Always a course for someone to shine, but Pog can destroy MVDP in 90% of all other races, so this is just a Pog side project training ride.
Spectacular competition.
He needs much steeper longer hills based on his physiology to dominate a race
Nope, he couldn't get it done, MVP and Gana were too strong 💪💪💪. Bravo gents, most excellent race and finish 🎉
Pogacar left a 10m gap before the slow start sprint. Thats how he lost it
🔨🔨 38km/h up hill 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Such a shame to win without a class by sucking wheel of others, no wonder why he is so afraid to race in TdF,
Ganna was really impressive today. He really was a surprise for me. What a fighting spirit in the end to catch the other 2.
Still a long way to catch Merckx
MvdP is the best
It's hard to look past Pog sometimes but MVDP was outstanding in the Cyclocross season this year. I think that race will only make Pogacar even stronger. I can't see anyone else other than those two winning any of the other monuments this year
The climbs on the cipressa and poggio are not sufficiently steep or long to distance riders. The fact that a number of sprinters have won this race confirms it is not a climbers race. If riders like Mellier, Peterson, Van Der Poel and Van Art make it to the final two climbs, it will be very hard for a Podgachar, Evanapoel, Vinegard ro win this race. Mohoric used a novel dropper seatpost to in on the decent. I t takes something lucky or unusual to propel a grand tour podium rider to first plave at Milan San Remo.

I didn't think I'd be stoked if Van der Poel won, but I am. What an amazing finish with three of the ultimate superstars of the sport sprinting it out. Loved it so much.
He would crack the code if Mathieu and Pipo weren't there.
Pogi screwed up the sprint, way too big a gap.
Race was awesome. Not sure what Pogi could do better, maybe have more guys with him to top of Cipressa. Poggio is too small to make a difference. So if he keeps doing it one year he will get lucky. It only took one Van Der Poel to beat Pogi. Best is we don't have to wait too long…Friday I believe it is E3 race plus add Van Aert. Good job covering this Greg
amazing race til the end! congratulations to all three podium finishers. til next year!
I saw no mention of dropper posts in the race. Have they now been outlawed?
MVDP matched everything and even gave Pogy a taste of the poison. Special riders
so great Pog got beat.
MY pre-race prediction from 3 days ago was pretty darn accurate: I predicted Ganna, Matthews and 1 of the Alpecin riders on the podium. The final results were. MVDP, Ganna and Poggi on the podium, with Matthews 4th!
Amazing race and finish. Huge kudos to Ganna for looking up the road on the Poggio and seeing MVDP and Poggi ahead. And having the heart to bring them back and contest for the win was the most insane thing I've seen. Can't wait until next year.
Epic
Maybe post-Cipressa, Pogi made the mistake of launching too many attacks? After all, the three had made a good enough break from the peloton, right? Maybe he should have let Mathieu and Filippo pull him along for a while and thereby saved some energy that he could have released in the final km?
This was the best Milano Sanremo I have ever watched. Incredible!
Van Poel brought the race to a sprint, and outwitted pogacar because he is naturally not a sprinter. Pogacar can only win with a long range attack where the climbings are steep.
Light riders can only drop big riders if the climb is steep and long enough otherwise the big rider would just go anaerobic to match the W/kg and hold on for a few seconds.
It's the race that frustrates Pogi the most the parcours doesn't really suit him. But he really wants to win so he keeps trying. He needs more hills that's why he's won Il Lombardia the past 4 years.
TADEJ POGAČAR would have probably won if the slope had been steeper and longer.
Small hills like this are not enough to shake MvdP. Pog will have to wait for the bigger more testing Ardennes courses like LBL. Brilliant to see two generational talents slugging it out today though. Glad that MvdP won👍👍
MVDP expert only in drafting and winning
Finally something interesting in cycling
It's impressive the form these guys have this early. Congratulations to all three top finishers.
MVP and Ganna put on a great show, congrats to those guys for that hard earned win. I love watching Pog race and seeing him win, but it's only fun if there are other riders that can actually give him a run.
Ganna was my "man of the match" today.
@FloBikes where is that hoodie from?
That's why he's the best.. & still a winner.
MvdP the Best, the Coolest, the Smartest.
An incredible race. I can't believe Ganna stuck with those two on the Cipress and Poggio. Killers. All of them.
