I've been so looking forward to this Monument. It's been somewhat of an afterthought and forgotten race. Now with Pog, Ron, Remco, a resurgent Carapaz and co' it is now really picked up in status. Tadej is on a hat trick.. Spare a thought for Classics specialist, Greg van Avermaet, who is retiring, alongside Peter Sagan, of course. And the Frenchie and previous winner, Thibault Pinot. This course suits Ben Healy a bit. Hope he's in the mix. The Steppers stepping for the Belgian Champ. What’s happening with the double World Champ in Alaphillippe - dipping career arc after that terrible high speed crash. Edited October 7, 2023 by 'Dale
'Dale Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Fausto Coppi was the last ride to three-peat Lombardia. 8 Monument starts for Pogačar; 5 wins! All 5 monuments won by breakaway artists - two for MvdP, 2 for Pogačar and one for Remco. Pogačar simply remarkable this year. Even 2nd at Tour de France after a setback.

betaboy Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Guys are going to hurt, European weather is pretty rough right now… not sure if all will give this a hard go or skip it for fear of falling sick?. I’m keen to see the new season unfold. 👍🏻
'Dale Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 It’s the opening weekend, Ouens en Vrouens! Meanwhile, auntie Pat is criticising the double rainbow jersey winner in Alaphillippe for too much partying and drinking in 2023, etc.. I suspect the Frenchman is not the same since two big crashes. Things can also change when one becomes a father. I have not yet organised my viewing portal. Back to the granular and stop-start Tiz until further notice. Met eish. Frosty 1
peepeekaitjie Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I am so pumped after an excruciating off-season. The Visma-LAB rats looking like the team to beat in the classics. Lefefefe has since backtracked claiming that statement was end of 2022. https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/patrick-lefevere-nuanceert-kritiek-aan-adres-van-julian-alaphilippe-mijn-woorden-klinken-te-zwaar/ Regardless, it is poor form that he brought Alaphilippe's wife into it and had to air his dirty laundry in public once again. https://cycling.today/ is sometimes better.

Frosty Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I see Kim Le Court is on the start list; same team as Ashley. #AdoptedSaffa Vetplant, Spookie and Rowl 3

You need a credit card from within the EU, or the UK, to be able to pay. Edit: I know there's a virtual card option that some EU residents talk about using as they don't use a credit card. I'm not too clued up on it, but that could be an option. Edited February 23 by Frosty 'Dale 1

I tried, and I got billed, the service wasn't activated, and then I was refunded... With the VPN active, it failed with a mismatch of region (VPN).

It won't be now, as I'm away in March, so for me will be a waste if it does work. Might try it for the Monuments in April, then the Giro, Tour and other events later.
