Milano-SanRemo -- who you got? *Spoilers*
 

Will it go to the sprinters or the breakaway? Or the breakaway sprinters?

I wanted Pidders. Next best for me is MVDP. Or anybody but Pog.. because I can only handle so many Pog on the Poggio puns. You know they're queued up.

My top three are Pogacar, van Aert, and Ewan.

Van der Poel looks like he's not in good form right now. I've heard some whispers about Ganna, but it's to be seen if you can actually execute in a tactical environment.

Still remember Oscar beating Zabel at the end when Zabel failed to ride through the line. Lost my mind in joy and disbelief! :banana:

This aged like milk :banana:

But seriously, what a ride by MVdP, one for the ages. The rest of the finishing order prediction was just about spot in, but that final push was something else.

Vid of the decisive attack. Couldn’t have been timed more perfectly.

Hey now. If I couldn't make bad predictions, I wouldn't be able to make any predictions at all.

Too many good predictions means not enough rivals for the win!

I will now hope Mathieu puts it together at Roubaix.

Good to see Powless in top 10. I'm not a fan of Ineos, but am impressed by Ganna. Cyclingnews had a pretty good shot of MVDP.

That was a hell of a race! Wow

I'm hoping that the quality of today's race gives hints of the quality of the upcoming classics and grand tours. I think we're in for a helluva year of great racing!

So it’s not just me? I’ve never been this into road racing. So many great riders, all of them quite different, but all capable of lighting up these big one day races.

Some of the moto shots of the group flowing through those narrow turns at speed were incredible. What skill and power. Chapeau!

I've not really been a fan MVdP before this. He's had my respect, but now ... I might just have to start liking the guy.

Just watched the recap. What a move, and sharp fast descending. Takes a lot of the right stuff to attack at the end of a climb after a monster day on the bike and keep it not only together on the descent but continue to build the gap. Nice. Excellent bike racing.

Near the end of the race as the peloton was being whittled down, they went into a sharp funnel with buildings next to the road on both sides. The helicopter shot of that rapid compression at race speed made my butt pucker.

ETA: I think it was the sequence between 2:30 and 2:40 in this video.
