Probably Sante Maria on the hardest part as most times.This end-of-the-season Pogacar version looks even scarier than the Tour version. He'll attack from the gun in Strade winning by 10 minutes.

It makes San Remo (and as always Roubaix) the most interesting race on the Spring calender.This end-of-the-season Pogacar version looks even scarier than the Tour version. He'll attack from the gun in Strade winning by 10 minutes.
He was disappointed to finish 2nd but he looked good and was very strong as well. He could coast when it was clear he wasnt gonna gain back and went auto-pilot in the end. It was a good way to end the season for him as well with his first podium here.He’s an emotional guy—I don’t think that means he’ was “broken.” I was thinking how significant it would be for him even getting 2nd when the accident here could easily have ended his career.
We'll see, but for now there is this horde, this very loud minority that seems to find this exciting. Either way, I am going to make it very easy for myself: if he is riding, I ain't watching.This is my point, its hardcore cycling fans who have started to stop watching, this will hurt the sport next year.
We are all living lies, it’s what keeps us alive.Yeah, but after repeating the joke like 10 times during the week I decided the check the actual results and Pozzovivo was actually 5th.
It seems like I've been living a lie all these years.
Cycling disappointed me once again.
Facts 👏We'll see, but for now there is this horde, this very loud minority that seems to find this exciting. Either way, I am going to make it very easy for myself: if he is riding, I ain't watching.
Giro del Veneto next week, proper ciclismo.
Yes, but he got his top 10 to go into the lead!!Man, can't believe Mas messed up his Pozzovivo tribute trying to get 4th in a 2 men sprint.
Wrong, the alien won.My (for now) youngest nephew with a very accurate summary of the result:
"That human won."
Wrong, the alien won.
My apologies. Good aunt*I am nobody's uncle!
I am - however - and an aunt.
Its history and its just amazing to witness indeed. To be able to witness the best cyclist of all time right infront of our eyes absolutely legendary stuff.It’s not exciting but it’s compulsive watching. The best cyclist of all time. I really hope he goes outside his comfort zone next year. Ride Roubaix. He could win it, and I’d love to watch.
Loved Remco comments after aswell and I agree. What an era.Podium
One thing that IMO should be taken into account is that the parcours was better than previous years to maximize gaps.Its staggering that at the end of what is for me the best season ever in road cycling, Pogačar is still able to do what is quite possibly his best performance ever in a one-day race. Beating Remco by more than 3 minutes and everyone else by more than 4:30 just shows how much stronger he is at the moment which must be really demoralising for his rivals
Remco still doing a good race and although he was very far from Pogačar's level he gets another monument podium in a race where his career almost came to an end four years ago. He should be really proud of what he achieved during this season.
Ciccone finishes the season on a high note after some bad luck during his season with his first monument podium. Good to see Van Eetvelt back with a good performance after him getting sick during the Vuelta and shoutout to the teams that made the race harder by attacking on the first climbs and to Christen, Majka and Sivakov which during different moments of the race did a great job to hekp their team leader get his 25th win of the season.
There is not a singular rider on INEOS this year to be found that performed above average to their relative level and/or booked significant, visible progression. Well, maybe one, but that list starts and ends with Narvaez.Remco can’t expect to compete with UAE whilst riding for Soudal. They are just not strong enough in a climbers race. Visma or Ineos, maybe, but not Soudal. If he wants to compete with Pogačar he needs more support.
