Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Del Toro isnt strong enough.

Long race for such a young guy

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah, it will have to be Poggio for Pog and hope some will still feel the effort from this. It was always gonna be hard to go solo from here.

The guys that will feel the effort most are Pogacar's teammates who have to make the Poggio hard.

 

[Berniece]

9:28, who won?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Please unban mou so he can explain this clusterfuck!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow, what a tight little corner there!

 

[Ripper]

UAE doing a great job of pulling for everyone

 

[Escarabajo]

I don't understand UAE. I guess I'll eat my words if they win, but I think the lost the race in the last 2 climbs.

 

[Salvarani]

The run in to Cipressa was always gonna be the most critical moment to get it right. The others teams successfully swamped them, which is not that strange either.

They tried and now the race is wide open at least.

 

[Gigs_98]

So this means the plan never was to attack on the cipressa right? Because if it was I don't think UAE was in that bad of a position to try it.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Hand timed Cipressa at about 9:30. Far away from breaking 9 as Maxtin hoped for.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

9:28, who won?

I was going to say either 9:20 or 9:28, but I chose the former.

 

[RobertCrawley]

I've got to get to Italy.

 

[Tim Cahill]

All that big talk from UAE pre-race, Mareczko would still be here

 

[ppanther92]

So this means the plan never was to attack on the cipressa right? Because if it was I don't think UAE was in that bad of a position to try it.

The idea might have been but on top of a high speed and not 9:28 and a peloton of 50. Team too weak.

 

[Samamba]

Trek goes hard in the descent.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

All that big talk from UAE pre-race, Mareczko would still be here

If he had started, he would have already been on a plane to the next race in Asia by now.

 

[glassmoon]

ufff

 

[Didinho]

Plapp solo!

Oh wait nvm.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

break broke

 

[postmanhat]

I really want to see Plapp crest the Poggio in the lead, then hold everyone up on the descent, so we have a 50-man bunch sprint.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Overcooked that corner. That one looks painful.

 

[Samamba]

Splits in the descent

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Breakaway performed admirably today, sad to see they crash at the end of their efforts.

 

[Netserk]

Under the following line you will all predict tomorrow's time on Cipressa (record is 9:19 from 1996):
