Veneto Classic, one day race, Italy, October 15

[Lequack]

The last of the classic races for this year, and what a nice race it is, we even get cobbled climbs.
We have a good field, with last year's defending champion Hirschi in good form and a host of others.

[Rob5091]

Pozzovivo! Yeah!

 

[Lequack]

And Florian Vermeersch, who was 2nd in the Gravel world champs, so he's in good shape. But I believe in Fillipo Zana to win this race.

PS: Live coverage starts @ 15:15 CEST.

 

[Rob5091]

Marco Frigo (Israel – Premier Tech), Joey Rosskopf (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) and Michael Belleri (Biesse – Carrera) about 5 minutes in front of the peloton with about 70 km to go.

Its horrible weather apparently. Gonna be interesting to see what happens on the dirt downhill stretch after "Diesel Farm" climb.

EDIT: looks like its dry on the part where they are now tho.

Who took a climb from Flanders and moved it to Italy?

Who took a climb from Flanders and moved it to Italy?

Pozzato.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Who took a climb from Flanders and moved it to Italy?

Cobblestones made their way from Italy to Flanders during the 13th century.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pozzato.

Ballan actually used It as His Training climb for the cobbled classics back in the day

 

[tobydawq]

This is a really cool parcours.

 

[tobydawq]

Damn, no pictures.

 

[Andy262]

Eurosport coverage leaving alot to be desired here.

 

[roundabout]

Formolo seems to be going well today

 

[tobydawq]

Do they grow diesel om the Diesel Farm?

 

[postmanhat]

Such a good course.

Can't decide if having one of the best races of the season as the final one is a good thing?

 

[Andy262]

Big effort from Zana now

 

[postmanhat]

Battistella finally looking decent again after a terrible season.

 

[DNP-Old]

Will the motard join Zana on the podium later?

 

[Salvarani]

Zana tiring a bit now.

Hirschi not far behind.

 

[roundabout]

this is pretty dodgy though

 

[AmRacer]

Is this real gravel?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Quite a fail from Uno-X to pace like mad men into the hill only for Johannesen to fall back directly. Unless it was a mechanical he probably should’ve told his teammates he doesn’t have it? I mean, when you drop directly you must know?

 

[Salvarani]

Formolo appears!

 

[Samamba]

Copy of last years edition, but Zana instead of Conci
