Riders will long remember this Milan-Sanremo ran in the snow

"Fucking Freezing" In two words, Mark Cavendish has summarized the mindset that lived runners Sunday. Two days of spring, snow, rain and freezing temperatures have transformed into a living hell Primavera. "In my life, I've never been so cold today," said the Spaniard Jose Joaquin Rojas (Movistar). "Zero degrees, with rain and snow frozen on the bike." The riders stopped at the 117th km of the 298 km long race to reach the coast aboard their comfortable vehicles teams.

Situation quite comical that Maarten Tjallingii (Blanco), has not prevented to note: "This is the first time that I can send my wife live news of my race." Mathieu Ladagnous (FDJ) also preferred to laugh at this day like no other: "Milan San Remo in two short steps! 130km today in the snow and 125km in pouring rain ..." Joking aside, the runners who finished the 104th edition of Milan-Sanremo have all achieved a feat. "What a day All riders deserve a medal. And a lot of respect." Philippe Gilbert tweeted.
