"I hope to be the one with the best legs on the Poggio" - Tadej Pogacar wants to win Milano-Sanremo solo

Tadej Pogacar faces Milano - Sanremo 2024 with the sole objective of winning. In statements collected by Cycling Pro Net before the race, the Slovenian talent gave his impressions this past Friday.

The UAE Team Emirates rider said he feels better than in 2023, when he didn't even make the podium and that he hopes to be the one with "more strength" when the decisive moment arrives on the mythical climb to the Poggio:

"I think everyone wants to win a race when they ride it and even more so if it's one of the five monuments. San Remo is one of the most difficult races to win, the most complicated and for me it's a big challenge. Last year I felt very good but I couldn't win or finish on the podium, which was unfortunate. This year I feel much better and more confident, we'll see how the race goes in Cipressa, I hope to be the one with the best legs on the Poggio."

On the strategy to follow to try to win the Milano-Sanremo, Tadej Pogacar acknowledges that there is not much of a secret and that the key is to have good legs at the end, where everything is always decided:

"Everything has to go perfect, the plan is to go all together, everyone has more or less the same plan, everything is decided in the last hour of the race, the last 2 hours are crazy and you have to have the best legs on the last climbs."
