“We know UAE is going to make it as hard as possible” - Tom Pidock on his strategy for Milano-Sanremo
CyclingSaturday, 16 March 2024 at 14:30
Tom Pidcock has been quite unlucky at Milano-Sanremo over the years, as he was forced to abandon the race in 2022 and in 2023 he was unable to race due to illness. Previously, in his first participation in 2021, he finished 15th. Going into this year’s race, the INEOS Grenadiers rider will be hoping for a better result.
In an interview with Philippe Gilbert for Eurosport ahead of the race, he said “I feel great, I’m looking forward to it, last year I couldn’t even start, two years ago I was sick and couldn't finish, I'm looking forward to racing today”.
When asked about his tactics given how good a descender he is, Pidock was clear that UAE Team Emirates is going to make the climb very hard for Tadej Pogacar, as he said “a little bit of both, the climb is simple you just have to keep going to the end, we know UAE is going to make it as hard as possible, that's their tactic, that’s the only way Tadej has to win”.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- 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
