Coppa Bernocchi – GP Banco BPM

Dash dash dash…in all probability

Yesterday’s race, Agostoni, was due north of Milan; Bernocchi is dues west of Agostoni or northwest of Milan. This cat 4 race is the Italian Fall Traditional Most Probably To Finish In A Bunch Dash. Hey-somebody’s gotta do it.

Legnano, the beginning and ending city, is an efficient 30 km south of the principle circuit and that circuit has mainly one fairly small climb which the riders do seven occasions. Then it’s again to Legnano, barely downhill all the way in which with a possible tailwind to hurry the riders alongside till the flat end. Simple! Even Jens might do it.

There have been just a few editions the place the break stayed away so there’s some suspence there. However have a look at the starlist right here: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/coppa-bernocchi/2024/startlist

Jeez. It might be good to see a full startlist, proper? Possibly the subsequent race will do the trick. Anyway, most groups are likely to again a sprinter thus lessening the prospect for a successful break. Alternatively, a lot of the A-list sprinters will not be right here and the way in which that UAE has been bossing these races it wouldn’t shock me if one in all Hirschi, Fisher-Black, Sivakov, Wellens, and many others. busts the race open. We’ll see-with the chance that the finale might be rained on.

Jens’ Italian curse/decide of the day: Screw UAE! Its Axel Zingle’s time to shine.
