Merckx once attacked on Capo Berta

In Merckx' times, there was no Cipressa in MSR. So Capo Berta was the penultimate climb of the race.

That's right. As bicycles developed, they introduced changesso that the route wouldn't be too easy and flat. In the 60s they added Poggio and in the 80s Cipressa.

He is back!

I thought Cosnefroy would race. He finished sixth in 2024.

Very good team even without Wellens. It's not that important since Pogacar will just ride away like he always does.

Yes. The team is important in San Remo. I was also mentioning Cosnefroy because of San Remo. This could mean that he won't be there.

The best way to win San Remo is to do it 15 times, attack every time and hope one year the chips fall correctly.

Even Sagan didn't win it and the race was excellent for his characteristics.

I think he should just sit back and relax for 297 km before pulling off a Haritz Azurmendi on Via Roma:

What are everyone’s thoughts on the second place gap? Over or under 1:30?

Won by 1:24 last year after bad crash. 2:44 year before. I take the "over" on 1:30 on even odds.

Will they sprint or is Del Toro letting Pogacar win for a return favor at MSR?

 

[Red Rick]

Strade is either the biggest race he may gift or the smalles he simply won't.

1 sec to Seixas and 15 to IDT. Jersey and shorts and skin open once again after trying to show something to aforementioned two lads with some bike handling skills.
