World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

[Red Rick]

Is it me or is Pogacar doing 80% of the work?

 

[Salvarani]

the GOAT and the mexican mountain goat .

What a time to be alive!

 

[Brullnux]

Del Toro should leave UAE. He is the guy who can beat Pogacar, at least on hilly classics.

I think not yet – he hasn't shown ability over 230km+. His punch in shorter races can match Pogacar, but I don't think Amstel/Liege are in question until he gets more experience at that length of race.

 

[kn0s]

So Toro is going to do a Sivakov.

 

[Alien Performance]

think cooperation will die when group 3 catches group 2

 

[Berniece]

As expected. Minus Evenepoel ruining the race by helping Slovenia with empty legs.

This is the winning scenario for Rogla I spoke of. If they somehow managed to catch Pogi near the end, Rogla will win.

Which could still happen when Belgium keeps the gap close

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Del Toro killed Ayuso lol. Hes really strong today. Teddy on pole position already but lets see what the Mexican can do.

Roglic can be the anchor for 3 hours and then still have empty legs in the end. He's no certainty in this kind of race

Not yet but in the future. He is the only guy for sure.

Remco can’t climb this year

Probably less than usual but I think he exploded on that 20% climb. He made the mistake following a Pogacar going all in.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

del Toro looks good

According to Kirby del Toro is working for Pog ??? What planet does this man live on

 

[TrekCyclist]

Pogacar attacking with 100k to go.
Evenepoel completely gone on the first long climb.
Carapaz blowing up himself trying to follow

Seen this before somehow

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Is it me or is Pogacar doing 80% of the work?

If Del Toro does even something close to 50/50 that would be stupid

 

[Brullnux]

Not yet but in the future. He is the only guy for sure.

Yeah in the future he needs to leave UAE, for sure.

Seems realistic.

 

[Salvarani]

If Del Toro does even something close to 50/50 that would be stupid

Finishing 1st or 2nd would be a huge result for him and Mexico

 

[Heston]

Are you saying hes not?

 

[Tim Cahill]

They may aswell wait for the Belgians, it's only 10 seconds and they have 3 who will work.

 

[chickenlips]

WVA laughing into his afternoon cake.

 

[Salvarani]

Are you saying hes not?

Feels like they both working together to make the gap go out

 

[Berniece]

That's quite a big group. They should be smart enough to just work together now.

 

[Brullnux]

Evenepoel's form this year has been impossible to work out

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Good for Pogacar that he has Del Toro to help...unless the Mexican is too strong and surprises Pogi at the end. Hes kinda unpredictable to me...salto de qualitia, as I said before.

 

[Peyroteo94]

It's not over yet. 50 seconds is not too much.

 

[Salvarani]

Two amazing riders fighting it out. Great race and battle we have here.
