Mama Mia! Milan-San Remo has not disappointed, from Pogi’s Poggio power to Cipressa carnage to a whole lotta Lotte doubters made schtum and all of it leaving us almost equally so. This is hardly ideal considering there’s an hour of podcast time to kill so we talk about some other stuff too. What did we learn from Tirreno and Paris-Nice? No bull with Isaac Del Toro, that’s for sure (oh, come on, everyone else has used it) but Visma-Lease-a-Bike seemingly have no shortage of moaning as well as a future title sponsor. We look ahead to more Flanders racing and also discover that Calalunya could be a bigger deal than we at first thought this season. All this plus culturally-insensitive climbs and news from Simpson-Nouvelles’ 2026 home debut at the ANEXO/CAMS Cicle Classic.

📸 Before the introduction of the Poggio in 1960 and the Cipressa in 1982, the Passo del Turchino was considered the decisive point of Milan-San Remo rather than the gateway to the Ligurian coast, where the modern race truly begins.The photo shows riders cresting del Passo during the 1922 edition, a race won by Giovanni Brunero, the first of his 3 victories in La Classicissima di primavera.(Credit: Fondazione Pirelli.)
