Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

[Lequack]

The usual assortment of wildcard teams in the break, that guy from FDJ must have attacked by mistake.

6 hours of watching the grass grow. I'll switch the TV back on later.

Is there a prize for the fastest guy?

Is this a winning break?

 

[KZD]

Pretty crazy that the two main favorites has only done one race collectively so far.

Pog, 1 race, 1 win.

MVDP, none.

Sign of the times, training camps seem to be better preparation than racing.

No

Trek with Mosca leads the peloton. Alpecin with Dillier contributes too. No one else is up there ready to pull.

Best chance to get sponsor views on the tele today

Peter Sagan has had enough of being pissed on​

It is, Sagan says, "total anarchy" out there.​

Mvp looks like he just rode straight out of the 90’s with the doo.

Keeping the break on a short leash ...

Are the peloton kidding me? Just 1:30 advantage? It should be 10 times that.

Seems like FDJ's Germani was the problem ... yeah, go work that one out!

Is there a reason why they aren't starting in Milan?

I forget exactly. But it surely involves money and power

The interesting thing about Milano-Sanremo is that several types of rider can win. Here's an overview of the favorites with their specialty:

• Best climber: Pogacar
• Best uphill puncher: Van der Poel
• Best flat puncher: Ganna
• Best descenders: Mohoric, Pidcock
• Best sprinters who can climb: Pedersen, Laporte
• Best pure sprinters: Philipsen, Kooij, Milan

Seems so.

Cause-and-effect, or just a coincidence?

What about best climber who can sprint? Or is that Pogacar too?

 

[Tim Cahill]

What is this short leash nonsense, give them 15 minutes, justice for Alessandro Tonelli

Traffic and distance can also be factors. I'd think they have more money and power in Milan than elsewhere, so that can hardly be the reason.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Finish time around 16.20 already? Certainly before 16.30 the way its raced right now.

Van der Poel - 2 bike changes and nature break.

No panic. Cool as punch.
