    Philipsen crashed yesterday . "Jasper Philipsen crashed very hard just four days before Milano Sanremo at Nokere Koerse. He immediately went to ambulance." View: https://x.com/lucasaganronald/status/1902396293802037271

    Nah. They screwed it up in 2024. Only Wellens to lead out. In 2023, it was a bit better, but the Cipressa was too easy. If they nuke the Cipressa, then nuke the Poggio, it will be too attritional. I expect Pidcock to be last one standing with Pogacar. Might be wrong, we'll see.

    Not unlikely scenario, tbh. Pidcock is probably the only one who can hold Pog's wheel if UAE nuke the Poggio. However, Pogacar could catch him on the run-in. He's a much better time trialler and sprinter.

    Milano—Sanremo 2025: Who will win?

    Rain and moderate easterly wind forecast for Saturday. Favors Poggi (not cold enough to favor Pedersen) https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/daily-table/2-3167777/Italy/Liguria/Province%20of%20Imperia/Sanremo
