Milano - Sanremo ... LIVE!

in Live Races
293 comments
By no later than 7am PST we should be gathered around live video feeds for the year's first monument. [RAI on at 6:50, Cycling.TV 6:30.] MSR may be hard to predict, but this much we know: nothing will be decided before the last half-hour or so. The upside of the long, slow run-in across the plains of Lombardia is the frenetic final hour along the Capes of the Italian Riviera. Great theater, great scenery, great startlist, and hopefully a great race.
A process note: we aim to start a new thread when the current one gets near 300 comments, after which it doesn't function too well. Be ready to switch over as we near these milestones. And so we needn't change threads in the heat of the action, be ready to switch over a tad early sometime close to the Cipressa, depending on where things stand.
Feel free to start early as live tickers get rolling. Enjoy!

Gazzetta has rather more details than you might want
“colpito nella notte da un attacco influenzale con disturbi gastrointestinali” struck down in the night by a dual assault of flu and gastric troubles. The classic military outflanking manoeuvre. I hope he wasn’t rooming with Gasparotto.

Did someone pick Stuey O'Grady as a name to watch?
he’s crashed after 30k and abandoned. At least that is still on the flat.

I didn't pick Stuey but thought he might be a big help for Breschel.
