Mad pedersen is lucky he has hair because otherwise he would be a bigger bal fraud than that charlatan indigo San millan!! It's easy to win small group sprints when you are racing some part time soldiers in etoile des besseges. If stuyven has freedom and goes with mohoric or sobrero he wins. Pedersen is another wout van aert at the moment. Hopefully he redeem himselfs in Flanders because losing that sprint to Pogacar (who attacked many times!!!) after the team race for him, well it's disappointing.

Totally agreed. When he saw Philipsen, he or Stuyven should have attacked.

He was also the one closing gaps both uphill and on the descent. Even more so should he then get Stuyven up the road.

It was certainly disappointing but not really part of a trend, I would say. It was pretty obvious that Stuyven should be the helper in that situation.

Pedersen, although very common with him, was already red as a tomato before we hit the Capi. He just didn't have the legs, can't fault him for that. Now, whether he should have been honest to the team or those in the car need to able to adapt and be flexible with their tactics is a different matter.

I do always wonder, how much would he improve if the did altitude training?

Mads pedersen says "he doesnt give a *** about potentially being the first danish MSR winner"

Mads Pedersen: Jeg er pisseligeglad

Som en af de helt store favoritter kører Mads Pedersen lørdag Milano-Sanremo, og hvis han lykkes med målet om at vinde, vil han være den første dansker i historien til at gøre det. Men det rører ham ikke

To clarify, it's the first Danish winner part that is irrelevant to him, obviously not the win itself.

Really enjoyed that, from the Cipressa onwards. Impossible to call even to the last km. Loved seeing all the genuine bonhommie among the riders at the finish. Some great throws of he dice ... Pidcok winning would have been fun. And Ala finishing in the top 10 with a flat. Most entertaining.

By the way, it was quite funny that Gonzalo Serrano of all people was the one in third wheel behind Wellens and Pogacar when the Belgian threw down the gauntlet on the Poggio. Maybe he was in just a little bit over his head there.

It wouldn't have taken much for him to take a switchback poorly and the UAE duo might have opened a gap.

That was a bit weird. I was worried Pogačar would get a winning gap purely because Serrano was in the way.

Pogi better hire a mercenary next year to take his wheel and let go in a hairpin!
