The Poggio is basically a springboard for puncheurs to attack to hold on to a gap? Sprinters are bigger guys that Try hold on and catch up in the decent with a lead out to out-sprint them at the end? Team sky had about five riders working for Viviani on Poggio When Sagan attacked in 2017. I...

That’s for sure.... I am totally new to watching cycling races and understanding gaps . Breakaways etc. I was wondering if Milan san remo is just a negative race as Nobady can get away too far? Like Sagan and Bettiol in Flanders? And the Poggio is just a springboard to attack make a gap and...

My first 3 hour long race. Could feel the excitement building the last 40-20km. TheN full gas up to the Poggio. Great end to a race and a worthy winner. I thought more people would follow when Alaphilippe attacked. Great action and some descending skills by both guys. My favourite race I...

As much as I would love Sagan to finally win a Milan san remo. I just don’t think it will happen. I think if he won 2013 then he would off added another win here but he always seems to have 2013 in his mind. 2016 could have good if he wasn’t tangled in a crash. Maybe he needs some luck...

As much I would love Sagan to take this.. I just think this race win will slip through his fingers..

Does anybody know what chainring and cassette sizes most off the riders use for this? I know watching old vids some used a 42/52

Can’t wait for this. Will be the first race I am going to watch on Eurosport live. Hopefully they go back to original route next year as I love the coast road. I hope Sagan can finally win this but as always you just never know with this race. I think Fernando Gaveria and Caleb Ewan could be...

what’s the latest?

I understand. For me I would like Sagan to win it as he has been close to many times before. Over the last 9 years maybe 6 top tens. And second twice. It’s my favourite race for some reason. As long as it it raced am not too fussed who wins It.

Will Sagan finally end his Milan san remo? Will Gilbert join the Monument club? Any thoughts?

hi I have a Full 10 speed tiagra 4700 groupset with fsa crankset. On my. Bike 50/34. I bought a 52/36 10 speed tiagra crankset for more top end. Waiting to go on My Question is I have a 39 tooth 11 speed 105 innerRing also. Would that be compatible with the 10 speed tiagra 52 tooth? I like a...

He’s maybe signed a contract to ride the giro. So has to money wise. He will be missing the classics but that’s how It has to be this year. Least there won’t be a full year to wait after this years races. I just hope the do go ahead so we have some season. And I hope he finally ticks off Milan...

Been stuck inside nearly two weeks. Watched loads off kids tv. Played Mario kart on the wii. The odd YouTube video. The last 2 and a half hours off Milan san remo 2017. No matter how many times I see the end I still think Sagan is going to win it. Haha. Thinking off taking off the group set off...

I hope at least there some monuments racing this year. Any time will do. Then there won’t be as long to wait till next year? I hope.

For me it’s Milano san remo. The long build up to the fireworks at the end. You don’t know who will win it till the last 20 metres usually. The setting the weather the route and the poggio make this race for me.
