Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) is back for a third try at Milan-San Remo, and is still hunting a victory at the monumental 289km race, or any Monument for that matter. He has tucked away lessons learned and expected to regain top form from early March in his "fight for the podium".
In 2021 he scored a signature win at the 223.5km Clásica San Sebastián, turning heads for his abilities in the long one-day races rather than just an all-rounder in stage races. It is not the distance of Milan-San Remo that is the most daunting task but knowing when to fire the after-burners of his engine before the final dash on Via Roma.
