all the talk about Pogacar... people.. .realize this is a shallow climb. A lot of other riders apart from Pogacar can ride this fast. Same way last year everybody expected MVDP/Alaph/Wout to blow everyone away and Ewan was following.
It isn't happening. I don't see Pogacar blowing everyone away the same way he does on a long steep climb like in the Tirreno
True, this is a power climb, peak watts matter more than W7kg.
On a side note, that one time that Kwiatkowski won

The croissant looks humongous for the tiny hand.Wout is anxious, can't stop riding the Poggio, or so the sources say. When he's not on the Poggio he's seen at the local coffe shop looking out for signs of Pogacar

That said, with UAE going all in for Pogi I expect a really hard pace already on the Cipressa.

Like I said he is on the lookout, if he spots Pog he must be ready to stick to his wheel. There is no easy training rides.

This is so dumb. He'd be a top 5 favourite here. I just don't understand this. He's never even started the race.

Although being the king of uphill drags, I'd say he estimated that only his peak shape can get him over Poggio with contenders and opted to time it for cobbles.

Why Tadej Pogačar winning Milan-San Remo is bad for cycling
For the sake of cycling, can somebody please beat Tadej Pogačar Words: Joe Robinson The peloton is hurtling along the Ligurian

Holy f'wk there is already articles about this.
The author is choosing unlikely scenarios (Pog attacks on Cipressa, Oude Kwaremont) but he does have a point. You can't give him an inch.

Haha I love this.
They hook a wide right into the bottom of the Cipressa. The pace remains high as the burly Classics men like Yves Lampaert and Luke Rowe flex their muscles at the front of the bunch. They tilt into the pedals, increase the power and string the bunch into a snaking line to prevent any attacks.
Then, ten riders back, you see him. His hair poking out of that Met helmet, wisping in the wind. He is bobbing out of the saddle, elbows tight, hips swaying like a Salsa dancer.
It’s Tadej Pogačar and he is here to win Milan-San Remo.

Me too. I dont get it at all.
Trek seems to have this weird thing about rotating leadership between some of their riders for absolutely no reason

Everyone knows Mollema is the best. Someone should tell Trek.

Noone would need to tell them if they just did their homework and read the CN forum
