Nice last Sunday, 2008 Paris-Nice
Straight ahead down the road to Milan-San Remo Copyright © 2008 Pete Geyer/www.cyclingfans.com Last week's Paris-Nice winner, Davide Rebellin of Gerolsteiner, knows he's a long shot to win tomorrow's Milan-San Remo as it isn't best suited to his strengths. But his outsider status could work in his favor if the big favorites are too busy watching each other. And a rider who has just tasted victory tends to want more. With his recent victory, Rebellin can also afford to take more risks. The last rider to win Milan-SanRemo after winning Paris-Nice? Frenchman Laurent Jalabert in 1995. 2008 Milan-SanRemo live video streaming Though we do believe there will be at least one alternative to watching tomorrow's Milan-San Remo online, cycling.tv is going to be the best bet for those of you in North America for both the audio commentary in English and server capacity (We're told that cycling.tv can handle up to 25,000 people simultaneously).
