When at half Poggio Pogacar couldn't go solo, I pictured MVP winning, if not for a surprise attack from Ganna.
Now I see very difficult for Pogacar winning MSR or Paris Roubaix, he needs harder races.
Ganna gonna do more great things this season. Tirreno was strong already, but now at MSR... damn! Kinda hoping Pogacar will do Roubaix, because I think it'll be more his kind of thing. Can be a very hard if they play it well with the team. I think they shouldn't've burned all their matches on the Cipressa. Especially when you saw how easy it looked for MVDP
Yeah, Ganna is definitely strong. He can be a surprise in the cobbles.
However, I don't see any stronger than Van der Poel now. I thought that he was not on a very good shape on Tirreno, but watching him yesterday the only option I see is a team ride like Ineos did when Van Baarle won in 2022.
Pogacar could be there too, but I don't see him beating VDP.
