It is only the end of March, but already the image of the year might have been taken. At the end of a historic edition of Milan-San Remo, the race's podium were led backstage before the presentation, to be shown the world's smallest couch to sit on.
Wout van Aert, Filippo Ganna and Mathieu van der Poel all sat cheek to cheek to cheek on a seat clearly designed for two not three. I suppose they were all pretty exhausted after 300km of riding, but could they not have found another seat for such an event? Or could not one of them have stood?
