50 years after taking his record seventh victory at Milan-San Remo, cycling great Eddy Merckx has told Tadej Pogačar to attack away on the Poggio, not the Cipressa, if he wants the best shot at finally reeling in La Classicissima on Saturday.
Speaking in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Merckx relived his glorious solo win from 1976, and commented on the greats of the modern day, noting how two-time winner Mathieu van der Poel is still the man most likely to deny Pogačar.
