Philippe Gilbert is looking forward to returning to competition. The Liege will compete in his first race post-coronavirus on the 1st of August to the Strade Bianche in Italy, where it will remain for the start of Milan-Turin (5 August) and Milan-Sanremo (August 8), the only one of the five Monuments that eluded him.
Triumph in the Primavera, however, is not an obsession, ” says the rider of Lotto Soudal, who will be 38 years old on 5 July. “It would be of course nice to win Milan-Sanremo, but it will not be a disaster if it was not the case. My season, this is more than Milan-Sanremo, my life does not depend on this, ” he says.
