gummibear Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Sags got knocked sideways there Glad he's not hurt for the next outingThat was close for Sagan and Spartacus[emoji15][emoji15]
kosmonooit Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Seemed a pretty random win to me, bit like football
tombeej Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 None of the favourites wanting to chase, cook themselves (like EBH) and take others to the line. So they all end up with zero. Wonder if it's cause they don't want to chase or the legs just couldn't respond. After 300kms it must be eina.Agreed. I'm still confused. Struggling to understand the tactics of some riders/teams.
'Dale Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Agreed. I'm still confused. Struggling to understand the tactics of some riders/teams.The Skyborgs had a lovely shot gun approach First Stannard to allow Rowe, Kwia and Swift to chillaxThen the Poggio punch by Kwia which was quite threatening.Then the swift sprint surge by Swiftie Geez, that finish was intense.Always is. Very very very relieved that Sagaan is not in a sling.
tombeej Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 First course has been served. Feeling like the hors d'ovres were a little flat to be honest. Lacked something. Hoping the main course (the cobbles) makes up for it. No worries, they never disappoint. 3 Michelin stars all the way.
Frosty Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 How very depressing for some of us...Points after event 1 - MSR

Swifty's second MSR podium in 3 years. He seems to have a feel for this race - hope he wins it one day. Quick Step's plan was obviously all about delivering Gaviria to the finish. But they had bad luck with important team members crashing out at important moments. And then the final crash.... As you say, I'm happy everyone seemed to make it through uninjured (except maybe 'G').
Frosty Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/03/news/399127_399127 Slow motion view of Cancellara and Sagan's bike handling skills Edit: and that after nearly 7 hours on the bike.
'Dale Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 "This is incredible. There are days like this one in which everything works despite the occasional hiccup, like crashing at the bottom of the Cipressa. I made it across at the bottom of the Poggio and the entire way I felt fantastic. I became the under-23 world champion in similar conditions after crashing. I'm delighted to win Milano-Sanremo. This is a big one and has been running for over a century. It's extraordinary. I'M extremely happy..." Winner, MSR 2016

And it was slowed down in that gif and still happened so quickly.
Frosty Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Geez that's some impressive skills. And it was slowed down in that gif and still happened so quickly.The most amazing part is that he (Sagan) saw it coming and already started moving before Gaviria had even hit the deck.
