Tadej won, the whole peloton is happy: “Finally we’ll get a normal race again next year” #MilanoSanremo

It was worth it, what the hell happened there…

Do I know it’s pretty much useless watching Milano-Sanremo from start to finish? Yes. Am I still doing it? Yes. #MilanoSanremo

Milano-Sanremo 🇮🇹 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mathieu van der Poel ⭐️⭐️ Filippo Ganna, Tom Pidcock, Tadej Pogacar ⭐️ Isaac Del Toro, Romain Grégoire, Christophe Laporte, Tobias Lund Andresen, Wout van Aert ❓ Mads Pedersen #MilanoSanremo

Milano-Sanremo Donne 🇮🇹 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lorena Wiebes ⭐️⭐️ Elisa Balsamo, Lotte Kopecky, Noemi Rüegg ⭐️ Cat Ferguson, Eleonora Gasparrini, Kim Le Court-Pienaar, Kasia Niewiadoma, Ally Wollaston ❓ Ingvild Gåskjenn #MilanoSanremo #SanremoWomen

@cycloben2 It’s a similar story as with Philippe Gilbert. Both have all the characteristics one needs to win Sanremo, but the obsession to win could be what ruins their chances

The moment Pog will start mythologizing Sanremo, his chances will drop by 50%. And honestly, the path to 5/5 will be way easier if his fourth Monument victory is at Sanremo, rather than the other way around. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that if he wins Roubaix first, he won’t win Sanremo in his career. I consider the reverse scenario much more possible. #MilanoSanremo

No idea what to expect from Mads so close after an injury, but I imagine he wouldn’t be starting if he isn’t feeling good enough to battle it out with MvdP and Pogi…

Alec Segaert!!! Didn’t make it yesterday in Nokere? Let’s just try the exact same thing today! But this time he does succeed and gets a well-deserved win 🏆 #GPDenain
