Watching today's running of Milano-Sanremo, all I could think was just how much I wanted to ride these roads - preferably on closed roads as being "enjoyed" by the break away. I image that during the summer these roads are packed with tourists, day trippers, and giant tour buses taking in the views just as I would love to. This break was still holding a good lead with 90 kilometers to race. The break was comprised of Yevgeniy Gidich, Artyom Zakharov (Astana Qazaqstan), Alessandro Tonelli (Bardiani-CSF-Faizane), Filippo Tagliani, Ricardo Alejandro Zurita (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli), Sameule Rivi, Digo Pablo Sevilla (EOLO-Kometa) and Flippo Conca (Lotto Soudal). I doubt they had much time to enjoy the scenery despite spending over seven hours racing up the Mediterranean coast on their way towards the French border.
