BORA - hansgrohe had Max Schachmann and Bob Jungels lined up for
Milano-Sanremo originally but both have fallen ill following Paris-Nice. The team now focuses on a sprinter approach, with
Sam Bennett the designated leader.
It won't surely be a sole leadership as Bennett has only once (Paris-Tours) shown his best climbing form since joining the German team. Sanremo being a race that has in the past been conquered by sprinters however, he will have an opportunity.
Danny van Poppel and BEMER Cyclassics winner
Marco Haller will also be options for a hilly race, albeit modest outsiders who will also be lookin for a sprint.
