Whether Tadej Pogačar hopes to win Milan-San Remo with an attack over the Cipressa, the Poggio, or even from the Turchino, as he joked on Friday, his task has been made even harder after a key teammate crashed out early in the race.
The 298km Monument from Pavia to San Remo claimed its first victims after 55km of racing on Saturday morning as two riders crashed in the peloton, abandoning the race shortly afterwards.
