Tadej Pogačar got the biggest applause at the Milan-San Remo team presentation on Friday afternoon, the numerous local Italian tifosi are well aware that he is the favourite for Milan-San Remo.

Yet the UAE Team Emirates leader appeared a little hesitant about his chances of winning the first monument of 2023, no doubt aware that 'La Primavera' is a race of lottery, decided by a split-second moment of racing or a good or bad tactical decision.
