2014 Milan-San Remo, Mar 23rd (294 Km)

Cipressa will be the race selector it seems... if Cance & other non sprinters want to do the damage-that's the place to make it happen

It always is. You can't drop anyone on the Poggio, it's Cipressa or final descent

 

[ILovecycling]

Sad stuff.

Yeah,dunno what to think

 

[Wallenquist]

any one spotted stybar?

Was behind Cave before Capo Berta, havent seen him since then

 

[thehog]

Sad stuff.

300km in the wet will do that. This is not a 220k Giro stage. You have to be realistic. When he won he only had Hincapie till the Poggio.

 

[manafana]

300k when hosing down and cold is just no fun the work behind scenes to supply all rider needs must be so hectic

 

[contessador]

Nibali to go on the Cipressa descent together with Paolini!

Ow, read my mind

Yep, before every climb he had 2 guys that delivered him at the front of the climbs and when they hit the Poggio only Hincapie was left, but he delivered him at the front once again. No need for a leadout in M-SR.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Peloton is really small after Capo Berta already

 

[JRanton]

Geraint Thomas dropped.

You need someone to pull it back together the way people ride the Poggio nowadays. Looks like he may be relying on Lotto backing Greipel, if he makes it himself (like last year).

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Demon descending in the rain should be interesting

 

[Ney the Viking]

Because it's not available in the USA, otherwise I would!

you can use something like tunnelbear https://www.tunnelbear.com/ along with eurosport player to cheat the stream to think you are in the UK/Europe. It's ofcourse a bit more expensive, but it's possible.

 

[SafeBet]

Paolini might attack early on the cipressa.

 

[federalski]

Plenty of Lottos for Greipel still there...

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Geraint Thomas dropped.

GTs obviously the best call for him.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Because it's not available in the USA, otherwise I would!

Fair enough. You could look at getting a European proxy or even a FireFox plugging to mask your region.

Edit. Ney in before me.

 

[Peccio89]

Cipressa Time! Gilbert and Nibali will try something

 

[federalski]

Anyone spotted Ed Bos Hag?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dutch dominance in the lead group

 

[Netserk]

They're on Cipressa!

 

[Kwibus]

Yay! For what it's worth 2 dutch guys left at the front. Minor win lol.

 

[ILovecycling]

Kwiat, Renshaw and Petacchi are gone.Probably only Trentin left

Correct. Which was the stated strategy before the race. Cav would sprint alone, which he is very good at. The key was to get him over the Poggio in one piece.

 

[murali]

chance for cavendish is down,
unless he catches someone else's train.

Lotto train is still steady

 

[GuyIncognito]

Kwiat, Renshaw and Petacchi are gone.Probably only Trentin left

Was dropped before, so unless he got back on...
