Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

[Tonton]

La Cipressa is not nearly hard enough for TDA (The Dream Attack), and the flat to Il Poggio would doom it. But if one rider can do it, it's Tadej Pogacar, and that one would be for the ages.

I will never bet against Tadej Pogacar, Patrick Mahomes, or LeBron James...

 

[Bolder]

Pedersen to outsprint a small group. Pogacar to podium.

I'm also thinking Pedersen. For some reason I don't think it will be possible for Mvdp to get away unless Pog leads him out again...my heart over head choice is Ganna. He deserves a big win.

Only question we need to discuss is how many riders are going be OTL from Pogenheimer’s explosion and who’s finishing second. Personally I have 5 OTL and Philipsen as second.

 

[Lequack]

The only monument that has 200 km of hype before the racing.

 

[Unchained]

Is there a start list?

Let’s go!!

No tail wind = 80000 watt pogi bomb on poggio

250, but who's counting!

I like this one!

Have no fear. Good things Ganna happen

He's my pick. Look for him to get out on the break and win the sprint.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm so glad you're telling people that it's a one day monument!

 

[Bolder]

The only monument that has 25000 km of hype before the racing.

Fixed it.

Nah, it's not so bad. If the weather at your house is bad, it's a good day to put the race on in the background and fold laundry or clean the windows...

No tailwind for the race means no headwind on the first part of the Poggio.

 

[LookProGoSlow]

I look forward to Matthieu's mullet flying past the other riders on the Poggio. 'Talk to the mullet b*tches!!'

 

[Lequack]

Why don't the Belgians want to win this race? No Wout, no Remco, no De Lie.

Wout cares more about De Ronde and Roubaix
Remco wants to focus on Ardennes classics
De Lie was injured

No tailwind for the race means no headwind on the first part of the Poggio.

Also bigger advantage to moto draft

 

[Salvarani]

Also bigger advantage to moto draft

The others draft behind the guy who is first, so thats fair game.

No the advantage is bigger for the guy in front. Especially of theres a small gap that might normally be closed. It doesnt balance out

You are the one assuming there will be moto draft. Why is that?

 

[Laplaz]

Obvious choice is Milan, after all the race is named after him.

No tailwind for the race means no headwind on the first part of the Poggio.

And ...
I feel your story starts well, but it's lacking a middle and a conclusion. I'd give it an 8.

Its Sanremo baby

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Arnaud demare get dropped early on the poggio but somehow mysteriously reappear in the final km to win the sprint and end up with the Strava kom on the climb.

 

[Salvarani]

Its Sanremo baby

Sure thing honey bun
