    Yep, He was trying to jolt the bike and move the pad out. Unlikely to work.

    Fair play for having the guts to go and even more guts to not panic with 200m to go

    The chasing group were too paranoid about the other group members and seemed to let off.

    Great to see Sagan back as well with a 4th place

    Chapeau to Stuyven... fully deserved since he went on the attack when they reached Via Roma.

    Stuyven claimed a lot of scalps there. Fair play to him. How easy was Caleb Ewan up the Poggio?

    For all the talk, DQT didn't even make the top 10. Ala in 16th was their best

    Great win for Stuyven, really didn't think he'd hold on when the rest started the sprint. Enjoyed that

    First time WVA, VDP and JA have been in a race together and one of them didn't win it, I think.

    Edit: I woz incorrect

    It was wasn’t expected anyhow pre race he’d even talked himself out of it in interviews saying it’s less and less the sprinters classic.

    In San Remo with everyone else, innit?

    (He finished in 129th, 8 minutes down, behind Nico but just ahead of Chris Jensen)

    Great move from Stuyven to get that bit of a gap, goes to show what happens when the favourites start looking at each other. Someone had to go with WVA and Ewan still in the final group and he had the guts to try. Shocked at how easy Ewan got up the Poggio, he looked like he was going to attack at one stage.

    300kms of racing with very little happening until the last km. Still better than watching rugby though :)

    Was just wondering what the "great result" comment meant

    Obviously his team won but I thought there was more to it

    Decent start to the year for Trek, they've had a few good results now.

    Delighted for Stuyven - he would've easily been top 10 in a straight sprint, which would be an ok result. Instead of banking that, went for it.

    Sagan 4th in the end. Pidcock being there at the end was some result, although both skineos guys finished at the back of the group.

    I think he could've been in the mix but for the mechanicals. He was coming in with better form than Ewan, albeit Ewan better at those efforts.
