Milan-San Remo – Philippe Gilbert and … “the ultimate dream”

Updated:17/03/2018

Third, in Milan-San Remo in 2008 and 2011, Philippe Gilbert is still chasing the Classicissima. This Saturday, the Belgian will take the start of the race for the 14th time of his career, with the ambition to finally hang this race to his record. Co-leader of the Quick-Step Floors team with Julian Alaphilippe, he confided in Humo magazine before the first Monument of the season. ”

The last edition proves that we can avoid a massive sprint in San Remo, explains the former world champion. In 2008, I was leading in the Poggio but my lead was not important enough. Fabian Cancellara then won. Shortly after, I was with friends at a wine fair not far from Liège. We then each bought a bottle of magnum and said: “If I ever win Milan-San Remo, we will drink together”.

In 2011, I was not far away. We went out with a group in the Poggio and I attacked less than two kilometers from the line. But Filippo Pozzato came back and Matt Goss won. The bottles are still in the basement of a friend in Remouchamps. I may have rolled in the Poggio a hundred times. It’s close to Monaco, where I live. Arriving on Via Roma and winning is the ultimate dream” and fifth in the Het Nieuwsblad circuit, the Belgian has already shown what he was capable of this season. His opponents can logically expect to see him point the tip of his helmet at the approach of the Cipressa.
