With the first monument of the year coming up on Saturday, it's about time to make the Pro Cycling thread for the season! It's a big year with an interesting GC battle lined up for the Tour, another punchy WC route, and the Olympics thrown in for good measure.
So far this year we have seen an insane Pogacar performance at Strade Bianchi, predictable Vingegaard dominance at Tirreno-Adriatico, and perhaps a surprise winner of Paris-Nice in Jorgensson beating out the likes of Evenepoel and Roglic.
So who do you have for Milano-Sanremo at the weekend? Obvious candidates have to be Pogacar and last years winner MVDP, but has to be said that it hasn't been won multiple times since Oscar Freire's last win in 2010. With the Poggio being so close to the finish line, it can be won by so many types of riders making for an awesone finish. My heart says Mads Pedersen, but head says Pogacar.
