UAE must be able to start Cipressa in the front. Pogacar needs to deliver if this happenAnd tailwind to the finish
Yeah, but did you see Del Toro today?have you seen narvaez in pn?
He is strong but he can't drop a lot of riders without an attritional race.Yeah, but did you see Del Toro today?
At least they are bringing Politt this time...Last year it looked like pogi was at 20th position and his train had to come from at least 30th. No idea if they’ve made the adjustment necessary but the real race here is to the foot of the cipressa. UAE knows they need to lead here to launch and everyone else knows they need to block here to stay in it.
He can actually. Maybe even half of the peloton during a long pull at that juncture.He is strong but he can't drop a lot of riders without an attritional race.
This is key, but will also be the hardest to execute. All other teams will try to prevent this and spread out on the road. Just like last year.UAE must be able to start Cipressa in the front. Pogacar needs to deliver if this happen

They just need to be together even if they are 20 meters behindThis is key, but will also be the hardest to execute. All other teams will try to prevent this and spread out on the road. Just like last year.
rain is quite unlikely as of today, best team ever I'm not really sure, it's basically on the same level as the team he had last yearThis MSR will probably be his biggest chance to win this race until now.
- Possibility of rain
- Possibility of tailwind in Cipressa
- Best team ever
That’s pogis jobHe can't reduce the peloton to 20 riders.
Which is easier said than done with +6 teams trying to position themselves before Cipressa.They just need to be together even if they are 20 meters behind
But Cipressa is narrow. Last year the teams being first into the climb spread out on the road and there was no road left to get around them for some time. Could happen again.
So it is not raining on Saturday?rain is quite unlikely as of today, best team ever I'm not really sure, it's basically on the same level as the team he had last year
as of now the forecast for saturday afternoon in sanremo and imperia (location of cipressa) says that there won't be any rainSo it is not raining on Saturday?
