Incredible finish. Never ceases to amaze me how they can time it like they do each and every time.

Sprint finishes can be great, but you always find yourself rooting for the breakaway being successful in scenarios like that don’t you? Well I do, anyway.

yeah, so so close @blueinsa !

Plenty of teams are crazily strong right now.

Going to be one hell of a summer watching them go at it.

Anyone else see Strade Bianchi today? Those scenes 99km out when en masse half the field were blown off their bikes by cross-winds were incredible. I can’t recall ever having seen the like before. Alaphilippe was particularly spectacular.

In terms of the “race”, Pogacar going 49km was a sight to behold; just a shame some of the other ‘top 5’ weren’t there. I understand he is planning to ride MSR and Flanders though, so they should be even more epic than usual if that does happen.

Incredible start to the season already

Fuck me I love watching these guys.

He blitzed that today; he’s already done Grand Tour plus 2 monuments in one season; so great to see the top guns riding every type of race; as for winning MSR or RVF I’d love to see Nibali win one more MSR and Pog win Flanders.

Cav just won Milan - Torino
1st Britain to do so.

Cheers Bob! Only just seen this; it has completely passed me by.

As a past MSR winner be interesting to see how he gets on; I’m assuming he will get picked!
I think it could be like a who’s who /World Champs tomorrow; Pog Rog, van Aert, Alaphillipe, they’re all gonna be there. The longest pro race, it’s a marathon to watch but such an incredible finale once they reach the coast. All roads lead to the Poggio!
