Elisa Balsamo is focused on winning the Milan-San Remo Women race shortly after earning her third Trofeo Alfredo Binda victory. As the first women's edition of this race in 20 years, Balsamo expresses her excitement and acknowledges the unpredictability of road racing. She believes that having a small bunch sprint would be ideal for her chances, although she must first navigate the technical climbs and ensure her team's tactics are on point to reach that goal.
"Of course winning San Remo is a dream, I think for everyone, but especially as an Italian rider. This is the first year again and I know that every year there will be this race, but of course it's a big dream for me [to win this edition]."
"I'm feeling good, but I also think that you never know what can happen in these kind of races. It's more or less like Binda - you don't know if there will be a bunch sprint, a small bunch, a breakaway, or a solo..."
"My perfect scenario is a small bunch sprint, but I know that before, I need to survive on the climbs, and also the downhill is quite technical, but I really hope for a small bunch sprint."
