| 0:00.0 | You know, it could be that I can perfectly see a scenario where Pogacha attacks, attacks, attacks, from the pool follows and actually from the pool drops Pogacha on the podjo. |
| 0:08.6 | I don't exclude that. |
| 0:12.5 | Everybody, welcome back to the Move Plus, our weekly show. |
| 0:15.9 | This week, it's a special outcomes edition. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm Spencer Martin. |
| 0:19.3 | I'm here with Johan Bernil, and we are predicting Milan San Remo, which is on Saturday, not Sunday of this weekend, the first monument of the 2026 season. We finally get the big guys going at each other. Tadipagic, Matthew Vanderpult, Tom Pickcock, Matthew, Brendan, Watt, Vanardt. Very exciting stuff. Johann, I'm going to, I'll just say a little bit about the race, a little bit of the contenders, the betting odds, and then we'll get your take on who's going to win this and how it's going to play out. Milan, San Remo, we all know it, 200 and 298 kilometers, I believe. It's shrinking. It's sub 300. It does not start in Milan anymore. got kicked out out to Pavia, in San Remo, as always. |
| 0:58.1 | Pretty flat to uphill for the first half. |
| 1:01.6 | They go over the Paso del Tuchino, I believe, and then they descend down to the coast. |
| 1:08.5 | Series of climbs get harder and closer together toward the end. |
| 1:12.2 | The big highlights, though, are the Chappresa, which is about 26, 27 kilometers from |
| 1:18.3 | the finish line. |
| 1:19.4 | And then they descend down that, have a little flat section, and then the pogeo. |
| 1:23.4 | The final climb, it's shorter, but quite a bit faster. |
| 1:26.7 | They descend down very twisted descent into the finish in San Remo. |
| 1:31.4 | It's downhill to flat for the last two kilometers. |
| 1:34.5 | The Chippesa is 6K long. |
| 1:36.7 | Pogio, four-ish kilometers long. |
| 1:39.8 | Those are the two decisive climbs. |
| 1:42.3 | The odd thing about San Remo, longest race of the year, probably the one where you have to watch the two decisive climbs. The odd thing about Sin Ramo, longest race of the year, |
| 1:45.9 | probably the one where you have to watch the least of it, because it's important in the |
| 1:50.6 | sense that it is putting load in riders' legs, making them less explosive, changing how a sprint |
| 1:55.8 | might play out. But really nothing happens until the base of the final two or three climbs. |
