"We thought the kids were destroying the house again" - Bauke Mollema's house struck by earthquake as he rides Cipressa and Poggio

It is not surprising that Bauke Mollema took to the roads of Milano-Sanremo on Tuesday, even though the 38-year-old climber is not going to add his second participation at the race to that from 2014.
During his training ride, the Dutchman, who lives in nearby Monaco, rode over the two most famous climbs of the spring classic, the Cipressa and the Poggio.
Once back home in Monaco, Mollema was surprised by Mother Nature. The Nice (Monaco) area was struck by a 4.1 magnitude earthquake. Enough to move around furniture in Mollema's house. "We thought the kids were destroying the house again, but it was 'only' an earthquake," he says via Instagram.

- It's super-cool.
Barney27-04-2025 - Well, now he’s tied with Coppi, Girardengo, and Kelly at 3rd on the list of monument winners. He’s been on the podium for the last 6, winning 4 of them. And for the third year in a row, he and van der Poel have each won two - something no two riders had managed before 2023. Anyone placing bets against him in Il Lombardia?RidesHills27-04-2025
- Remco will make it back strong, he still needs some time. Crashes suck and some are tough to get over. The best way back is to race and he's doing that.awp27-04-2025
- Such a privilege to watch Tadej race. Time will tell just how great he is but it's nice watching such a great athlete race in our time.awp27-04-2025
- A fair number of people bemoan Pogacar's dominance. But we've seen how quickly a reign can end with Froome and Bernal. For now, I relish a guy who races positively, does more than his share along with his team, and seems genuinely liked by his fellow riders. Chapeau.Barney27-04-2025
- All depends on what people mean by the word "Greatest". I think what you mean is that there are multiple ways to measure someone's success. Good point.Ride197427-04-2025
- Sometimes it can be a very fine line between a race that's exciting and entertaining, and one that's monotonous and predictable.
