[eddymotto]

Banging finale at Laigueglia, would recommend watching it.

You're on a team not named UAE. What is your strategy for Saturday?

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Shamelessly ride wheels.
Elbow into the ditch if possible.
Sticky bottle repeatedly.
Dispute loss, claiming 'boxed out! changed his line!'

 

[Videer]

Weather should be nice and sunny with no rain expected.

Pogacar
Anyone else

BUT WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWING IT FROM START TO FINISH!! :angre:

You enjoy the scenery, take in the sun. Check the tourist information pre-race

TNT bless.

That won't work.

Y'all forgot Cancellara's motor.

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

LOL

 

[Videer]

Went through Strava files for quite a few 2024 Strade and Tour of Flanders finishers and I did not realize that Strade has about twice the elevation gain at almost 4000m.
Is the new route with the final loop simply too hard for big boy puncheurs like MvdP and Wout?

 

[Videer]

Pog demanding bigger pulls! Stats will be checked after the race and those UAE team mates found lacking will be punished by the Emirati slavers whip!

 

[Videer]

Insane pace in the main group during the last 10-15km!

 

[Videer]

Oh lawwwd thank you Pidcock for saving this race atleast for a while!

 

[therealdope]

Pogacar is going at 18k to go where MvdP went.

The wild card is Pidcock's descendng.

 

[Videer]

OH LAWDD HAF MERCY!!!

 

[therealdope]

Crap. Bad crash. My god!

 

[Videer]

suprised to see Pog crash from front, I thought he crashed trying to follow Pidcock before they showed it

i was wondering about Pidcock's bike handling putting the pressure on Pogacar.

 

[therealdope]

Pidcock can put pressure on Pogacar on every descent. That is super annoying after you've gone down.

 

[Videer]

Surely Pog will attack before the finale?

 

[Videer]

max respect to Pidcock and Pog

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Guy got bored and decided to crash just to make things interesting.
