    For a few years the route of St bian remained like many corners of the old region Tuscany where it’s raced untouched but this year a circuit was introduced kilometers added 215 K in total 15 gravel sectors of Stato making 71 in total a revolution a makeover or a tiny bit of tinkering time

    Difficulties of a Flanders or Ru the ultimate one day race the modern classic in the making it had been raining prior to the start and would rain at times during the race but when the flag was waved there’d be a very very quick start among Riders who already some of them at

    Least decked out in wet weather gear many would try to make an early Breakaway but it would take over 20 km before any sort of move was beginning to form seven W away but with Tom scre in the mix that will be brought back then five Riders are up the road already

    Rider today poacha did make his move then and left Spectators open mouthed quickly putting out 30 seconds nobody able to react behind and having seen that the competition wasn’t close to his wheel soon with 44 K to go had over 3 minutes of a gap and barring incident or accident the race very

    They knew that they were Racing for the podium Martinez was having a good debut for Guama fdg at this race and Kristoff Laport was the best of those inis Malisa B colors at that point Bacha went onto the new circuit able to enjoy the atmosphere

    Not quite job done he still had to get to the Finish but he was well ahead 28 km remain when with Maxim vills up the road and having half a minute of a gap on the rest of the Chasers there was an opportunity for a rider who’d

    Brutally good that it killed the competition and at times the spectacle but nevertheless it was something to remember Pacha with a performance for the history books a chance to celebrate realize what he done and after he climbed Via Santa Catarina smiling the place where normally it’s a launch pad for those to

    1. Pogacar is a monster but to be fair there wasnt competition.
      Apart fron that, if I were his director I would recomend him to not spend too much energy unnecesarily. He could have riden with the group much more kms.

    2. How does a single rider stay away from a pack.. that far out? Could it simply be because chase group do not cooperate with one another?

    3. Why TF is there only 26mins of the race coverage on Eurosport Catch up through my Discovery subscription on Amazon TV? £7 per month. 200km race. And I get to watch km 90-80 only because some bozo has screwed up. The whole women’s coverage is there! What’s happened to the men’s?

      A few weeks into the season and I mourn the passing of GCN+ more and more every day.
