Congratulations on winning Milano Sanremo.

 

[Didinho]

Another monument unlocked. One to go.

Impressive way to win today. Well done.

 

[Salvarani]

Hadn't he crashed and with a better leadout..

A better lead-out is never gonna happen in this race. People can forget about that. It is just very hard to execute no matter what.

Other factors that are more important at the end of the day.

 

[HashRouge]

Pidcock just told to the interviewer that pogacar has said to him he won’t comeback to this race anymore. Well, good luck to vdp and ganna🤣

Where did you see a Pidcock interview? I was hoping they'd interview him on TNT but no such luck!

The gap he was able to produce on Cipressa in just a few hundred meters was mental, I think it got to around 35 seconds at some point, for such a shallow and short climb it's crazy.

I need to re-watch that climb. I think the problem is that if one person lets the wheel go, anyone behind them loses any chance, even if they themselves could actually have held Pogacar's wheel.

 

[Miha81]

I won't doubt this man anymore. He seems to defy what I believe achivable. Great edition in many ways.

I saw it live on tv though

Now he isn’t coming back, msr is going back to where it belongs I.e ciciban. No action until final 5 kms

 

[Salvarani]

That is probably not very good for Pidcocks chances in the future, in this race.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Great ride and performance from UAE and Pogacar. Overcame many detractors pre race and the challenges during. Only one monument left and one more race till he can say he’s the GOAT after he surpasses the sprint GOAT.

 

[jmdirt]

WOW TP!

 

[AmRacer]

So, that was number #11, eight to go. Can he do it?

 

[Purito91]

I think he will come back almost every year till the end of his career.

What other races should he race instead.

Now he has no pressure and probably win win a few more editions.

 

[Purito91]

Now a few days of rest and then go for a third ronde and first roubaix.

The best time of the cycling calender just started and this time he has won sanremo.

I will party tonight.

Amazing.

 

[Keram]

I think he can win four monuments this season. Ronde, Liege and Lombardia to come. And Tour and Worlds obviously. Insane stuff if he can deliver this

The race organizers will add Le Manie back just to invite Pogačar back.

I think the only think that can stop him is a crash or bad luck. You saw today how fast it can be over with a bad crash especially in the classics.
Paris Roubaix will be very hard to win of course.

or MVDP - they both benefit from Pog dropping the sprinters

 

[Krzysztof_O]

The current holder of 4 out of 5 monuments (plus WC) and has won 6 out of last 8 monuments (+ 2 WC in that period). Not bad!

 

[AmRacer]

The current holder of 4 out of 5 monuments (plus WC) and has won 6 out of last 8 monuments (+ 2 WC in that period). Not bad!

And 3 GT's

 

[Poursuivant]

The gap from the front three to the peloton about 30 seconds after the separation on the Cipressa was crazy.

 

[Salvarani]

or MVDP - they both benefit from Pog dropping the sprinters

Maybe Remco shows up, if Pog actually might skip it now, which would be quite hilarious but not surprising when it comes to that guy.

Would like to see Seixas give it a try at MSR as well. Del Toro.

There can still be riders that can force a selection, but question is if they can do it like Pog.

Gives WC 22 final vibes. The drama with the crash, also amplifying the heroics of the win, history surrounding it etc
