      Nice highlights, but the critical moment at 3:57 of MVdP attacking is missed… always seems to be the case with highlights – they actually miss the key moments.

      I’m surprised your pushing this race as the best one in the cycling calendar? It’s still winter, and there are tons and tons of race-days left. Guess I should not watch anymore races then. And discontinue my GCN+ subscription?… If the “best” has already happened? 😢

      Looks like Pogacar gambled on a Poggio breakaway but shot his bolt and couldn't recover.
      PS- Cavendish was riding; will he be in the TdFrance this year? He's currently tied with Merckx on 34 TdF stage wins each, so one more stage win will make him the greatest TdF stage winner of all time.

      This was a great effort. You ahve to be lucky and very very good to beat a group containing Ganna, Pog and WVA. Lucky that WVA gave him a free ride up the hill.

      MvdP had one of his days. He was playing with the others. Remember how he was first on Cipressa, had a look around and took a sip of his bidon. Completely relaxed and in charge. Same on the Poggio.

      Eddy Merckx won Milan-San Remo seven times throughout his career, and his attacks came at different points in each of those victories. Here's a brief rundown of where he launched his attacks in each race:

      1966: Merckx's first Milan-San Remo victory came in his debut appearance in the race. He attacked on the Poggio climb, the final climb of the race, and managed to hold off his rivals to win in a solo effort.
      1967: In his second win, Merckx launched his attack on the Capo Mele climb, which is the second climb of the race. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win the race.
      1969: Merckx's third victory came after he attacked on the final climb of the race, the Poggio. He managed to break away from a group of riders and then soloed to victory.
      1971: In this race, Merckx attacked on the descent of the Poggio, catching his rivals off-guard and quickly building up a gap. He managed to hold off his rivals and win the race in a solo effort.
      1972: Merckx's fifth victory came after he attacked on the Cipressa climb, which is the penultimate climb of the race. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win.
      1975: In this race, Merckx launched his attack on the final climb of the race, the Poggio. He broke away from a group of riders and then outsprinted them to win.
      1976: Merckx's final victory in Milan-San Remo came after he attacked on the Poggio climb. He managed to break away from the peloton with a small group of riders and then outsprinted them to win.
      These victories demonstrate Merckx's incredible talent and versatility as a cyclist, as he was able to win in a variety of race scenarios and with attacks launched from different points on the course.
