He will probably ride MSR every year till the career end so why not trying Cipressa madness once? :p
I still think they haven't maximized Cipressa+Poggio damage yet and can do it better with an uber-team.
Thinking about this. Would he actually stop racing MSR and what on the schedule might inspire this omission? Brother @mou says it is a cicaban race. I don't see Pogi not riding SB every year so there is no real reason not to ride MSR aside from race days.

He will try until he wins it. I would like to see Pompeiana instead of Cipressa at least one time. And Manie would be good too.

No he won't. MSR:
1) is a monument
2) it doesn't collide with anything in the schedule
3) is relatively easy in terms of attrition
Teddy will ride it till the end of his career.

A lot can happen in bike racing. MVP should be rated above Pog right now regarding MSR but it can change. With enough number of tries (Pogacar will easily reach double digit number of tries) the total probability of winning isn't that small.
MVP is only worried about Pogacar. Last year, he gave up from winning MSR, to make Pogacar lose.
Don't tell me Alpecin had a better chance of winning MSR with Philipsen against a peloton of 30 riders than MVP winning a sprint against Pogacar.
 
How many riders say they are racing for 2nd when they are competing against Pogacar?
All hail the GOAT!

That's not what happened, you are rewriting history.

Pogacar was taking the lead in the descent. He's a worse descender than some others in the peloton which resulted in Pidcock coming back, and eventually also Pedersen and Mohoric. Others were very close behind and joined right after Mohoric attacks. That's when MVDP closed that gap to help Philipsen.

Exactly what happened.

MVDP closed the gap and responded to his attacks. Sacrificed himself.

Otherwise, Pog likely goes solo.
