In the absence of Tom Pidcock, Filippo Ganna leads INEOS Grenadiers at Milano-Sanremo

Tom Pidcock crashed twice and got injured at Tirreno-Adriatico. This was a pebble in the shoe for INEOS Grenadiers who had the Briton planned to be the leader for Milano-Sanremo, but in his absence several riders will have freedom, including Filippo Ganna.
The Italian has finished second at both the Vuelta a San Juan and the Volta ao Algarve this year and has his climbing legs sharp. Sanremo is a race that doesn't ordinarily suit a pure time-trialist, but Ganna being a powerhouse will suit him very well on the climb to the Poggio where he should be able to stay in sight of the best.

The Italian has recently won the opening time-trial of Tirreno-Adriatico, showing strong form. He will be one of several options for INEOS, who have 2017 winner Michal Kwiatkowski and Jhonatan Narváez as possible outsiders who can do well in the climbs, as is youngster Magnus Sheffield.
The lineup is then completed by a mix of youth and experience, with Luke Rower, Ben Swift and Kim Heiduk looking to play a support role for their leaders at La Primavera.
INEOS Grenadiers for Milano-Sanremo: Filippo Ganna, Kim Heiduk, Michal Kwiatkowski, Jhonatan Narváez, Luke Rowe, Magnus Sheffield and Ben Swift.

- 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
