Reporting in for MSR!
Those UAE boys are going to get whipped so hard for a minor chance of Pogacar glory!
A cracker of a start already. LOL.

I’m gonna miss it live due to a family event but will check in later once I watch the replayI think UAE has to set infernal pace on Cipressa and burn half of the team there.
Can you support MVDP in all white? I cant!
Brilliant timing from Phillipsen
Really thought Pidcock might take it
Both Tadej and MVdP miss out.
great race
Surprised me too. Alas, this race eluded Pogs. He mentioned really badly wanting to win the Milano-San Remo. I think it's custom made for a mythical descender like Pidcock and I thought he had it in the bag.What a finale! Pog looked suorisingly good in a longish sprint.
Shame that Ganna had what looked like an mechanical on Poggio descent

So much this. Pog wondering where everybody went. Can't really blame his teammates 100%. This was a strategic error. Pog third in a sprint finish. All around monster.I am sure that Pog is capable of winning MSR.
Imo UAE team failed. Wellens was amazing as usual as was del Toro. Novak was left to work alone for too long and had to do both flats and climbs, Covi did something. Meanwhile Ulissi and Hirschi were both totally missing in action.
Replace few UAE let downs with guys like Politt so they dont start climbs from 50 wheels down and some big power climbers like Ayuso, McNulty and Yates.
Yes, Yates is still recovering from the crash and McNulty is sick I believe but the point remains, UAE could do so much better.
I'm not. This is the most difficult monument for Pogacar.I am sure that Pog is capable of winning MSR.
I do think it’s tough for the punchy strategy when you have a guy like phillipsen who can work together with mvdp. I felt the same way at Paris roubaix last year for WVA. Granted he also got that flat.I'm not. This is the most difficult monument for Pogacar.
Something weird has to happen for him to win. Either he takes MvdP or a true sprinter to the line.
They allowed the re-grouping between the Cipressa and Poggio. That is where the race was done for Pogacar.

But it’s like, if you try to break away mvdp chases you. But if you take them to the line you sure as fuck can’t beat phillipsen, and if you burn your matches losing phillipsen, mvdp can still steal the win. Those two together at classics are a real handful
