Pello Bilbao wins the queen stage of the Tour of Slovenia but Giovanni Aleotti remains in the lead
Cycling
Victory of Pello Bilbao in the queen stage of the Tour of Slovenia after a beautiful day with numerous breakaways and that was decided in the hard final climb to Krvavec. The leader Giovanni Aleotti saved the jersey.
Several men led the breakaway of the day including Cyril Barhte, Johan Meens, Marcel Camprubí, Barnabás Peák and Michal Paluta. They built up a lead of more than 3 minutes, but as they slowly began to climb on the approach to the final pass the gap soon dropped below a minute with BORA working for leader Giovanni Aleotti.
At 10 of kilometers to the finish the breakaway had already been hunted and it was the Bardiani that was pulling for its leader Giulio Pellizzari. Aleotti had been left alone at the start of the figure. Very well accompanied by Filippo Zana for Jayco and Pello Bilbao for Bahrain.
At 7 of finish was the Jayco who put a harder pace with De Marchi for Zana. The group of favorites was stretching. He was relieved meters later by Peña. At 5.8 of finish was Bahrain who set the final pace for Pello. It was Edoardo Zambanini who put one more point.
With 4 to go it was Pello Bilbao in the first person who started to give pace to the breakaway of favorites. He didn't attack, he set the pace and left Pellizzari blown away. Ben Healy, the leader Aleotti and Domenico Pozzovivo remained. Tremendous the pace of the Basque cyclist.
Healy stayed with the pace of Pello. Aleotti asked for relays, but the leader did not give them to him. Paul Double came in with 2 km to go and an attack by Pello Bilbao before the very hard last kilometer did not work.
In the end Pello waited until the last meters to make his final attack. Few differences between the favorites. Aleotti continues to lead.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024

- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
