You have to be very careful on those bends on the descent into San
Remo as they are very tricky and if you mess up you end up in the
plastic roofed greenhouses down below
That's why a lead of even a few seconds over the top is a real morale
booster as you can usually descend faster solo than in a group and
it's only about a klick and a half from the bottom of the descent to
the finish
I Remember Kelly going up the Poggio in 53/14 to forge an advantage
several years ago and after a kamikaze descent, when poor old
Fondriest, who thought he had it won, looked back to check his advantage
with 800 meters to go, he saw Kelly on his wheel
Game over Rizzio!!!!!!
