It was the first (official) Monument of the season and certainly through the 5hrs of not-a-lot-happening, the tweeters were out in force … But our timeline really went bananas as the favourites went over the Poggio. It’s another ripping Tweets of the Week with *that* descent, Formolo faces, Tufts of Power, Lachlan’s big adventure, burger butts and much much more.
Milan-Sanremo 2022 , the first Monument of the year, a beautiful Italian day. Just shy of 300km, as we all know, the action doesn’t start until the peloton nears the Cipressa. But when the action did kick off with 30km to go, holy moly! The winner was Slovenian but definitely not the Slovenian everyone was sure was going to win. It was, in fact, a well-prepared, fearless Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) who took the title with an audacious and at times violent descent of the Poggio. We’ll start there and work our way back to the key moments of the race.
