“Victory is possible” - Benoît Cosnefroy on his chances at Milano-Sanremo

After he took a stage win and the overall victory at the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes in February, Benoît Cosnefroy put in a strong performance to finish in sixth place at Strade Bianche earlier this month. With the Frenchman clearly in good form, he is now looking ahead to Milano-Sanremo this weekend, as he is aiming for a good result in the first Monument of the season.
In his two previous participations at Milano-Sanremo, Cosnefroy finished 78th in 2022 and 22nd in 2023, as he said in an interview with his Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team that “there is a small taste of unfinished business”.

On his objective for the race, Cosnefroy went on to say that “I come with the desire to achieve the best possible result, it’s the first Monument of the year, the field is significant, surely the strongest of the early season but victory is possible”.
He will be joined by a strong Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team, who will be riding in their new kit that was revealed this week, with Oliver Naesen, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Andrea Vendrame, Larry Warbasse, Sander De Pestel and Dries De Bondt all set to be on the start line in Pavia on Saturday.

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024
- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
