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

[murali]

who came in top-10?

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Kristoff!!!!!!!! Chapeau Katusha, they worked all day.

Poor Fabu.....

Pretty boring edition actually; I'm just glad one of the big sprinters didn't win it

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Coward: would you not go for the win?


Great pick, enjoy the winnings

 

[the asian]

No Rojas, but Movistar still get 4th

Lobato or Ventoso?


EBH Once gain shows that he can't handle the distance.

Good effort by Swift though!

 

[Arredondo]

Swift super. To bad he chosed the wrong way in the sprint. But this should give him a big confidence boost.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

There was really only 1 attack that had a meaningful gap in the last 25 km.

So? Sounds like every year to me, especially in the rain. Attacks with a meaningful gap in the final 25km hardly ever happen and when they do get a gap, you know they most likely won't make it either.

Great fun, this race... Sagan was well enough positioned, I thought but had no legs. Congratulations to Kristoff and Katusha! well done

 

[spanky wanderlust]

cav just blew up at 100%. that can't feel good.

 

[CraZyCaLL]

London 2012, Milano-SanRemo 2013, Ronde 2013, Paris-Roubaix 2013, Milano-SanRemo 2014... Kristoff just fastest sprinter in hard one-day races, finally it was sprint for the victory for him

Lobato .

ok, let's agree to disagree even though that was the biggest group sprinting for the win since 2009

 

[Netserk]

What a crap edition. The three previous editions were much, much, much better.

 

[Miburo]

Boring race, one of the worst editions i can remember. Kudos to Nibali for trying.

Gj Kristoff.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Sagan is the biggest loser here, tbh. Cav was simply not good enough, and neither was his team, but it was not part of his planning since two months, and Boonen's absence is nobody's fault.

He got his front wheel nipped by Stybar who protected Cav. Sagan then stopped sprinting...

 

[RiccoDinko]

Don't understand Cancellara taking it to a sprint.

 

[GuyIncognito]

I can't remember the last classic when people didn't post here at the end that it was the worst they've ever seen

Sagan did nothing. Very dissappointing.

 

[Netserk]

Biggest losers are the attackers who didn't attack. Sags and Canc among others.

Well Canc did get second using the wait and see approach that ain't to shabby

 

[mr. tibbs]

Katusha played this real real well. Congrats to Kristoff! Lol at Cancellara's disappointment. He knew when he had to make his move.

Didn't notice Stybar muscling out Sagan. That's a bummer, but Sagan might have been able to make the race more selective. Did he and Canellara lack the legs? Flanders may be really interesting this year...

 

[Lexman]

Gj Kristoff.

indeed nobody tried seriously to attack except Nibali, most boring race of the season without a doubt...

 

[Carols]

Nice!!!!!

10 char

 

[Eyeballs Out]

I don't know if I'd say it was boring. It's fun watching sprinters and GT riders closely matched at the end of a big race. Just that they were a bit too closely matched

Unfortunately they'll use this edition to justify making the route much harder next year so that the sprinters might as well stay at home

Lol truth. No matter what happens, no matter who wins, no matter how they win. Every time.
