Magnus Cort likely to miss the Milano-Sanremo with fractured thumb
CyclingTuesday, 12 March 2024 at 05:30
Magnus Cort broke his thumb in a fall in Tirreno-Adriatico. The new acquisition of Uno-X Mobility won't be in the action for the time being and can probably forget about a participation at Milano-Sanremo.
Cort crashed on Saturday in the penultimate stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, which arrived on the flanks of Monte Petrano. The 31-year-old all-rounder suffered a fracture in his thumb and had to throw in the towel early. "We wish Magnus a quick and complete recovery," Uno-X Mobility said via X.
The 31-year-old rider with the striking mustache has been an consistent presence in the Italian classic in recent years. In 2018 he already finished eighth in La Primavera, the year before he finished eleventh.
Cort is still looking for his first win of the season and for his new Norwegian team. He already rode to places of honor at the Étolie de Bessèges and the Volta ao Algarve. He was also 27th in Strade Bianche more than a week ago.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
