Sports writing, March 17 Tadej Pogacar (United Arab Emirates) of Slovenia faces Sanremo in Milan, which will take place next Saturday. This monument is the first 'monument' of the year that comes at a good time for the Tour de France double winner after taking control of the tour of Tyrrhenia in the UAE, Strade Bianche and the Adriatic Sea. “I couldn't start the year better. I think the results are shown in groups because the whole team got together and worked really hard. I'm excited about Milano-Sanremo. I know that the finish line is not far from where I live in Munich, so I know the final part of the race and eventually go up a little,” said Fogaca. The 23-year-old Slovenian will be the leader of a powerful team completed by Alessandro Covey, David Pomolo, Ryan Gibbons, Jan Polanc, Olivier Troia and Diego Ulisi. “This race is one of the hardest to win, and it can end in many ways. The UAE has a team with all the options, so we're ready to be a great race,” he said. Milan Sanremo, the longest race on the calendar, takes place on Saturdays with a course of 293 km. socks/sea
