Strade Bianche 2026, March 7, one-day race

[Extinction]

I don't like supporting against someone, but it's my genuine hope Pogacar does not win Strade, San Remo and Roubaix this year. I think that would be good for cycling. alas... it will not be.

Nah, at this point he should win MSR and Roubaix just to see the goat hype train go berzerk.

 

[Berniece]

Yes, you are right. I think he will have no problems on the dirt. Good catch. Another reason to keep an eye on this guy.

I think he’s going to podium and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets dropped last

If he wins both of them, he will have a five monuments season.

Yea, but he has to beat MVDP. Even had he not crashed last year in Roubaix, they would have most likely gone together into the velodrome and I would not have bet against the Dutchman. Pog probably needs to have a perfect race and MVDP an incident to win.

Unless it's Remco. He is allowed to win all the time.

The utter hilarity of Simon Yates with 0 votes.

Unfortunately I misread the question back then and thought this was about who would get 2nd. Being the cycling expert that I am I therefore did not vote for Yates.

Okay.

After MVDP decided to ride last weekend this is the first race of the year I'm actually hyped for thanks to Seixas

But the real question is if you were watching Finestre live?

Probably a stupid question, all the data from the Giro indicated Gigs was attending a coma.

 

[KZD]

Very good field here. Hopefully we will have a battle like last year.

Pogačar should still be able to win solo but I see Pidcock and Seixas capable of give them some sort of fight. Del Toro is my pick for second, as he might not have to work and then ride on the wheels of Seixas and Pidcock.

Curious to see Albert Philipsen, Del Grosso and Van Aert here
