Milan-San Remo - 23'rd March - *spoilers*

[Strathlubnaig]

We needed the bad weather to get the excitement back into the race after all those sections that were taken out or re-routed, wouldn't be Milan-San Remo without some wind beaten faces

I can see why Wiggins didnt enter this one....

The Nibs Attacks!

The Nibs Attacks!

I don't believe his form is good enough - the peloton isn't too concerned
edit - wet roads may help him though

He just pelted past the lead pair, guess he is going for the long range early attack, sans aide.

A big effort will be made to leave the sprinters behind on the final climb to avoid that type of finish. Nibbles knows he cant outsprint those guys, so all or nothing I guess.

Interesting finale. Lots of potential victors. Sky obviously do not share my lack of belief in EBH.

this last descent will be 'orrible in these conditions

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Looks a flat out sprinters sprint to finish

 

[thom]

good sized bunch still

 

[raindog]

Cav could do this!

Kristoff - who saw that coming …!?

 

[Strathlubnaig]

ouph, you could see the legs were heavy in that 'sprint'. Good effort all round.

Kristoff, Cancellara, Swift , xxx, Cavendish

That must be Ben Swift's best ever result

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Good last push by Candelabra there, 2nd, and a third for Swift, Cav seemed to fade last 20m.
