Yeah, I definitely expect him to be faster this year (depending on weather conditions) but the same goes for Pogacar.
100% I don't see it going differently this time.

Even though I completely forgot it while they were between the Cipressa and the Poggio, we've seen twice before that Pogi can't drop MvdP on the Poggio - just as he couldn't on the Cipressa. So nothing new under the sun there, if we're being honest.
 
People will keep shaming MvdP for cooperating with Pogacar when this is the end result every time he manages to stick to his wheel.
idk i sometimes think people forget what a classics monster VDP is. Even for Pogi he's hard to get rid off if it isn't an actual climby race. Heck even that RVV win in 2023 Pogi was near cramping on Paterberg.

Ofcourse VDP works with Pogacar. He's got the confidence to back it up. And the results.
 
You've gotta go long against VDP like Asgreen did, not do whatever those lot just did but to be fair it probably didn't matter anyway.
VDP went from near 300m himself.. the long sprint *** is overrated trope. It's not an actual weakness. Not when he's on a good day. He lost "long" sprints before because he was simply cooked because of the race itself. Now he wasnt cooked and easily wins.
 
I don't understand the obsession with the UAE teammates. Nobody is talking about the aplecin squad. It was a Mano a Mano battle of the top 3, having vermeercsh or oliveroa wouldn't change that
Ganna also closed the first gap on the Cipressa for vdP and had no motobike in front of him to get a slight draft of the Poggio, just putting it out there.
You just mog UAE in the Cipressa run in and play roadblock FC for the first part of the climb.
