Listened to the womens' race comentary while I was out on my bike - my heart rate was about 20bpm up during the finale!.

Here's Alaphillipe being blown off his bike by a force of nature last year:

And a different force this year:

Of course he is. A few somersaults across a field isn't going to stop him! I reckon he's still a pretty strong pick for today.

Pedant mode/: Can we let 2 spelling mistakes in the thread title pass? It’s Strade Bianche

Well in a sense the race was a bit boring really. Pog destroyed them!

The women's race was much more entertaining, but what a performance!

I think Alaphilippe could teach some top tier footballers a thing or two about diving. Brilliant head-tuck and arms in for the OTB, followed by a "merd, everyone's about to land on moi" dive out the way.
Brilliant play by Pog, a brave move backed up by immense talent.
Bring on Paris-Nice.

great women's race followed by a processional masterclass.  I think that's the longest I've sat on the turbo

Fabulous races today in different ways. It’s hard to get a sense from the TV pictures just how undulating this race is and how steep some of the climbs are. Tadej made it look so easy although even he looked like he was struggling at the top of the climb into Sienna.

Merckx has said that Pogacar is the next Merckx. Something I don't think he has said about anyone else and looks like he will be right.

Not by Merckx, who seems to dislike Remco.

Anyway I still love MVdP, you can keep your Pog or Remco!

Lets hope he's cleaner than Eddy was.

On a thread entitled strade bianche (or something close to it), I think people should be safe to assume that nobody's going to post results of a race that takes place a day later

EVERYONE knows the spoiler rules that exist on all forums these days.
AA in future just says oops, I'm sorry. It's so much less offensive.
