'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 The closer the riders move to the coast the more the wind picks up. It's early days but this San Remo has all the makings of another epic edition.
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Reports are in that Jose Joaquin Rojas has abandoned the race. He's the first high profile rider out of the race, although it was of course confirmed that 2012 race winner Simon Gerrans wouldn't start due to illness.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Â The leaders are coming up the feedzone. They've been on the attack since almost the start of the race but with 165km still to go, there's a lot of racing to play out. The leaders in the peloton will be happy with how things have gone so far - weather aside - but once we hit the coast the chase will gradually begin.

tombeej Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 It's the Cannondale team of Peter Sagan who set a fast pace in the peloton going over the top of the Turchino pass. In fact, around 30 riders have been blown off the back so a first selection is being made ahead of the windy coastal roads.
tombeej Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 The leaders have reached the coast. 140km to go. The lead has dropped now to just under 7 min.Cannondale are in the drivers seat.With a headwind all the way home from here, not much chance of the breakaway succeeding even to the Cipressa.

'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Â First bit of action for the favourites, with Sagan suffering a mechanical. He's back with the bunch within just a couple of minutes though.
'Dale Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 We're into the final 100km with the peloton on the coast now. Steady rain and a buffering wind as Cannondale set the pace.
