Milano-Sanremo Donne 2025, first edition of women's race, March 22

[Samu Cuenca]

Nice that they've lined them up based on their levels of enthusiasm.

 

[Didinho]

Stam said they won’t have the same issue like in the Omloop as they have a different tactic/leader now.
Seems like there’s not even a break going on.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What no break?

 

[Didinho]

112km to go. Complete peloton.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What no break?

It makes sense if some teams have learned from both Omloop and the first Roubaix.

 

[Didinho]

And with the tailwind they’ve done 46km the first hour. Hard to get away at this pace.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Will we really get 80 km of coverage?

 

[RedheadDane]

Will we really get 80 km of coverage?

Or will they start coverage with several minutes of blabbering?

Edit: Several minutes of blabbering - and old footage of Visma training along the sunny coast - it is.

It seems it will take a bit of time before they go live, but there's still over 20 km until the Capi starts.

 

[Didinho]

Vos with the TT helmet. Winner known.

 

[JR1012]

We are live.

 

[Didinho]

68km to go. Live coverage started. Good.

And there is a break. And a chasing group.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

69 km, not bad.

Žigart is in position to wait for Pogi somewhere on the route.

 

[Didinho]

69 km, not bad.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They have to make sure Knijnenburg doesn't run away with it, since she used to be a decent runner.

 

[Didinho]

Italian coastline 😍

 

[Didinho]

Little crash in the back. Balsamo?
Puck was right behind it but could brake in time.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I was sure that it would be Cavalli, but it was Barale. The rest looked to be alright.

is it bad that Ive bailed on a ride today to watch this, even though the weathers supposed to be worse tomorrow

I'm going to watch the races and then perhaps I'll squeeze in a walk or run afterwards. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes... yes... let's have a random tourist add...

It's never bad to bail on a ride.

Your body is clearly telling you you need a rest day

 

[Didinho]

Feels like a Kastelijn moment to attack.

 

[RedheadDane]

That's concerning... an ambulance having to overtake the peloton.

One of the crashed riders from earlier?
Or someone - not related to the race - needing to go to the hospital, with this being the quickest route?

Or going to pick up someone who needs go to hospital.
