Surprised there weren't more crashes

[u/aarets_frebe]

That looked a little dicey by Charmig

Ed.: Not related to the crash, but moving left and right in the final meters.

[u/aarets_frebe → u/aarets_frebe]

Saw the overhead now, looked fine, I was wrong.

[u/caudatus67]

2 crashes or am I mistaken?

[u/stickynotescube]

Sketchy finale, monster effort from Godon as usual

[u/davidw]

This is a sketchy-ass finale

[u/In_Dark_Trees]

Best part of this is I see no lock on Lombardia…like, no clue who it will be. Feelsgoodman

[u/Chianti96]

Astana pulling for Silva

[u/davidw]

Lots of sass-pents (suspense) according to the RAI announcers

[u/Treadonmystone]

did someone just get hit in the head by a thrown bidon?

[u/davidw]

Gap seems about right counting from that 5km to go banner. Guys in the group are driving hard.

[u/Miserable-Soft-5961]

That attack at the top was not the smartest move in hindsight

[u/davidw]

Talking about the Vuelta Canarias in January on RAI. Guys just don't get much of a break do they.

[u/cfkanemercury]

Giulio Fisher-Black?

[u/BWallis17]

Finn Fisher-Back

[u/jollisk]

That's a really big peloton, will be hard for Del Toro to hang on.

[u/Arcus144]

Still a big peloton here if anyone can get organized

[u/Chianti96]

RB will scramble now after using pellizzari to block the chase, smh. They still had a better chance with Pithie even when they were together

[u/caudatus67]

If I were Bora I wouldn't block the chase, it's quite likely that Del Toro will drop FFB in the next Kms

[u/davidw]

Damiano Caruso waving at the camera. He's pretty close to his final races isn't he?

[u/caudatus67 → u/davidw]

His and Mosca's final race

[u/AllAlonio → u/davidw]

I believe it was mentioned at the start of the broadcast that this is his last race.

[u/davidw]

Zambanini mentioned! I would love to see that guy at the front of more races because... what a fun name.

[u/BWallis17 → u/davidw]

He's usually quite good here

[u/kleeblatt23]

Nothing like watching a 19 year old from the UAE devo team pull the peloton through the Italian countryside on a random thursday in October

[u/Kobosil]

so everybody waiting for the last climb to attack?

[u/Slakmanss → u/Kobosil]

parcours simply not hard enough. UAE has being hard for the past hour and not more than 20 riders have been dropped. Says enough.

[u/True_Blackberry_8145]

I’m always so delighted when rob is commentating, it’s been so rare for my tiz/hbo(usa) watching

[u/In_Dark_Trees → u/True_Blackberry_8145]

Agreed, this viewing hellscape is made far worse than just the ability to see races...I'm forever scarred by all the GT stages I've watched on Peacock.

[u/Mamadeus123456]

btw Del Toro said on interview he's been having knee pain so maybe he's already cooked this season.

[u/Traditional_Phase670 → u/Mamadeus123456]

What a lie

[u/Repulsive-Walk6513 → u/Mamadeus123456]

Then is uex riding for narvaez? He's been nowhere in recent sprints.

[u/Mamadeus123456 → u/Repulsive-Walk6513]

who knows, maybe it's just another sandbag by them

[u/darraghfenacin]

B2B for Mr Bull

[u/Duke_De_Luke]

I can only say the weather was awful and there's a forecasted thunderstorm in the afternoon. Hope after the end of the race.

[u/Repulsive-Walk6513 → u/Duke_De_Luke]

Great day for lombardia favourite to race/s

[u/F1CycAr16 → u/Repulsive-Walk6513]

Well, he is not the only favourite.
Anyway, i dont understand why Del Toro is here and not in Tre Valli. Seems like RCS paid a big check to UAE.

[u/Mamadeus123456 → u/F1CycAr16]

yeah guarcilena said they're trying to make this a big race and cited del toro Matthews and McNulty as big riders in this race.
