S10 Ep17: Countdown to Milan-Sanremo

The second of this week's episodes looks ahead to Milan-Sanremo and asks whether Tadej Pogačar can become the first grand tour champion since Vincenzo Nibali to win La Primavera.

Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss dominance and whether Pogačar is on course to 'complete' cycling. Winning Milan-Sanremo, a race that can be won by sprinters, climbers and attackers, would be his third Monument victory in under a year but other teams, notably Jumbo-Visma and Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl, will have plenty to say about that.

Get ready for the longest Classic of the season with our in-depth look ahead at the race.
