Enbetween two showers of the Covid, Milan-Sanremo will be in a hurry to exist. With favorable winds announced from the capital of Lombardy, and from three quarters back on the Riviera of the Ligurian coast, the peloton is hungry to exploit the first of the five monuments, the one which announces the spring, not necessarily the sun confined behind of gloomy outlook. However, the runners do not cease to bring brilliance, panache, bravery, like the three virtuosos who have taken place since the Worlds of Imola (victory of Alaphilippe in front of van Aert), in passing by the Tour of Flanders (van der Poel in front of van Aert) and the Strade Bianche (van der Poel in front of Alaphilippe) to explain himself on the via Roma. Their merciless fight obscures everything else, which is obsequious with regard to a race of 299 terminals in which the sprinters, most of the time, are the big favorites.
