Milan-Sanremo (incl. spoilers)
 
The first 4:30 a.m. cycling alarm clock of the year.

It's MSR, so you could probably take a 4 or 5 hour nap and not miss a thing. Tune in 30 minutes before the Cipressa.

I wouldn't bet against Van der Poel or Pogacar, which probably means someone else will win. MVDP hasn't yet raced this year, so he may lack a bit of race snap.

No, but an hour power nap before the Turchino was unexpected but pleasant.

I'm hoping for someone other than TP or MVPD, maybe Mads Pedersen, but we'll seee......

If you have HBO Max, its on there under 'B-R Sports'

Easily my most anticipated 60 min of racing during the season. There are other races that are more entertaining but with MSR there is certainty that once the Cipressa is in sight there will be chaos and nervousism until the end.

I would love to see an 'outsider' such as Ganna make it

Pedersen is on fire. He also barked at a question during the pre-race TV scrum.

What a finish. So many riders up there to root for - Pedersen, Bettiol, Pidcock, Matthews… I was cheering for each of them at different times. Alaphillipe with a great ride too. Money’s on Pedersen & Bettiol in coming classics (VanDerPoel & Pogacar as well - though they don’t seem at a much higher level than the others).

I actually think van der Poel and Pogacar did look like they were on a higher level than the rest, but they neutralized each other.

What a great finish! Current & former world champs (road and cyclocross), classics & monument winners, and grand tour winners all fighting it out. MSR never disappoints. This spring classics season is shaping up to be, well… classic!
