Milan San Remo, March 21, 2026, 298 km monument

[noob]

Wout back

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Not to mention Pogacar taking out WVA

Yeah WVA might have won that if not for Pogacar causing that crash. He’s not done yet, that’s for sure

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

It’s clear mvdp isn’t in the same league as the great wva.

 

[dobrien]

He overcame some serious adversity and won the race. That's a champion.

Yeah, that was a super deserved, exciting win.

 

[Boehmand]

He and Pog are good friends. Often riding together in monaco

Cool bit of gossip, did not know that

Monaco is like a large olympic village

 

[Lequack]

He's done it! Now he doesn't have to do the TDF!

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Does Pidcock ride cobbles? I should know that

 

[Rou]

Some people suggested 2 leader strategy. Some complained about headwind.
Guys, this is the juggernaut of cycling. Raw power fixes everything!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vendrame looking quite good in the sprint behind, Michael Matthews is watching from his hospital bed beaming with pride.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

This spring looks like it might be more interesting than I initially thought!

 

[jono]

I think you're right honestly. Pog is going to crush him at Flanders and honestly, if I was a betting man I'd be betting on Pog at PR, he's a man on a mission and MVDP did appear at least today to be a bit of short of where he needs to be imho.

MVDP also crashed, had to pace himself back instead of going through the team cars. Might just have been on a bad day. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about a race that is nearly a month from now.

And if there's any weather, I fear Pogi doesn't have a chance.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy has finally conquered his most difficult race! What a legendary performance. He was down, chased the peleton, attacked on Cipressa, attacked again on Poggio dropping MVP and won a tight sprint vs Pidcock.

Now we can 100% say that Cipressa attack is the new norm in Pogacar era. Despite setbacks just before the climb and not favourable wind Pog (with great help from Del Toro and McNulty) distanced all guys except two. I was wrong before the race thinking the wind would complicate Cipressa.

 

[Boehmand]

I do not, but what was shown was egregious and would have been a time deduction for sure in a stage race,

I wouldn't mind him getting DQd so Pedersen can hit the podium

 

[Red Rick]

Can anyone explain why Van Poppel was helping Pogacar in the chase?

 

[LookProGoSlow]

He overcame some serious adversity and won the race. That's a champion.

yes that was impressive 100% and Tadej is super impressive, My opinion only, but a rider that dominant gets quickly tiring. I cannot cheer for him as I used to.

 

[jono]

MVDP's worst monument result (excepting Philipsen's win) in 4 years.

 

[Brullnux]

Disaster for cycling. The end times

 

[Poursuivant]

GOAT behaviour that.

 

[Didinho]

Is he now gonna skip Sanremo in the next years? Back to only Poggio action?

 

[KoopaCycling]

I will never understand what Pidcock and MVDP were thinking. As if Pogacar would have allowed the peloton to come back. It's like they gave it to him on a silver platter.

 

[Poursuivant]

MVDP hurt in the crash? Seemed to be wincing in the road to the Poggio.

 

[jono]

Disaster for cycling. The end times

Hard to draw really any other conclusion. Either half the peloton was on a bad day, or the sport as competition is over.

 

[RedheadDane]

Missed a good chunk of the race because I was having coffee with my family.

So... the key to winning for Pogacar was crashing?
(I know, I know. Corelation and causation.)

And nice to see Mads back.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What happened to Ganna?

 

[KoopaCycling]

A special shoutout to

MVDP hurt in the crash? Seemed to be wincing in the road to the Poggio.

Hands were bleeding or so

Just saw a photo. That hand will hurt a couple of days.
