2013 Milan-San Remo, 17 March (298km)

[gruppeto993]

for some reason I don't mind who wins...but just not sagan. I want to see someone beat him. preferably gilbert, canc, hushovd or EBH.

 

[masking_agent]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Gilbert taking it.. sending Hushovd home wining and complaining for the rest of the season.

would love to see gilbert win.
sagan just stated that he can win from a bunch sprint or by following an attack on the poggio. Canc take note. If you attack there he will follow!

 

[pastronef]

could we see a situation like Roubaix 2011, where nobody pulled because Cancellara was the strongest?

Let's see what happens ir there's a little group with Sagan, who's the strongest this year.

 

[phanatic]

No way, they're catching him on the downhill. Cancellara failed to take that much time on the downhill in 2011 even on GVA.

Then I hope he wins.

Either someone will panic and ride.
Or no-one will ride and Sagan will win the bunch sprint anyway.

Except it's never that simple.
Can't wait.

I hope someone gets away, Sagan is too strong and I'd like someone else to win.

I don't think anyone will be able to make a huge gap on the descent. Plus, the gap you make there is likely to remain the same or come down on the flat that follows.

Look what I caught on my way back home to Milano:

I slowed down just to take a picture while my mother kept asking what the f*uck was going on

 

[woodenswan]

BEAT SA-GAN!
BEAT SA-GAN!

im excited as ****

+ i just realized, the theme song of Justified is basically a tribute to Fabian

"on this lonely road, tryna make it home, doin by my lonesome, ****ed off, who wants some?"
"eyes in the back of my head, u better not follow me"

Not this time.
Horrible weather + it's my birthday, so celebrating with la famiglia

 

[Parrulo]

I really like Nibali's attacking mentality which he is showing since Giro di Lombardia 2011 so i really hope he pulls something special and takes the win Sunday.

since when? you haven't been paying enough attention

 

[woodenswan]

Not this time.

Though I guess living in Milan means you got plenty of opportunity to watch cycling...

The times had me confused for a moment but I realize we're in that strange time of year when the US has already switched to daylight savings but CET hasn't yet. So only 8 hrs time diff to Pacific coast; sweet - I don't have to get up till 6am and can still watch almost 3 hrs of racing!

[screaming fist]

It's Milano-Sanremo, you can sleep till 8am, not much happening outside the last hour of the race. It's a Sunday after all, get yourself some sleep.

Well, there's always the excitement of seeing whether Cav gets dropped on Le Manie

 

[Eshnar]

Well, there's always the excitement of seeing whether Cav gets dropped on Le Manie

or seeing how many riders crash on the descent.

 

[iZnoGouD]

or seeing how far from the finish will Cancellara attack

 

[iZnoGouD]

I hope podium will be like this tomorrow

1.Greg Van Avermaet
2.Andrey Amador
3.Mauro Santambrogio

I would be so so happy, you wouldn't believe how happy i would be if this happened
