Prince Albert Cycles Posted March 16, 2023 Share 8 hours ago, Frosty said: TP has attacked from far out a few times and won, as recently as last week, and also on the white roads of Italy last year. If he can catch them by surprise, and not allow certain teams to dominate, then he’ll have a chance. Piddock is not riding . Was concussed so they resting him Rowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sias Posted March 18, 2023 Share Yoh, what an attack from VdP on that hill! And three of the strongest riders couldn't catch him... SundayCycler, Charles71 and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted March 18, 2023 Share He played his card so perfectly, none of them could do anything, and they looked finished at the end, it’s not like they didn’t try and looked at each other Vetplant, SundayCycler and Charles71 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles71 Posted March 18, 2023 Share WVA didn't have the legs today, and booi was I impressed by Pipo Ganna following Tadej all the way up the Poggio!! VDP was just on a different level today, and generally prefer WVA winning over him, but today I think he rode well and deserved to win. Absolutely fantastic race.

'Dale Posted March 18, 2023 Share Solo run-in on the Via Roma, wow. First Dutch winner in 4 decades. Teamwork makes the dreamwork with the team in blue with several finishers in he top 10. Ganna, what a splendid 2nd position for the big guy. This quartet was just a little better than the best of the rest. An almost anti-climactic finalè.

This attack after 300km yesterday makes me really think it’s a big shame he wasn’t able to race world champs… then again Remco was so far above the rest that day… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was noting to @Mamil how privileged we are to be witnessing such racing. Big names, little names, I'm finding the racing thrilling.

Strange things happens after 300km in the saddle... we'd have gotten amazing odds on that... watched some of the analysis on the last bit of the Poggio and how Alpecin forced WvA to work harder than he'd have liked, as well as VDP sitting on WvA making him close that last gap - smart team tactics that perhaps overcooked him a little, leaving the team leader to benefit, all the hile that was going on, Ganna was sitting on Pogacar, getting a nice tow, letting Pog bake himself nicely, while Pog himself was dreading getting to the line with VDP and seeing some nice white shoes disappear. again...
