Milano - Sanremo 2023, one day monument, March 18

[Nick2413]

Why have Trek been the ones to ride all day? Seems they’d benefit the most from an easier overall race. Unless they want to blunt the power of attacks on the 2 climbs?

 

[Danskebjerge]

This race is like a concert, and the support band is still on the stage after five hours.

 

[Netserk]

The peloton will soon reach Alassio, the beginning of the race proper.

 

[Red Rick]

Anyone know the wind today stacks up to the wind of last year?

Anyone know the wind today stacks up to the wind of last year?

Almost exactly the same.

 

[Salvarani]

Araburu crashed

 

[Netserk]

Stupid crash by Aranburu.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem with Hatch is that if you're just listening in the background, you can't tell whether someone's fallen 100 feet into a ravine or just had a minor spill because his reactions are the same for both.

 

[Netserk]

Wout not just near the front, often he moves up until he is at the very front.

 

[houtdffan]

not sure this will be a large sprint due to the tailwind. Attackers should have the advantage

 

[Netserk]

Capo Berta, steepest hill of the day. My best memory of it was the 2014 edition with Cannondale drilling it, Sagan sitting in 2nd wheel.

 

[Salvarani]

Cavendish dropped

 

[Tim Cahill]

I hope Cavendish got a good contract out of Vino, should've just kept Superman and took their chances with the Spanish police.

 

[Netserk]

I haven't been able to spot how far back Van der Poel sits.

 

[Salvarani]

Crash between Bora and DSM riders

Bennett one of them

 

[Netserk]

Bad crash near the very back of the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

A handful km before Cipressa starts. Can you feel the crescendo?

 

[JosefK]

A jutting bike rack is the culprit.

 

[jono]

I haven't been able to spot how far back Van der Poel sits.

For the last hour or so he's been with his team, typically in the front third of the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Tratnik down.

 

[Netserk]

UAE have lost positions, most of the other favourites are where they need to be.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Compatto

 

[Netserk]

Here we go!

 

[Red Rick]

Pace wasn't that high between Capo Berta and Cipressa judging by the fact that the break didn't get caught that quickly

 

[Breezy1985]

Cavendish dropped

Crash between Bora and DSM riders

Bennett one of them

Both Irish sea sprinters gone in the same few kms
