Milano - Sanremo 2022, one day classic, March 19

Ewan winning this would be a refreshment tbh.

He won't.

 

[Velolover2]

He won't.

I know but this year you are allowed to cheer for the chasers.

Ewan winning this would be a refreshment tbh.

The last 5 editions have went to the attackers. MSR is supposed to be 50/50 between attackers and sprinters.

It would be more realistic if he took the start.

I think Ciolek‘s San Remo 2013 made him a legend forever. It‘s as if he would have won 20 GT stages.

It was a day when hard men cried. Insane day.

 

[IndianCyclist]

The sickest MSR ever literally

Sprinters won 7 of the 8 editions prior to the 5 years you mention, so it seems we’re still getting a fairly even distribution. Especially when you realize (or run your own test) that 50/50 often looks like this:
Heads heads heads tails tails heads tails tails tails tails tails heads tails tails tails heads heads . . . Etc

 

[Salvarani]

Probability has no memory.

 

[Lequack]

Will it be a 1-2-3 from these guys again?

MvdP could do a Moser: winning San Remo on his first day of competition.

Well, after all the big names withdrawing, I honestly don't think that "The Lesser Vermeersch" - sorry, but after Florian's 2nd in P-R last year, Gianni will forever* be the "Lesser Vermeersch" to me - being out is that big a blow.


*Well, unless he goes and wins something really big.

Many riders will be happy with this. Chances of major crashes just decreased by 63%.

So Ewen out of La Primavera as well! jeez, pogophobia is taking its toll. Hopefully the race will actually start.

Yep... bookies here are afraid of even putting him in the offer.
Only on demand.

 

[samhocking]

Pog has the Tirreno flu, but says flu makes no difference to his racing, he's raced with it before and was fine haha!

Was that Valverde coming in second?

Without Ewan, who is gonna take up the chase? Not Lotto..

QS, Trek, BORA...

 

[Salvarani]

QS, Trek, BORA...

Neither of these line-ups impresses that much. Only Quickstep has a decent team but they are still missing their best riders here and it is the first time Jakobsen is riding this race.

Pedersen will most likely have to race on his own in the finale. He cant count on much help from any teammate once they reach Poggio, but he is good enough that he could win it with luck on his side.

Bora? Could they have sent a more worse team than this.

That's oddly specific.

Bora? Could they have sent a more worse team than this.

Their M-T team?

Depends... should they've forgotten to do the homework...
