Caleb Ewan has finished in the podium of Milano-Sanremo already on several occasions. Recently he has not shown the best form but the Australian was set to be protected by Team Jayco AlUla; but the team will now fully focus on Michael Matthews.
“I’m really looking forward to going back to Milano-San Remo, I missed it last year due to Covid, but it’s one of my favourite races of the season and definitely the most beautiful of the year in my opinion," Matthews said in a press release. "Unfortunately, I got sick in Paris-Nice so had to abandon, but I’ve had some time to recover now and I’ve got some good training in this week, so I’m ready to go.”
Luke Plapp and Alessandro De Marchi will be key support in the ascents of the Cipressa and Poggio di Sanremo. 'Bling' already finished five times in the Top10 and twice on the podium - in 2015 and 2020. A strong puncheur, he absolutely has the legs to ride around the best in the Poggio di Sanremo however he needs a perfect day with strong climbing and sprinting. He comes off the back of a very modest start to the season
“The first Monument of the year his here and with Michael Matthews we will be aiming to be gunning for the win when the race swings onto the famous Via Roma," team DS Matthew Hayman added. "Milano-San Remo is always an exciting nail-biting finish after a long day in the saddle, Michael has a strong team around him who will be there to support and position him into key points, so we are ready.”

- 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

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.
