Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

[Red Rick]

Betting on MvdP being asleep at the wheel at 100km to go is a disgustingly good bet actually.

Tactically there are not many secrets. “Pogacar will certainly attack on the Cipressa. I just have to follow him. His Strade was impressive. I came home from training and he had already escaped. I didn't miss much.” (laughs)

“I am satisfied with my condition, but I also have doubts. Sanremo is the only race where you don't have to be 100 percent to win. This condition would not be sufficient for the Tour.” - MVDP

I find it hilarious that MVDP sat down on the couch, turned on the TV and just saw Pog alone with 80km.

Interesting that VDP is convinced Pog attacks on the Cipressa.

Could be. Could be not. Mind games.

After Pog's failed attempts on Poggio it's a realistic scenario IMO.

 

[DNP-Old]

Do note that 'Tour' in this instance means Flanders.

So we're all agreed: MvdP will win.

Pog will ride the peloton off his wheel, whenever he decides to.

With a wife, without a wife, with money, without money, with Le Manie, without Le Manie, with a bike, without a bike: MvdP will win.

 

[Sciatic]

Le Manie at domestique tempo doesn't sway very much IMO

It does give us a reason to start watching earlier, just in case something happens there.

Nice Dr. Seuss rythym there

 

[Jan the Man]

On it’s own in another race La Maine isn’t a big difference maker - in this race if ridden hard with accumulation of fatigue it makes a big difference

 

[trevim]

Wasn’t Le Manie in the route back when Cav won in 2009?

It was.

Pure power in this scenario MVDP wins 70% of the time.

Reminded of Flanders last year, VDP found himself a couple of minutes behind with like 200km to go because he was lollygagging at the back of the peloton, he got lucky that nobody bothered drilling it. If there's a similar moment of inattentiveness here they should try and take advantage.

That word is underused

Just from last week it’s seems he still has challenges with positioning at the start of important climbs, can’t imagine he would be any better at it in a 150-rider peloton starting up the Poggio!

He will not have any position problems within pog’s squad

If that was a drinking game, nobody playing it would survive to watch the Poggio.
