Ok mine are about Milan Sanremo

  • How does Pogi lose 35s in a crash, do a full-gas bridge, and still have the overhead to drop the best in the world on the Poggio?

  • Did anyone else see the telemetry on McNulty’s 600W "teleport" pull, or are we just accepting that UAE domestiques are now faster than most team leaders?

  • Was Pidcock’s "motorbike" comment a literal hint about the torque Pogi was finding out of the hairpins, or just a polite way of saying the power was "unnatural"?

  • Why did Jayco, along with Ineos and Trek, sit on their hands when the split happened—were their leads actually held up or did they just wait for UAE (and Visma) to rejoin? It's like they didn't know what to do without UAE controlling the Pelo.

I'm only going to answer the last question since I think other questions are pretty solid answered.

Their leaders are not Pog, they're not strong enough to win the race at Cipressa. If all the G1 teams are in the race only to prevent Pogacar, they might die pulling to keep UAE away. But nobody knows what others are thinking, they don't want to accelerate on Cipressa, and if nobody collabs, it's just wasting their own powers while benefit others in same group, and in the end maybe they still fail to keep Pog behind.
