And no Live Eurosport coverage as far as I can see.

It's deffo on the Discovery app, and has been since 09:25
Admittedly with Kirby commentating.

Robbie's on the mic whilst Kirby's got the nosebag on. Just told a cracking yarn about being given the DS' musette by mistake once. Ended up having cheeseburger and fries. The DS wasn't too happy with his power bar, apparently.

Robbie now reporting that Jorgenson is taking Rick's tactical advice and will be riding as fast and hard as he can

Thanks for adding some rigour to proceedings.

Pog has given the break a 4:14 start with 100 kms to go

I don't share Kirby's sentiments that the break is a threat. UAE will bring it down to put Pogacar in position to win over the next two climbs.

... Mainly so I could find the profile again quickly.
Think they are going quickly, should crest Ghisallo around 13:50, Sormano an hour later (UK BST)

I haven't been able to watch, so will have to catch up tomorrow in all likelihood.
Last 100k sufficient?

Yes, which makes a nice change from the first 100k as it has been for much of the season.

I know you're all waiting to see what I'm eating/drinking....
See, it's not always Belgian beer and charcuteri 😅

Ralph Formica goes to the front and the gap's melting immediately.
Not sure that Brian's prediction that if they work hard all 21 of them could get into the top ten will come true.

There he goes, 48km to go

Bang, Pogi attacks with 48 kms to go. No one can go with him

Not sure I could reach that speed going downhill

The dearth of posts in a monument thread says everything about the entertainment value of a supremely dominant rider

Lombardia has always been a skimpy thread though.

I just bothered to find a stream of it, but the race was already done.

This forum is always dead at weekends, bar for a few races in the spring.

Haven't had the obligatory: oh cr@p I thought it was on Sunday posters yet either.

Just seen Pog won by 3min 16 secs..... no ES coverage so never watched. Seems that was a blessing. I like Pog but this isn't good for the sport.

Still managed 4 pages last year, not managed one here yet.
Active formulites are well down for the whole year I suspect, obviously not all Pog's fault

Has he done the entire peloton mentally before they’ve even swung a leg over?
Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0 -
Yup
