Milano-Torino 2026, March 18

[Berniece]

this says nothing about his shape , he knew he could wait until they were in striking distance of his sprint

Looked like he went deep at the finish. Not sure there was much more left, even if he played it differently from the start

obviously he went full from when he launched but the climbing time reflect the movistar pace

This is similar as people always saying how fresh Pogacar looks at the finish. It is easy when you can softpedal the last 10 k of a solo.
Here, Pidcock went all out for the last 2 minutes, so of course he was exhausted.

I think we maybe over hyped gee a little bit

Nothing to suggest he is one day racer. Double is in the same boat.

That's like skipping the Tour to go for San Sebastián. Wild stuff.

No, but I think Strade-Tirreno-Torino-Sanremo is clearly too much and I think this may be a better route to Sanremo.

TBJ uploaded to Strava. First Superga ascent was faster until the junction.

Good last few K!

Nice win by Pidders. Multiple accelerations to get the gap proving to be the strongest rider. He continues to deliver for Q36.5, suggesting it was a great move for him.

Can't help but feel the Roglic of old would have destroyed that finish.

Probably he would've but it's 2026. Strong performance by Pidcock while Rogla was also decent today.

Nice to see Uijtdebroeks already picked up on the Movistar tactics.

I don‘t see what he‘s supposed to do differently, he can‘t really rely on his sprint and I think he made pretty normal, although very slow attacks.

It's also his first race back from injury.

He's also just not that good.

attack on the flat just as the peloton got back to the lead group ?
