]

A shame Rota made the mistake of not responding there, otherwise I think everyone played their hand well in the finale.
