    I spent a week in Laigueglia a few years ago. Quite a nice place to relax and I've got pictures of the muretto at Alassio somewhere

    I like that coast too. Nice is nice too. Good scenic riding with some decent hills. Need some good form to go up them to enjoy it. :-)

    How do they ride in this with bare ears? I need my ears covered when it drops below 20 degrees. Their sinuses must be so painful.

    Greipel looks pretty good to me at the moment.

    Cannondale and Katusha on the front. Slowly ramping it up before the Cipressa.

    Sporza informing us all that Milan-San Remo doesn't start properlu until there are only 40km left.

    Could have told me that an hour and a half ago, I could have had a bath or read a book

    Handy time gap for the break... They'll get to the Cipressa at least

    Cavendish has started featuring regularly - looks like both he and Greipel fancy this one.

    Ha ha. Just to clear it up: are you doing an impression of a pirate or is that just how you start a sentence? :)

    Capo Berta has a few steep ramps that do hurt bad... at least they do in the sportive :-)

    I know it's been said time and again, but words cannot describe the vileness of those Garmin sunglasses.

    Oooh. Wasn't expecting that. I reckon this could be Greipel's day. It's all going to come down to how he handles the Cipressa (and how strongly the puncheurs ride it).

    Aye, but they're making no effort to pull the break back. Other teams are doing the work. Good for them if they can.

    A strange thing I used to do in this kind of weather was to use a baseball cap under my helmet. Kept the weather off my face. Can't stand the rain. :-(
