Jbr Posted March 16 Posted March 16 He meant it wasn’t hard enough to make it a climbers race, which is true since a sprinter won the race. Blows my mind that a couple of sprinters survived the 3 climbs the pace looked (and was) hot 🥵
Cippo Posted March 16 Posted March 16 2 hours ago, Zebra said: Managed to watch DSTV 430 with sound OFF, and cell phone with TIZ, sound ON, made for fun/chaotic viewing, but WHAT a finish!!! I used to love watching Giro on RAI, the Italians go crazy with their commentary. All I could make out was the riders names. Zebra and Vetplant 2
'Dale Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 (edited) Today reportedly a 46.133kph average speed, which would beat the 1990 edition – 45.806kph – for the quickest Milan-San Remo ever. *** “Chasing Tadej after… I had to react one more time and it was really painful, and Jasper came over to me on the descent and said that he still had really good legs… and we are honest with each other, so I knew what to do… we can be really proud that we win San Remo twice with the team. ~ The Rainbow Jersey Pic: @CA_Ita Edited March 16 by 'Dale Frosty and gerriemtb 2

Well done.! 👏🏻

Vetplant Posted March 17 Posted March 17 On RAI, I obviously couldn't understand a word, but: Michael Matthews had his interview before the start, and they were translating as he was speaking. His last words were something along the lines of "and hopefully I will be standing on the top step at the end of the day" The Italians couldn't contain their surprise, you could hear them snicker at the thought of Matthews thinking he has a chance. (I don't know Italian, but you could 'hear' their tone of voice.) He came very, VERY close! EdoardoBianchi, Frosty, Rowl and 1 other 4
'Dale Posted March 17 Author Posted March 17 Awesome ride by Bettiol, who’s having a good spring thus far
'Dale Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 Brand power Mathieu van der Poel signs an unprecedented 10 year deal with Canyon Underachiever 1
'Dale Posted March 22 Author Posted March 22 E3 or 'mini Tour de Flanders today and Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday. Can the Steppers animate and place the favourites on Canyons and Cervélos under pressure this weekend? Frosty and Rowl 2

'Dale Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 (edited) Gent-Wevelgem: 76 kms to go and a tactical masterclass by Lidl-Trek thus far. It’s been a day of echelons with 30 km/h crosswinds on a cool and dry Belgian day. Beautiful racing. Edited March 24 by 'Dale Frosty 1

Enjoying the racing and the tactics from Lidl-Trek, but I feel it is only a matter of time for MvdP to go solo.
Frosty Posted March 24 Posted March 24 No a Classic race, but it was nice to see Egan Bernal back on a podium (Volta Ciclista a Catalunya), even though it was a master class from Pogačar. DJuice and Rowl 2
