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

[ice&fire]

I hope that either a wheel sucker or a meme attacker wins

I miss Simon Gerrans too

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I hope Gilbert will finally win, but I guess it's too late for him. Today he wouldn't even make it to Cipressa with the numbers he used to do.

The nutrition is better nowadays so prime Gilbert would be much faster now.

Picnic should totally still offer him a one race contract just to get some media attention and let people remember than Pogi wouldn't be the only rider who's lacking that final monument if he wins this year.

Nah, Pogi is lacking two. Gilbert is the closest to the slam.

My hands were too fast/fat for my brain, also known as the Ilmaestro illness.

It looked like he had MSR won in the run-in to the finish in 2010 (?) but the Italian Pozzato reeled him and then Goss won the small-bunch sprint.

2010 is the year of Freire, I believe. IIRC Goss was in 2011

Goss 2011

Oh yes, the Belgians were very angry at Pozzato back then iirc

Yeah, I was watching a Belgian broadcast and the announcers said his name with such disgust/indignation when they saw he was the one chasing Gilbert.

Yup, thanks

In his post-race interview Del Toro said his role next Saturday is that of a domestique for Pogacar. Trying to help him win MSR... Will UAE ever learn

Don't worry, Pogi may win any year now.

 

[Didinho]

What’s the weather expectations? And the wind for the final?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Nowadays they have their own pozzato 😍

 

[Red Rick]

Pissing rain and tailwind.

This is good for the racing or no?

 

[Berniece]

It’s good for Pogacar at least

 

[Rob5091]

Knowing the reliability of weather forecasts, I'l take the current forecast as a guess, but a tailwind and rain in my mind will be a recipe for the mother of all crashes followed by a few more.

They will want to nuke Cipressa again. It's still possible they will attack with Del Toro at least once, they don't have to reveal everything during a PC.

If they really nuke Cipressa, Pog/MVDP won't be seen again. So there won't be another attack from Del Toro. I also just don't believe UAE will go for a 2 leaders approach to this, because they rather have that Pog might win, than increase their odds with Del Toro as possible winner.

TP to win following the attack of TP

I meant Del Toro trying sth on Cipressa (and Pogacar reattacking after MVP neutralizes the Mexican). Anyway it will be almost impossible to drop MVP on Cipressa, he's in great form. If they nuke Cipressa and MVP can't be dropped then maybe Pog will slow down and wait for another chance in the finale?

Would MVDP follow a Del Toro attack on Cipressa? Seems like a task he would leave for some second tier contender (Wout) to successfully complete.
