World Championship 2025: Men’s RR, September 28

[Libertine Seguros]

Back when it was Anna van Der Breggen doing this it was considered evidence that the level of women's cycling was too low and that the races should be made easier.

 

[Unchained]

It would certainly add something to the race if here were to suddenly reappear close to the finish line.

He will appear in a track suit drinking a beer

 

[Bombarolo]

Pogacar has been unbelievably lucky. Attacking on Mount Kigali was a terrible idea and he has gotten away with it because Remco had two mechanicals

It was the best tactic for him. He doesn't have a good team and everyone would have started attacking him left and right.

Remco has been massively helped by the cars by the way. How did they allow that shitshow?

 

[jono]

Chase group losing time.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Still 57K to go. A race of attrition, strange things can happen.

 

[JosefK]

Seixas ... future looks promising.

 

[Unchained]

Del Toro’s work is so blatant it’s ridiculous

It's a beautiful thing

 

[Savant12]

Putting all my money and my house on a Remco win, the goat is inevitable

Will his team car get on the podium too?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What are you talking about?
He's retired...

You're right. Larry Bird has been retired for 30 years.

Remco is giving it his all, but they're not really getting any closer.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

The group behind Pogacar is small but so much class in it. Can they spoil Pogacars party or is it over?

 

[Peyroteo94]

The moto is helping group 2 a lot.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

so who for 2nd and 3rd then ???

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

They’re not taking any time back. And it’s a pity for ayuso and seixas they are not coming back.

 

[Andy262]

What a ride Paul Seixas, Chapeau

 

[Cycling111]

The moto is helping group 2 a lot.

It's shameful. Before, Remco's car has saved 50 seconds for him.

They don't need to take time back on this section just now, it's about being able to save energy to be faster on the climbs, Pogacar can't really save anything at this point.

 

[steffr222]

The moto is helping group 2 a lot.

Still the gap is not decreasing. Pogi gonna seal it.

 

[theyoungest]

Pogacar has been unbelievably lucky. Attacking on Mount Kigali was a terrible idea and he has gotten away with it because Remco had two mechanicals

Why? Remco got dropped fair and square. Whether Pogi will "get away with it" remains to be seen, but he did attack on a climb that clearly suited him much better than Remco, which is not a stupid thing to do.

 

[kingjr]

It's shameful. Before, Remco's car has saved 50 seconds for him.

I hope we're not arguing that was actually better for him than not having a mechanical and perhaps being in the initial move with Healy

 

[Izzyeviel]

do you really pronounce it 'sex ass' ?

 

[jono]

Looking at the composition of the current top 10, it really blows up the argument I'd been seeing that the climbing meters don't matter and guys like MVDP or Wout could have done well here.

 

[Rou]

What happened with domestique del Toro?

 

[Red Rick]

They don't need to take time back on this section just now, it's about being able to save energy to be faster on the climbs, Pogacar can't really save anything at this point.

Pogacar most likely is just gonna slow down more slowly than the rest on these climbs.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Say-chas (ch like chewing)

It’s Amstel Gold Race on steroids
