Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

[iBanesto]

Tattoo on Ganna's arm or are they tyre marks?

 

[Netserk]

SK Andersen ofcourse good again in this race

Always trust the Alpecin megapeak.

 

[ppanther92]

Bottom line: Pogacar needs a semi-Pogacar as teammate because Hirschi and Ulissi can't do the trick.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Quickstep looking good to keep their streak of top 20 placings this season alive.

 

[JosefK]

Half the peloton still in it.

 

[Salvarani]

Everyone knew Ulissi and Hirschi were the weak links.

Sure, dont disagree, but they could have lined up with 6 guys instead or whats your point?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Pedersen has a great chance to win it, I reckon.

To me it seems he lit an extra match on Cipressa in comparison to his competitors.

 

[Samamba]

Half the peloton still in it.

40 guys half the peloton?

It's a bit more than hoped. 20 -30 was the prediction, but UAE failed to keep the pace high.

EDIT: oh ok everyone came back

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Milan reentering
+del Toro

 

[Salvarani]

Half the peloton still in it.

More like 1/4.

 

[Danskebjerge]

What always amazes me, is that there are so few decisive crashes on the last 10 kilometers of this race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Crash coming, too many barging to the front at the same time

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Davide bais is the only good rider on this race. Everybody else should retire

 

[Netserk]

Even Del Toro has made it back. Well done.

 

[Gigs_98]

If 50 is completely decimated to you maybe and UAE down to Del Toro and Wellens on the foot of Cipressa for sure also wasn't the plan.

Obviously it didn't go to plan. But 50 people at like the halfway point is pretty extreme for cipressa standards. I simply didn't expect the picture to look vastly different even if things had gone perfectly for UAE so I'm unsure if they ever planned to attack in the first place.

 

[Salvarani]

Feels like it will be a reduced bunch sprint this time around.

 

[joseph89]

Pog has to go thermonuclear now

Most of the damage is generally done on the first half of the Cipressa.

 

[Salvarani]

Pithie!

Can he do it?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pog losing positions

 

[Ripper]

What always amazes me, is that there are so few decisive crashes on the last 10 kilometers of this race.

I don't want to jinx this but, the combo of distance, speed and gradient tends to drop off the shakier ones

 

[ppanther92]

Feels like it will be a reduced bunch sprint this time around.

Might still be a small group liek in past years after a Poggio selection. But can't see Pogacar dropping MvdP now.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Van Der Poel in prime position.

 

[Salvarani]

Tudor first into Poggio, lol

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Boo-urns.
