After the long distance, a fairly significant climb that appeared in the third hundred kilometers due to the route change, and the heat, an exhausted peloton approached the legendary Cipressa. As they say, you can&#8217;t win the race on this climb, but you have to get over it in such a way that you can give your maximum on the decisive Poggio.<\/p>\n<p>On the Poggio someone will always try something, and it often becomes the decisive attack. This year, too, last year&#8217;s winner Julian Alaphilippe of the Belgian team Deceuninck\u2013Quick-Step attacked here, and Julian&#8217;s attack was so sharp that no one could hold his wheel on the climb. Wout van Aert could only react; it&#8217;s worth noting that at the start of the Cipressa Wout had been at the back of the leading group. On the Poggio climb, during the Frenchman&#8217;s attack, his task was simply to minimize his losses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6232\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bettiniphoto.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6232\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6232 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2_0448109_1_thumb2.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2_0448109_1_thumb2.jpg\" alt=\"Milano Sanremo 2020 - 111th Edition - Milano - Sanremo 305 km - 08\/08\/2020 - Julian Alaphilippe (FRA - Deceuninck - Quick\u2026\" width=\"583\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27583%27%20height%3D%27389%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20583%20389%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27583%27%20height%3D%27389%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2_0448109_1_thumb2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2_0448109_1_thumb2.jpg 583w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Milano Sanremo 2020 &#8211; 111th Edition &#8211; Milano &#8211; Sanremo 305 km &#8211; 08\/08\/2020 &#8211; Julian Alaphilippe (FRA &#8211; Deceuninck &#8211; Quick Step) &#8211; Wout Van Aert (BEL &#8211; Team Jumbo &#8211; Visma) &#8211; photo Luca Bettini\/BettiniPhoto\u00a92020<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And so they began the descent of the legendary Poggio di Sanremo.
