Milan - Sanremo 2016 **spoilers**

[Flying_Monkey]

Swift has more chance in this kind of race than in a normal length race with a sprint at the end. Like Matthews, he's not really a pure sprinter, more someone who likes a little bit of uphill, and how can make selections, and this actually suits him more.

291km of racing.... ouch

Looks like a landslide will force a route change

130k in, so hopefully not too much impact on the race

They're going down like ninepins including GT, Matthews and Kennaugh

Stannard in position for a powerful ride in.

But it's four Italians against the solitary Brit.

And an Essex boy, too.

Bums

Will be interesting to see how Gaviria does... if he can stick with the leaders until the end, who knows?

Pah!

 

[Crackle]

Pah!

One of the BMC riders moved across and just took his front wheel as Gaviria seemed to be checking over his shoulder, so he had no time to react.

I don't think anyone would have predicted Demarre. And to be fair, this would have been between Bouhanni, Sagan and Gaviria had it not been for the last's crash (caused by inexperience) and the first's mechanical (pure misfortune). All three who made the podium would have been rounding out the Top 10.

Demare was moving up on Bouhanni before the chain drop though. Bouhanni was pretty unlucky I admit. Amazing for Gavira to be so strong at such a young age.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

FDJ have suddenly stepped up a level. I wonder what they have started to do differently.

Demare accused of getting a tow from the team car.
