Milano - Sanremo 2025, one day monument, March 22

Everyone is hyping Cipressa and I'm expecting a total failure (like always). For some reason Cipressa is considered the most overrated climb in the world.
The run-in is too chaotic. The odds doesnt favor UAE.

Most or all other teams really dont want to ride Cipressa extremely fast. They only want to position their leader at the front going into it. Then sit up.

Cipressa in itself isnt really hard either. Capo Berta is harder... but you need guys after to push until Cipressa and go in with a reduced peloton, rather than the whole bunch.
