Milano - Sanremo 2023, one day monument, March 18

[Samu Cuenca]

A cat can't ride a bike.

Sorry, I was thinking of raccoons.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Lefevre is going to be at the finish line to bully him.

 

[Netserk]

Winter is over for good. Spring has now started for real.

Sorry, I was thinking of raccoons.

A raccoon doesn't have nine lives.

 

[Extinction]

Winter is over for good. Spring has now started for real.

It's not for nothing they call it, la primavera! The first green...

 

[topcat]

One of our own? Did she mean Kelly is one of the Eurosport team or a he belongs to the United Kingdom? The race is heating up now

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Same company, and she and he are both Irish.

The British Isles are all same same.

The British Isles are all same same.

And you speak scandanavian.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Heart says Cort, gut feeling says Van Aert

 

[Netserk]

And you speak scandanavian.

Scandinavia, also known as Greater Denmark.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

And you speak scandanavian.

Ní labhraím scánnán.

 

[Salvarani]

Almost 2/3 of the race covered.

 

[Netserk]

The lower slopes of Poggio will have the strongest wind in the finale (25-30 km/h).

Heart says Cort, gut feeling says Van Aert

Cort seems to be as good in shape as rarely before, at least. It's also the only classic he will do this spring. He's my pick as well for today

 

[Tobi]

Really hope Mads Pedersen or Søren Kragh takes this

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Kirby talking about Pidcock as if he died and as if Van Aert was at fault.

He was probably just trying to humour Blythe who comes on to co-commentate and immediately talks about a rider not in the race.

Kirby is doing a decent job and I think Lloyd, Kelly and McEwen all get on well with him maybe because they've all shared a few beers with him over the years whilst Hatch has been sitting in Spain drinking a protein shake.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Heart says Cort, gut feeling says Van Aert

Thank god you're not talking out of your ass then.

(no offense, it's just a joke)

 

[Salvarani]

Ewan in the back of the peloton with one Lotto rider ahead of him... will he even be able to survive the Capos, if they start drilling it there? I doubt it.

 

[JosefK]

Teddy will stomp. It's inevitable.

 

[Netserk]

Capo Noli. While stunning, it's a shame that it is on the route instead of Le Mànie.

 

[Breezy1985]

A cat can't ride a bike.

Or is it just that they could not be arsed to because they are too busy being nonchalant cats.

 

[Breezy1985]

Phil's golden helmet is amazing
