Sensational victory for Mathieu van der Poel in Milan-San Remo with an attack in the final meters of the climb to the Poggio that left Tadej Pogacar, Filippo Ganna and Wout van Aert completely without reaction.
After the test, he acknowledged that he couldn't imagine a better scenario and explained in detail what his plan was once he saw that in Cipressa he had good legs: "I can't imagine a better scenario than this, I told the team there was a crosswind at Cipressa, it wasn't as hard as in other years and I told them my legs were fresh."

Then, van der Poel made his move. "I knew I wanted to attack at the end of the Poggio. I had to closing a couple of gaps with Pogacar," he said. "In the end this is one of the races I've always wanted to win and the way I did it today I think it's above expectations. I'm very happy."
Asked about the fact that his grandfather, Raymond Poulidor, won the race 62 years ago: "It's not only special for that, but also because it's a monument and it's one of the races that any runner wants to win, I had my focus on this one. career since I started training again. In Tirreno things were also not as I expected, but what I wanted was to reach my best level, which I think has arrived today".

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
