Milan-San Remo

today Eurosport 2 – 1.15pm

who do we think ? Peter Sagan, Arnaud Demare or Fernando Gaviria does Cav have a chance ?

Don’t see Cav figuring.

As a proper outsider I’ve put a tenner on Steve Cummings. He’s been playing his cards close to his chest but his 4th place in the Tirreno-Adriatico TT shows he’s in superb form.

Ben Swift perhaps to improve on last years finish.

That would be nice too. Lots of chat about Sagan and Gaviria but we all know how the classics have a way of bumping the favourites.

GVA he’s a really good early season rider and has a good amount mental strength to get in a break and plan well

EDIT: check out the velon website for live rider data

Gaviria will be marked out of contention unless he fires one of on the Pog.

I’d like Cummings to head home with a grin, but this year I think it’ll be an unmarked leadout rider who gets the leap in the final 1k.

No Cav, but I do hope he fights for it.

Tom Boonen is talking tough, well he’s been dissing Sagans team mates 🙂 maybe going out in a blaze of glory!

if it all comes together then Sagan vs Gaviria for me, and I hope Gaviria gets it after last year.

I’ve gone for Kristoff and my fallback is Kwiatkowski.

just switched it on andits finished?

Last year’s?

It’s still on – about half way through.

I’m going for Kristoff btw.

Degenkolb looks like he had a good christmas 😯

Haha – there’s one or two “executive profiles” in that bunch

25km to go, it’s all kicking off now!

NIce to see Boonen up there but I suspect that means we won’t see him at the sharp end of the day 🙁

Mix of Twitter and text updates form cyclingnews here as I don’t have access to footage. Also only just joined it, no idea what’s happening!

dont’ know if it is georestricted

how fast are they descending 😯

That was awesome. Sagan is just astounding to watch. A proper racer in every respect.

Another win for the sky drug cheats! Time to give up watching pro races I think

Weird thoughts there imo.

Brilliant last few km. Quite a bike throw there at the end by Sagan.

brilliant finish, chapeau to all 3 of them 😀

Brillaint finish, youve got to admire Sagan he’s real star but likes the race more than the win.

Stunning finish, Sagan is a 100% or nothing rider, top quality champion, good race management from Sky to have a team together on the Poggio

amazing racing!

Another win for the sky drug cheats! Time to give up watching pro races I think

bless. i think theres another thread for you.

great race, alaphilipe sat in a bit but still all 3 chapeau. attacks never stick on the poggio. brilliant finish, real grim tired sprint.

Do you really think they’re worse than anyone else?

Heroic effort from Sagan, gutted for him – but what a finish.

7.08 means I’m way off the time guess in the Rapha classics competition. Ah well, good finish!

Do you really think they’re worse than anyone else?

Yes I do!

no other recent team has turned so many average at best domestiques into world beating winners ! The whole operation stinks!

Keep it to the TUE thread please.

Yes. Sorry I rose to it.
