Milano - Sanremo changes route!

[King Boonen]

Thanks, I kind of hope it's not in it, but I also hope that they include La Maine but that seems unlikely too.

 

[Amsterdam]

Today the RCS and local authorities will meet and discuss the possibillities. I hope the pompeiana will be included because MSR without Le manie and without pompeiana will almost certain ends in a sprint and will be boring.

This isn't the first time they have changed this course and it probably won't be the last. But I totally disagree with changing these courses unless absolutely necessary. These races would not have become considered monuments/classics over many many years if the course didn't make for a good race.

When they make these changes, they might as well rename the race because it would change the entire race and you can't compare winners of this course change to the past.

agreed adding something to change who will win the race isn't right, minor changes of course acceptable but a classic should test the same type of riders year after year

Agreed. Without those, we're almost certainly looking at a sprint. Boring.

 

[Poursuivant]

Any news from the meeting?

 

[Poursuivant]

Pompeiana is out of MSR

 

[jaylew]

No Pompeiana, no Le Manie. Sprintfest.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Could Kittel take his first Monument here?

 

[jens_attacks]

yeeeyyy!!!!!!

keep pompeiana for lombardia lol

 

[the asian]

Pre 2008 Route means a sprint fest.

Think it'll still be too much for Kittel.

Good chance for Boonen or perhaps even Degenkolb.

Tough luck for Gilbert

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Since the hilly TT in the Tour last year, Kittel has performed pretty well on harder parcours. But importantly, will he even start?

 

[SafeBet]

Degenkolb smiling today.

 

[webbie146]

Is Cav riding?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Is Cav riding?

He would be an idiot not to.
It could be his last chance in this race.

 

[ILovecycling]

Could Kittel take his first Monument here?

if this happens im done with san remo.

 

[The fridge in the blue trees]

Degenkolb smiling today.

Crying more likely.

 

[Kwibus]

No Pompeiana, no Le Manie. Sprintfest.

Pffff, they shuld've kept Le Manie in with or without the Pompeiana. Race will be crap this year I guess.

 

[Netserk]

Boonen with a last chance!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

if this happens im done with san remo.

That would probably be a mistake, as this version will likely not return.

 

[burning]

Why they dont add Le Manie anyway, any info about that?

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagan must be really p....d off. It Looks like he was training more on endurance site then speed this winter

 

[SKSemtex]

Nice, I have bought air tickets, rented car .... to see Cav beating Sagan in his race. I hope there will be still snow on 22-26 there. No need to go to Remo.

 

[IlPirata92]

Greipel will take this...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Why they dont add Le Manie anyway, any info about that?

Some landslide I believe.

 

[Der Effe]

Always the same idiotic **** in Italy...Hope this has consequences.
