Lorena Wiebes is the first champion of long-awaited debut edition of Milano-Sanremo Women. Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Noemi Rüegg (EF Education-Oatly) complete the podium of the women's La Primavera. Rüegg's incident with another Visma rider - Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will be the topic of discussions in next days.
Just as Lotte Kopecky (working for Wiebes) reeled in the late attack of Elisa Longo Borghini, the French ex-mountain biker launched her sprint in search of glory. But it quickly became clear Ferrand-Prévot lacked the turn of speed as she continued to swerve to her left-hand side. Until she came into contact with Rüegg who had been coming from behind.
Ferrand-Prévot reacted quickly and corrected her line of sprint, however the damage was done. Upon quick review, jury relegated the Frenchwoman from her inital 4th place to last (12th) place in the group and on top awarded the Visma | Lease a Bike rider her first yellow card.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
